I am very excited about our prospects for 2024. Since forming our Employees Ownership Trust, 2 years ago, I and the other leaders have gradually formulated our strategy for the future, and I would like to share that with you.
Welcome to the Ash newsletter, keeping you up to date with events, projects, new staff and other general Ash news.
Ash is now effectively owned by an Employees Ownership Trust.
What does that mean… take a look!
The Ash team has begun weekly rapid lateral flow covid testing of all site and operational staff as an additional safety step amid concerns about the higher transmission of the new variant.
No Matter how big or small a project, safety is the number one priority. Well done to the whole team who have worked tirelessly to make sure we deliver client-focused construction safely. We are pleased to share with you this year’s round of H&K awards.
Well, what can we say about 2020 so far… It’s given us a pandemic, a lockdown, the Furlough scheme, a rise in shares for Zoom and Microsoft, the best weather we have seen in a while, brought back UK holidays, facemasks and not to forget homeschooling and ever greater appreciation for our health workers!
It’s been a strange start to 2020 and one that has taken the whole world by surprise. The construction industry was left a little unsettled as to how they would be able to continue to work safely. Here is how the Ash team have tackled working with COVID-19 pandemic.
As the COVID-19 situation continues to develop rapidly and in order to protect the health & safety and the wellbeing of our staff, subcontractors and clients, we have decided to temporarily close all of our sites with immediate effect.

Based in Beckenham Place Park, the Homestead is an 18th-century stable block, consisting of a stable yard with three surrounding cottages.
Summer for Ash is one of the busiest times of the year. In the heart of the school holidays, Ash have had a focus on projects within the education sector; from fast-tracked school holiday projects to others that will see us well into the autumn months.
Ash are passionate about encouraging the next generation of workers to enter into the construction industry.
In September of 2017 Ash Contracting won a £4.2mil contract by Phoenix Community Housing Trust.
Ash has recently completed 2 flag ship projects and more. Here are details about the projects.
For far too long construction has been a male-dominated industry. At Ash, we want to challenge this stereotype and do all we can to celebrate women in the industry and the importance of their contribution.
Ash are pleased to announce that this year we will be fundraising to support Alzheimer’s Society.
Ash recently welcomed 4 groups of pupils to site at Beckenham Place Park. The students from Sedgehill School are studying Design, Engineering and Construction.

The Considerate Contractors Scheme (CCS) is a voluntary scheme contractors can engage with, promoting the improvement of the image of the construction industry.
Taking responsibility for our environmental impact is something we at Ash feel is essential given the current state of the climate and a stance we encourage everyone to take.
It’s key to start the year off as we mean to go on and with that in mind, we kicked 2019 off with a staff engagement day.
With 2018 coming to a close here at Ash we have been thinking about 2019 and how we can make the best year of it yet!
We are taking time to reflect on some of what we have been able to give back to the community over the year.
