Building Heroes

From Cliff Woodward, Chief Executive of Westworks:

Dear Colleagues,

As a part of our corporate social responsibility strategy we have teamed up with Building Heroes to help them access the public sector housing and built environment works.

So who are Building Heroes?

Building Heroes is a charity training military veterans for employment in the construction industry upon leaving the services. To provide an opportunity for these veterans to access employment, Building Heroes also act as an agency; supplying trades and labour for temporary, contract and permanent positions, as well as temp to perm assignments.

Both members and suppliers of Westworks can benefit from Building Heroes, they can provide ex-service personnel trained in building and maintenance skills on a temporary or permanent basis. With 50% of Westworks staff being ex-service, myself included, this is something that is not only dear to our hearts but also what I believe to be a good idea!

Ex-service people bring with them a work and personal conduct ethic that gives assurance of a job being done well, on time and with diligence. Highly developed inter-personal skills make Building Heroes trades very suitable for working in occupied residential or commercial properties where politeness, discretion and communication is paramount.
