With young people nervously awaiting their exam results, many will be eagerly looking forward to starting sixth form or college in the autumn.
Others, however, may still be feeling stuck as to how to answer that big question – what next?

We already looked at roofing back in June, so this week we’re asking – ‘could bricklaying be your path?’
Just a few weeks ago, we explored how data centres could act as a bright new dawn for the UK construction sector – offering strong demand, diverse project types and potential for retrofits and technical innovation.
Yet where opportunities arise, so often do unexpected hurdles. Today, data centres remain a major growth driver, but their extraordinary demand for electricity has collided with grid limitations – creating another obstacle that construction projects must overcome. Find out more in this week’s blog.
Earlier this year, we announced that Sheriff Construction had passed a vigorous vetting process to become an official Trade Member of the National Federation of Roofing Contractors.

Sheriff Construction’s office team has had the pleasure of welcoming two young people on work experience placements within the last month – one from a local school and another from a further education college.
In both cases, the experience was mutually beneficial – offering the students a real taste of a working office environment, while providing Sheriff with a fresh perspective on its processes. Read our blog to find out more about this win-win situation.
