The VGC group specialise in delivering people and projects for major infrastructure projects across the UK.I was appointed to the board in 2005 and as group services director, I lead major head office functions including HR, finance, IT & marketing.Along with the team we have established market-leading recruitment and development strategies. These have made VGC a key partner on projects across the UK including Crossrail, HS2, EGIP, Hinkley Point, Sellafield and Heathrow airport.VGC has a well-established corporate social responsibility strategy focused on attracting new entrants to the industry, developing the existing workforce and supporting the wider community. As only the third company in the UK to achieve the BRE 6002 Ethical Labour Sourcing standard in 2018, VGC demonstrated its ethical approach to people management strategies and its commitment to eliminating modern slavery. I believe that VGC’s approach to labour supply is helping to make the construction and rail industry more diverse, safer and a preferred career choice.Personal achievements include being listed in the Top 100 corporate influencers for modern slavery and the LDC top 50 ambitious business leaders.We have demonstrated that ethical practice, delivering social value and business success are not mutually exclusive.VGC operates in all types of civil engineering environments including roads and bridges, airports, nuclear facilities, utilities, mechanical and electrical services, and heavy and light rail systems.
