Bilston Community Receives Helping Hand From Local Contractor

A team from Caddick, the contractor currently on site at Foundry Business Park in Wolverhampton, has taken time out from building work to support Bilston Church of England Primary School as part of the business’ Communities Month volunteer programme.

The team spent 114 hours creating a new Japanese themed sensory garden. The work took place during the school’s half term break and saw Caddick develop the new garden in the school’s outdoor adventure area, clearing overgrown vegetation to make it more accessible.

Bilston Church of England Primary School, located on Albany Crescent, is a Christian school promoting all faiths and cultures. Its new garden will give pupils and staff a calming space to visit and spend time.

Caddick’s annual Communities Month initiative builds on its support for the communities it works within across the Midlands, and forms part of its wider Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) strategy, Places for Life.

As a registered partner with the Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS), Caddick is dedicated to raising standards across its business and the wider industry, which includes extensive investment in activity that positively impacts local people.

Bilston Church of England Primary School was selected by the team of volunteers as part of Caddick’s ongoing growth in the region. This includes its recent appointment to Goold Estates’ Foundry Business Park in Bilston and the completion of the new 100,000 sq. ft distribution warehouse at Vernon Park in Wolverhampton.

Ray O’Sullivan, Regional Managing Director of Caddick Construction Midlands, commented:

“Communities Month is an excellent opportunity for us to give back to the local community in Bilston and for our team to make a meaningful contribution to the people we work with and live alongside daily. The new sensory garden at Bilston Church of England Primary School will offer pupils an enriching outdoor space for them to enjoy and relax in, while also serving as a learning environment where they can discover and understand plants and wildlife, and how to care for them.” Ray O’Sullivan, Regional Managing Director of Caddick Construction Midlands
