Morgan Sindall Construction achieves North Lanarkshire Council’s Employer Charter gold status

Morgan Sindall Construction has secured gold status in North Lanarkshire’s Employer Charter, marking a significant achievement in the company's 15-year history of delivering transformational projects across the region.

The gold-level accreditation, awarded through the North Lanarkshire Employer Charter, recognises Morgan Sindall's exceptional performance across fair pay practices, local employment initiatives, procurement strategies and workforce development programmes.

Operating from its North Lanarkshire headquarters, the company has successfully delivered 15 major projects with a combined value of more than £141 million. This success has generated an excess of £50 million in social value, with 81% of project expenditure retained within a 25-mile radius and 96.7% directed to small and medium-sized enterprises. In addition, the company invested £99,600 in social enterprises, further demonstrating its commitment to sustainable and responsible business practices.

Morgan Sindall Construction’s dedication to local development is reflected through various initiatives, including the creation of 42 pre-apprenticeship opportunities and the development of 27 dedicated apprenticeship positions.

The company has also delivered carbon literacy training across local schools, helping to upskill young people and support the region’s journey towards sustainability. Additionally, the implementation of sector-leading family-friendly working practices underscores its commitment to employee well-being and inclusion.

Beyond the build itself, Morgan Sindall's projects have maintained an exceptional 100% safety record, with zero accidents or environmental incidents recorded. The firm's innovative Joint Venture Apprenticeship model has proved particularly successful, creating sustainable pathways into construction for young people across North Lanarkshire.

Stuart Parker, Managing Director at Morgan Sindall Construction Scotland, said:

We are incredibly proud to receive the Employer Charter gold status. This recognition is a testament to our commitment to the communities we serve and our dedication to responsible business practices.

For us, every project is more than just bricks and mortar - it’s about creating spaces that positively impact the lives of local residents, including our own families who live, work and attend school in the area. By investing in local talent and nurturing future skills, we are not only contributing to the region’s economic growth but also inspiring the next generation of construction professionals.

This accolade is a reflection of the passion and hard work of our team, who are deeply embedded within the communities they serve. We remain committed to delivering excellence, driving social value, and building a sustainable future for Scotland.”
