Stephen adds : “ Value alignment solidifies engagement in the workplace . It ’ s important that everyone understands the impact their role can have on the final product . We ’ re not just helping to create a house , it ’ s a home . Sometimes ESG can be approached in isolation , but at Hemsec , it ’ s really ingrained into the culture and our values are reflected in our actions . We ’ re taking a long-term view and championing sustainability as standard in construction .
“ We ’ re not trying to change the world on our own ,” Stephen adds . “ We ’ re all about collaboration . We ’ re very good at what we do , but we want to extend our reach and have an impact on UK housing , particularly so , considering the current shortage . We have a product and a methodology that can be leveraged to build more affordable housing in this country , and specifically so , around the Liverpool City region , because that ’ s where we ’ re based . We ’ ll bend and mold to make that happen , because we want to be part of the solution .
“ 2024 is about how we broaden our reach . We ’ re talking to housing associations and decision makers , trying to cement alliances , collaborations and partnerships . While our process falls under modern methods of construction , it is not a new method , we ’ ve been operating for nearly 100 years and developing this product for over 15 . We ’ re championing change and greater uptake , and the tide is turning . We believe in ourselves , and we believe in the product ,” Stephen concludes . “ We ’ re just growing our network . The next ten-to-20 years are about how we facilitate more houses being built in more modern ways , with an emphasis on developing more sustainable products .”
“ By increasing innovation in the construction sector ,” adds Stephen , “ the UK can position itself as a leader on the global stage . We ’ re aware of homelessness statistics and we have a solution to bring to the table to address this shortfall . It is a tried and tested method that can make a positive change for the future .” ■
