We believe that, through careful consideration of our decisions and actions, we can create wider benefit – contributing to strong, resilient and thriving communities now and for the future.

At Sheriff Construction, we believe businesses like ours have a vital role to play in helping communities thrive. We seek to deliver community value at every opportunity.

That means supporting education and charitable initiatives, working collaboratively with clients and community organisations to invest in sustainable social infrastructure, building positive partnerships in the places where our people live and work, and engaging equitably with local businesses and emerging enterprises.

We want to be seen not just as a contractor, but as a positive force within the communities we serve.

Young people and future talent

At Sheriff, we support people of all ages to develop confidence, skills and ambition – whether that’s within our working environment or beyond.

  • Engaging with schools, colleges and training providers to offer apprenticeships, work placements and curriculum-based workshops
  • Supporting career changers and return-to-work adults to access construction as a career path
  • Investing in talent beyond the workplace by supporting grassroots youth sports clubs

Charity, fundraising and community events

Giving back is an established part of our culture – delivered through donations, fundraising and active participation in charitable and community initiatives.

  • Supporting charities and social causes through company-led fundraising and initiatives
  • Participating in community events local to our Head Office and project sites
  • Organising seasonal initiatives, including food bank drives
  • Undertaking volunteering activities that benefit local communities

Partnerships and social infrastructure

We believe meaningful community impact is best achieved through collaboration. Working with clients, contractors and local organisations, we support the social infrastructure that enables communities to function, connect and grow.

  • Working with clients to support and enhance their social value objectives
  • Adopting a community- and environmentally conscious approach to our property developments through Crestview Homes
  • Engaging positively with neighbouring organisations and community groups, responding practically when needs are identified

Local economic impact and enterprise

As our business grows, we remain committed to strengthening local economies – including employment, enterprise and supply chain activity.

  • Prioritising businesses local to our office and project sites within our procurement processes
  • Using standard, fair and inclusive tender procedures to provide opportunities for SMEs and micro businesses
  • Applying prompt payment practices to support supplier and subcontractor stability

Strong communities are built on shared investment – and we’re proud to play our part in helping to achieve this.
