Social Value Report 2021-2022

STEVE GRIFFIN, FM CONWAY OPERATIVE “I was worried whether people would know I was an inmate but everyone was so friendly and even Michael Conway would come up to me and ask how I was. It really made me feel good about myself, enjoy work and integrate into the company. “I didn’t think I would be able to get a mortgage but I have been saving and have a stable job so was able to buy a home. Now I have something to pass onto my children and they can stay with me – giving their mother some time to herself too.”

REACHING OUT TO EX-OFFENDERS

FM Conway supports the rehabilitation agenda by offering training and work experience opportunities to prisoners due for release and offering Release on Temporary Licence (ROTL) opportunities, enabling offenders to get a re-introduction to the world of work. Since 2008, we have been participating in prison programmes with great success, and some of our original recruits remain within the business as of 2022.
