As well as giving our teams and their supporters a great afternoon out, the event has raised an incredible amount for our three charities of the year. Keep reading to find out how the tournament played out – and which team was finally crowned the winners!
When working on a construction site, actions like lifting, bending, climbing and moving in awkward positions are often part of the everyday job. Because of that, it can be easy to think this kind of work is enough to keep you physically fit.
The fitness industry would disagree – arguing that when people who carry out physically demanding jobs also adopt a structured fitness programme, it can lead to better performance, reduce downtime and extend careers.

Last Thursday, Sheriff Construction officially marked its 20th Anniversary in business at a celebratory Gala – bringing colleagues, clients, suppliers, friends and family together for a truly memorably evening.

In this week’s blog, we’ll cover why mechanical lifting demands rigorous planning and control and share some practical DO’s and DON’Ts based on HSE guidance.
