Employee Handbook

Welcome from Michael Conway MBE - Chairman

Dear Colleague,

I am delighted to welcome you to the FM Conway family. We are a business with strong family values that places our people at the heart of what we do and treats everybody with care, integrity and respect, expecting them to do the same. With Excellence as one of our core values, I ask that you bring this approach with you to work every day to help us excel and continue delivering for our customers, who we ultimately serve. As part of our family it is essential that you commit to our ‘People First’ safety agenda, ensuring that everyone goes home safe and well each day. The health, safety and wellbeing of our people is our priority, and we expect this to be your priority too. Our 10-year strategy, the Big Ten in 10, has been put into place to eliminate the biggest risks facing our business. Since 1961 we have evolved from a small family-run business into the self-delivery construction giant we are today. We have achieved all this by adapting to the ever-changing landscape in our industry, with our people being very much the driving force behind this positive change. I encourage you to have a look back at our journey on our website to see the evidence of how this was made possible. You will understand more about what our self-delivery model means as you learn about FM Conway, but importantly for me, it is what helps us to build and maintain a sustainable business. For 60 years, we have made our name by working hard on our environmental commitments and ambitions. Thanks to our heavy investment in recycling infrastructure, we have placed ourselves at the forefront of recycling in the construction industry and have won many awards in recognition of our hard work. Sustainability though is not just about the environment; it is reliant on people, every kind of people, and as part of the family you will now play your part in our sustainable future. Our Sustainability Strategy which we launched in 2020 outlines our commitments and targets; we aligned our ambitions to those of the United Nations Sustainability Development goals, focusing on the eight where we believe that we can deliver the greatest possible impact. As part of this strategy we have also committed to achieving carbon net zero by 2045 which is five years ahead of the Government’s own target.

“

The story of our company is already a remarkable journey. But that journey is only just at the beginning and you are all a part of it.

Michael Conway MBE

I wish you well in your role and I look forward to meeting with you in the coming months – welcome once again to the FM Conway family!
