Many people know the Sheriff name for our expertise in delivering roofing, waterproofing and brickwork contracts across London and the South East of England but did you know our business has grown into a wider group of specialist companies over the last 20 years?
From our early beginnings as a family-run brickwork company back in 2005, we’ve evolved into Sheriff Construction (roofing), Sheriff Brickworks (masonry), Crestview Homes (property development) and McLains (estate agency/ property services). Keep reading to learn more about each of these businesses and how our journey continues to evolve.
Late payment has long been a major issue across the construction industry – particularly for small and medium-sized businesses and subcontractors – often creating significant pressure on cash flow and overall financial stability.
That is why the government’s proposed Small Business Protections Bill is attracting significant attention across the sector. The Bill, which entered Parliament today (19th May), is being described as the biggest crackdown on late payments in more than 25 years. Keep reading this week’s blog to find out more about what the proposed changes involve and what this means for construction and the wider economy.
With 1 in 4 people experiencing a mental health problem every year and 1 in 6 working-age adults experiencing symptoms associated with mental ill health, increasing awareness of this issue and taking action to address it couldn’t be more important.
That’s why this year’s Mental Health Awareness Week is themed ‘Take Action – for yourself, for others and for all of us’. Keep reading this week’s blog to find out more about the campaign and what we’re doing at Sheriff this week and beyond.
Deaf Awareness Week (4 – 10 May) is an important opportunity to recognise the experiences of people who are deaf or have hearing loss, and to reflect on how we can create more inclusive environments in everyday life and at work.
Last year, we marked this week by sharing a blog on communication challenges in construction and how simple changes can make a big difference. That piece led to something far more meaningful than we could have anticipated – it connected us with a local college and Rehan, a student looking for an opportunity in the industry. Read on to learn more about Deaf Awareness Week, Rehan’s story and how we can all communicate more effectively.
