Sustainable. Safe. Enjoyable.

We provide a positive, inclusive and safe experience for all.

We are a social enterprise.

This means that our core environmental and social missions are what drive the company forwards, whilst recognising that we still need to be financially self-sustaining.

This is reflected in our business practice in several ways:

  • We run a financially transparent project model that puts trust and openness front and centre.

  • We focus on creating a safe, inclusive and positive culture throughout our business from site to office and are implementing various progressive initiatives to facilitate a better work/life balance, including flexible working for all team members.

Founding Principles

These values form the foundations for what Hawkland is today, and aims to be tomorrow.

The safety, enjoyment and creation of a positive, inclusive culture to be proud of is such an important goal for us. We embody this in everything we do.

  • To minimise our impact on the environment, and where possible improve it through our choice of materials and business practices.

  • We advocate a ‘knowledge-led approach’ to all the work we do. This isn’t just limited to explicit knowledge but includes and aims to encourage the value of tacit knowledge.

  • Striving for quality should underpin all elements of our work - we actively create a space where a high standard is encouraged and expected.

  • We strongly believe in creating a foundation of trust between Hawkland, our clients, our contractors and our suppliers. From this basis we can create a responsive, resilient and positive organisational structure.

  • At the root of everything we do is transparency. As part of creating a social business we feel it’s important to be fully open and transparent about our business practices.

  • We exist today on the innovation of yesterday. By encouraging and facilitating innovation we hope we can play a part in shaping tomorrow.

  • No one should be excluded from our site or any part of our company based on their background, gender, race, religion, social status, sexual orientation or otherwise.

  • As an extension of Trust we operate from a basis of being open to collaboration. We are willing to share, collaborate on and work with anyone that shares these same values.

FOUR DAY WEEK

Plus regular socials, training and adventures!

Working on site is physically and mentally demanding and after years of working long weeks and short weekends travelling around the country, Chris and David promised not to expect this of the team as the company grew.

Since 2021 we have been operating with a 4 day working week for our site teams. Our site team work a 9 hour day, Monday-Thursday.

This enables us to keep projects on track, whilst providing a decent amount of rest & recovery time over the weekend.
