Emanuel Whittaker have recently hosted another work experience student, in partnership with Salix Homes.
Pictured here is Emanuel Whittaker Site Manager, Mike Harrison and recent work experience student, Jo Adeoti.
Jo was handed a certificate when he completed his time with us and he also filled in a work placement questionnaire before he left and it was clear that Jo had really enjoyed his time spent working with us.
Jo showed a lot of promise and we wish him well in his future career in Construction.

Lasting Legacy

Feb 28, 2024

 

When we set up our site compound at Rectory Green, it meant the neighbouring rear garden of Block 1–12 would be isolated from upkeep, as the work duration would be just over a year.

When works were completed and the compound was dismantled, we thought the garden area was in need of some TLC.

After liaising with the residents of the block who tend the memorial garden, it was agreed that the area would be a wildflower garden, where school children from the neighbouring St. Marys, could come across with teacher supervision and get involved with planting etc.

In partnership with Emanuel Whittaker, Sub-Contractor Multevo, we cleared the area, laid new paving stones, created a new boundary fence, including gates, along with a storage shed and garden planters too. We even had a ton of top soil spread on the garden area, so it was all ready for future planting.

As you can see from the photographs, the area has been totally transformed and is a lasting legacy for both residents and school children to enjoy for many a year to come.

Tyre Trouble

Jan 23, 2024

 

PNWHA Housing Officer, Julie Hodgkinson, incurred a flat tyre on her way to work and happened to mention it to the site team.

Emanuel Whittaker Joiner, Mick Crossan, offered his services and put Julie’s spare on, so she could get a repair on her way home.

Festive Treats

Jan 23, 2024

Neighbouring school, St Mary’s, had their choir come over to Rectory Green after school in early December, to sing Christmas Carols to the residents around the newly planted Christmas tree, in the communal gardens.

PNWHA had arranged gazebos and seating along with mince pies and mulled wine for residents, which turned out to be a very festive affair.

Emanuel Whittaker purchased lots of confectionary goodies, such as candy canes, lollipops, sweets and jellies, that were placed in a dipping bag so the children could help themselves, before going home after singing their hearts out.
