bespoke Sponsors Student Awards

bespoke was delighted to have been asked to sponsor a Student Award for our contract at the City of Bristol College. Part of our mission is to support our clients in their CSR objectives as part of our own community engagement policies so we were really pleased to have this opportunity .

 

The 2021 ceremony had to take place online this year due to the Covid Pandemic, but there was still plenty of excitement to be had, and bespoke’s Management Team of Kate Molton, Regional Manager, and Toni Finn, Area/Contract Manager were able to be there in spirit at least!

The College said:

“…We would like to thank our sponsors who are generous in supporting the awards. Many thanks to Dovetail and Slate (Talentia), Latcham, bespoke Cleaning Services, Bristol Sport Foundation and BBS Plumbing and Heating Supplies Ltd…”

bespoke’s Accreditations are Go!

bespoke is very happy to have been re-awarded our SAFE Contractor Accreditation –  for the 17th year running! 

Health and Safety is so important – and especially in the ‘new normal’  of the Covid 19 Pandemic – that’s it’s crucial that we keep up these accreditations and certifications, and that we demonstrate this commitment to our employees, clients and potential clients.

bespoke’s Projects and Compliance Manager, Stella Green, commented:

“…I’m really pleased that we have had our renewal confirmed again – the management team here at bespoke is well aware of the vital importance of Health & Safety in the workplace and works very hard to make this a part of the overall company culture…”

WorldEnvironmentDay

World Environment Day

June 5th 2021 is this year’s World Environment Day,  and bespoke thought we would take this opportunity to recap some of the practical steps we are taking to further improve our performance in this area.  

As well as being ISO 14001 certified, we have made a specific commitment for 2021 to be our own ‘Year of the Environment’ – current projects, controls and innovations include:

  • Our Tree Planting initiative (see April’s news post for full details)
  • All new company vehicles are Hybrid as standard, including five new leases so far this year; all electric vehicles will come online as the infrastructure available improves
  • We are currently trialling an exciting new ‘chemical-free’ cleaning system which will radically reduce the amount of cleaning products we use and make a dramatic cut to the amount of waste packaging we produce as a company – watch this space for full details!
  • Paper-free and tablet-based reporting and contract documentation systems
