Company and KTP Associate nominated as Construction Award Finalists

Blackpool-based Create Construction and their KTP Associate, Eric Lou, are finalists for the Business Innovation and Young Achiever of the Year Awards respectively, in the North West Regional Construction Awards 2012.

In collaboration with the University of Salford, the Company has used a KTP project to develop a quality management system to address corporate responsibility (CR), and was a key factor in their nominations.

As part of the KTP, Create has initiated several new policies and best practice guides - Pollution Control Policy; Sustainable Procurement Policy; Water Environment Policy; and Carbon Policy. So far, the CR policy has been developed and aligned to the newly established ISO 26000 and AccountAbility (AA1000) in aspects of Corporate Governance, Employees, Community, Business-to-Business and Environment.

Create has 2 sites in the top 10% most considerate sites in the UK during 2011 and aim to achieve more in 2012. By reducing construction waste, decreasing carbon emissions, employing locally, expanding local knowledge and giving back to the local community, Create Construction in partnership with the University is moving ever closer to their goal of becoming a leader in their field.
