The Construction Inclusion Coalition (CIC) has welcomed bathroom and kitchen products manufacturer, Norcros, to the coalition as a Strategic Partner.
Norcros, which employs 2,400 people, joins companies including The Bristan Group, Huws Gray, The BMF, Travis Perkins, and Ibstock as a strategic partner of the more than 40 strong coalition.
The manufacturer, which has a turnover of £360million and owns key bathroom and kitchens product brands in the UK including Triton, Merlyn and Grant Westfield, has already undertaken a range of companywide initiatives to foster a diverse and inclusive workplace, including the establishing of a Women’s Leadership Forum as part of their commitment to give a stronger voice to females across the business.
As part of this continuing work Norcros has joined the CIC and is taking on the Built on Better pledge which amongst other activity will see the group benchmark and measure their progress towards improving inclusion across its businesses.
Helene Roberts, managing director of Norcros plc in UK and Ireland said “Norcros is delighted to join the Construction Inclusion Coalition. Inclusion isn’t just a buzzword, it’s a shared responsibility across our business and our sector. We’re proud of the progress we’ve made, but we know there’s more to learn, and lasting change takes collective effort. By working and learning together, we can build momentum and create environments where everyone feels valued, supported and truly has the opportunity to be someone.”
The CIC is urging businesses across the construction industry to join the Construction Inclusion Coalition and take the Built on Better pledge.
