AWARDS
SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY
McLaughlin and Harvey continue to manage the site with
exceptionally high standards. This was recognised at the national
award ceremony of the Considerate Constructors Scheme where
they were presented with a Silver Award, narrowly missing out on
Gold by only one point. Nationally there are over 9,000 companies
eligible to apply for these awards and only 287 Silver Awards and 99
Gold Awards are presented.
Autism Awareness Week - 27th March to 2nd April
In addition McLaughlin and Harvey have also been awarded RoSPA
(Royal Society for Prevention of Accidents) Gold Award for the fifth
consecutive year which again is in recognition of the site team’s
highest regard and commitment to Health and Safety and Wellbeing
within the workplace.
Prince’s Trust students visited the site and met with McLaughlin and
Harvey staff and other contractors. Their focus was on sustainability
aspects of the project.
BREEAM is the Building Research Establishment Environmental
Assessment Methodology. It is a scheme against which buildings are
measured to secure a rating. BREEAM sets the standard for best
practice in sustainable building design, construction and operation and
has become one of the most comprehensive and widely recognised
measures of a building’s environmental performance.
Ayrshire College actively encourages women to enter careers and
learning programmes where female participation is traditionally low.
The “Ayrshire Girl Can” campaign aims to showcase what talented
and inspiring women we have in Ayrshire.
It encourages designers, clients and others to think about low carbon
and low impact design, minimising the energy demands created
by a building before considering energy efficiency and low carbon
technologies.
During Autism Awareness Week McLaughlin and Harvey made
information about autism available to all on site.
