Our recent Employee Engagement Day was attended by 150 employees from across Sustainable Investments Ltd. The group, which consists of Sustainable Building Services (UK) Ltd, Sustainable Energy Services (UK), Permarock Products Ltd and Sustainable Smart Technologies (UK) Ltd, came together to celebrate our progress and achievements made in the past year, as well as looking forward to the opportunities to seize in the future.
The event took place at Carden Park in Cheshire, involving talks from senior figures within the group and Stef Reid MBE – five-time world record holder and triple paralympic medalist. Stef spoke about the importance of resilience, reflecting on the challenges and setbacks she has overcome to achieve sporting greatness. Her talk was centered around ‘the adaptive mindset’, and how this could be applied to business, which captivated and inspired a packed room of engaged listeners.
Meanwhile, group owner and chair Derek Horrocks shared about the positive impact we are making in the residential decarbonisation sector and wider net zero agenda – helping to improve lives, strengthen communities and support employee career growth.
Our HR department, including Kristine Gallagher and Laura Johnson, also led an insightful session on the future growth of the group, career development opportunities, wellbeing and the importance of a supportive work environment.
To round off the day, everyone enjoyed Carden Park’s outdoor facilities, taking part in team activities including archery, segway riding, laser clay pigeon shooting, and the vertigo high ropes course, followed by an evening of dinner and entertainment involving a live magician, singing duet and DJ.
Derek said: “Behind all our results is a team of passionate, hardworking and talented individuals who have chosen to join us in our mission to improve the UK’s housing stock and its energy efficiency ratings. Every day I am inspired by the achievements made across the Sustainable Investments group, with our annual Employee Engagement Day being a centre piece for reflection and forward planning.
“I am already looking forward to our next event and expect to see further important progress made. Now is the time for change, and with everyone’s commitment, I am confident the Sustainable Investments group will remain an influential leader in the residential decarbonisation sector.”
