Our purpose is to develop better ways to build,
for a world of changing demands

We will achieve this through the Group’s strategy which is focused on its core strengths of engineering and construction in the UK, Republic of Ireland and continental Europe.

Our well-established strategy is unchanged, focused on growth, both organic and through selective acquisitions, operational improvements and building further value in JSSL. This is supported by an emphasis on five key elements and assisted by our business improvement programme.

Our business improvement programme represents the consolidation of all the Group’s ongoing improvement projects, established to help us deliver the Group’s overall strategy. These include improvements in business processes, use of technology, manufacturing efficiencies, quality control, cost reduction programmes and new product development, all set within the framework of strong risk management and control. The progress we have made on these initiatives have served the Group well during the COVID-19 pandemic and the current inflationary market conditions.
