Our Plant Division prioritises continuous training to keep our team’s skills up-to-date. We understand that continuous training is crucial not only for the longevity and reliability of our equipment but also for the safety and efficiency of our operations.

We recently partnered with our long-term heavy machinery supplier, CBL (CLIVE BARFORD LIMITED) to deliver a Service Essentials Refresher Day for our excavator fleet.

This session brought our teams together to discuss and share best practices for excavator maintenance. CBL’s expertise on our fleet provided valuable insights for our operatives. The face-to-face format encouraged collaboration and knowledge sharing among team members.

We will continue to implement training programs like this to maintain industry best practices.

Over the past two weeks, our site team at Timber Square in collarbertion with Mace have enhanced the local sports volley deck in preparation for the summer season.

The teams have successfully accomplished the following tasks:

– Clearing planters, picnic benches & canopy
– Removing the old decking
– Conducting a structural inspection of the existing timber beams
– Dismantling the old balustrade
– Installing new Q decking
– Jet washing the surfaces
– Staining the new timber
– Reinstating the canopy, planters, and picnic benches

A big thank you to everyone for your dedication and hard work!

For the past 15 years, we’ve been committed to responsible disposal and recycling of our tools, partnering with Hilti to ensure a sustainable lifecycle for our equipment. We believe in minimising our environmental impact and maximising the lifespan of our resources, and this long-standing collaboration is a testament to that commitment.

We’re proud to share the positive results of our recycling efforts. In 2024 alone, we’ve seen significant progress in giving our old tools a second life:

54 tools have been either refurbished and given a second life, or had parts successfully reused in the remanufacturing of other tools. This extends the functionality of valuable components and reduces the demand for new resources. We’re thrilled to see these tools continue to contribute to projects, even after their initial use with us.

530 tools have been responsibly recycled, with their constituent materials carefully separated and processed. This has resulted in the recovery of valuable resources, including:

Copper: A vital component in electrical wiring and other applications.

Steel: A strong and versatile material, essential for construction and manufacturing.

Plastic: Recycled and repurposed for a variety of new products.

By working with Hilti’s recycling program, we ensure that our old tools are handled responsibly and don’t end up in landfills. This process not only reduces waste but also conserves valuable natural resources and minimizes the environmental impact associated with raw material extraction.

Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond just recycling. We also prioritise the use of durable, high-quality tools that are built to last, reducing the need for frequent replacements. This, combined with our responsible recycling practices, allows us to minimise our overall environmental footprint.

We’re proud of the progress we’ve made in the past 15 years and look forward to continuing our partnership with Hilti to further enhance our sustainability efforts. We believe that responsible practices are essential for a healthy planet, and we’re committed to doing our part to create a more sustainable future. We will continue to track our recycling efforts and share our progress with you, our valued clients. Thank you for your continued support as we strive to build a better future together.

Huge Congratulations to Fabio and Emil on their recent recognition from our client Mace on site at The Oxford Science Park (TOSP) for promoting safe practices within the team.

Great work!

As part of a wider programme of wellbeing for all J Coffey staff and partners, we kicked off our onsite wellness days with great success at Judd Street. Every available slot was attended and additional sessions are already being arranged.

The Judd Street Wellbeing Day in February 2025 proved to be a remarkable achievement for our construction team. We successfully engaged with over a third of our onsite team members, providing them with essential health screenings and tailored wellness guidance right at their workplace.

Having health services available on site made a significant impact. Team members could take a break from their tasks, still in their work attire, to receive crucial health assessments. Many discovered health concerns that they might not have been aware of without these screenings.

A significant takeaway was how comfortable people felt discussing mental health in their familiar work environment. For many, this was their first chance to have an open conversation about mental wellbeing with a health professional. The relaxed setting helped break down barriers that might have existed in more formal healthcare settings.

The team provided practical health resources and advice that workers could use – from tips about staying healthy on site to managing work-related stress. Even those who were initially unsure about participating found the sessions worthwhile and left with useful strategies to improve their wellbeing.

The strong turnout shows there’s a real need for this kind of workplace health support. The fact that 38% of the workforce took time to participate speaks volumes about how valuable these services are when they’re easily accessible.

By bringing health services directly to the construction site, we’re making it easier for our workforce to stay on top of their health. The positive feedback and requests for more similar sessions suggest this approach is hitting the mark in supporting our team’s wellbeing.

Well done to George who has been recently recognised by our client Mace for his outstanding commitment to safety and quality on site at Timber Square.

George is a long serving member of the team and continues to deliver above and beyond. Keep up the good work.

Every quarter, a vital exchange of knowledge takes place within our organisation as teams from the Construction, Infrastructure, and Data Centre Divisions converge for an interactive forum. This gathering, designed to promote collaboration and continuous improvement, serves as a platform for exploring cutting-edge innovations, sharing invaluable lessons learned, and disseminating best practices observed across our diverse sites.

The forum’s structure encourages active participation, allowing team members to present their experiences, engage in robust discussions, and learn from their colleagues’ expertise. This cross-pollination of ideas is instrumental in driving efficiency, enhancing quality, and fostering a culture of shared learning.

Recent forums have showcased a range of advancements, from the implementation of new sustainable construction techniques to the adoption of advanced digital tools for site management. Discussions have also delved into problem-solving strategies for complex infrastructure projects and innovative approaches to data centre build-outs. Participants have shared practical insights into optimising workflows, mitigating risks, and streamlining processes, contributing to a collective pool of knowledge that benefits the entire organisation.

Crucially, this quarterly gathering acts as a powerful reminder of our unwavering commitment to health and safety. The forum provides a dedicated space to reinforce safety protocols, share best practices for hazard identification and mitigation, and discuss lessons learned from any incidents or near misses.

“Safety is paramount in everything we do,” emphasised Gideon Tweedy (Head of Health and Safety). “This platform allows us to collectively reinforce our commitment to ensuring every individual returns home safely at the end of each day. By sharing our experiences and learning from each other, we can continuously improve our safety performance and create a safer working environment for everyone.”

By bringing together diverse perspectives and fostering a culture of collaboration, this quarterly forum is instrumental in driving innovation, promoting best practices, and reinforcing our unwavering commitment to health and safety. It serves as a testament to our dedication to continuous improvement and our collective pursuit of excellence across all divisions.
