Helping Hand

Emanuel Whittaker Site Manager, Gary Welsby, lent a hand when he noticed a heavily pregnant MCC resident heading out to take her rubbish to the ground floor bins.

Gary stepped in and took her rubbish out for her.

We have been delighted to work alongside our client, Salix Homes, by assisting the Lower Kersal Young People and Community Group (LKYPCG).

As part of our Good News Stories and Community Initiative, our team have also gone the extra mile to assist with this project.

  • Installation of paved patio area

All Clear

A big shout-out to Emanuel Whittaker Labourer, Chris Folan, lending a hand to one of our MCC residents.

Noticing that the weeds outside her front door had become a bit of a jungle, Chris jumped into action and cleared the area, making it much safer and more accessible.

Problem Solved

Oct 29, 2025

Tonge Court residents Anne & Tony had new carpets fitted in their home, unfortunately the thicker carpet pile meant that the airing cupboard door wouldn’t open without dragging.

Tony asked if we could possibly assist.

Emanuel Whittaker Joiner, Steve Clark, removed & planed the door and refitted it within the hour.

Anne was delighted and passed her thanks on to the team.
