Beech Holdings

They support a different local charity every year and use it as an opportunity to create or contribute to their own events while raising money. Some examples include running the Manchester 10k and organising a charity pub quiz. Last year, employees raised around £6,000 for the Reclaim Project.

Beech Holdings have a social committee that works hard to ensure that employees spend some time together in a relaxed environment. They organise impromptu Friday drinks in the office if management feel the overall office atmosphere feels a little ‘heavy' - for example, at the end of a construction project or during tenant check-in season.

The company is committed to apprentice recruitment and development, taking school and college leavers as well as mature students through formal qualifications, such as NVQs, BTECs, HNCs, CIOBs and MRICs.
