Sue engaged the young people by building on their existing knowledge to discuss jobs in the construction industry, personal branding, and interview skills. The learners were thoroughly engaged throughout the session, and as their confidence grew, they were able to identify and apply their own transferable skills in a practical task.

It has been a pleasure for Southgate & Sarabia Architects to work with Stepnell as Main Contractor on the Health & Wellbeing Hub at Chesterfield Royal Hospital. The team from start to finish were great to work with, taking a proactive approach on the design and build of the project.
The team pushed for sustainability, which was really refreshing for a contractor to be so passionate about sustainability. It was great for the team to work in a collaborative way, getting involved with events outside the project, which was an opportunity for the teams to work together for a good cause.

Kane was a very good site manager, working on a particularly unpleasant site. He communicated well with local residents, and completed the work earlier than programmed. Communication was good throughout and all handover documents were sent to DCC shortly after completion. All applications for payment were made on time, and Stepnell supported DCC in issuing interim applications to help with our end of year financial cash flow.

Stepnell didn’t just tender the best value bid, it was the manner in which their bid was put together, as well as their experience of working in education. At every stage of the process, Stepnell sent all relevant personnel to site and clearly worked as a professional team together with their subcontractors. It meant we knew they had really considered every aspect of the project carefully, putting forward options, really wanting the best for us the client, and therefore our students.
