On the tenth day of VB, we’re sharing some festive cheer! Last week, we celebrated the season in style at our Christmas Gala in Edinburgh—what a fantastic night it was! Meanwhile, our Infrastructure team got into the holiday spirit with Christmas Jumper Day, where Adam Szwedowski won the prize for the best jumper, and Jonny Cunningham and Kate Harvey showed off their knowledge by winning the Christmas quiz! Here’s to ending the year with joy, laughter, and a little friendly competition. #12DaysOfVB #FestiveSeason #ChristmasFun #VeneskyBrown

On the ninth day of VB, we’re celebrating training and development! At Venesky Brown, we believe that investing in our people is the foundation of our success. By providing our employees and workforce with opportunities to learn, grow, and develop, we not only strengthen our team but also ensure we continue delivering excellence to our clients and projects. A standout highlight this year has been on one of our major projects where we delivered 47 upskills in 2024 and currently have 11 apprentices on-site. Training and development remain key priorities for us, from enhancing workforce capabilities to supporting apprenticeships that shape the future of our industry. #12DaysOfVB #Training #Development #VeneskyBrown

On the eighth day of VB, we are focusing on mental health. This year, Venesky Brown has proudly embraced our role as a partner of Mates in Mind, accessing resources, training, and support to enhance our workplace mental health programme. Our end-of-year focus has been the successful rollout of the "Start the Conversation" training, tailored for our construction workforce. This initiative has empowered our teams to create a more supportive environment and has already received fantastic feedback. Looking ahead, we’ll continue building on this progress with activities like annual assessments to refine our approach. Additionally, tailored courses for our management team will ensure they’re equipped to support employee mental health effectively. Together, we’re creating a workplace where wellbeing is a priority. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue this vital journey! #12DaysOfVB #MentalHealthMatters #WorkplaceWellbeing #StartTheConversation

On the seventh day of VB, we’re celebrating our commitment to social value. At Venesky Brown, we believe in giving back to the communities we serve. Each of our employees dedicates at least 15 hours every year to volunteering or social initiatives—totalling over 1,000 hours in 2024! This year, we’ve taken on incredible challenges like firewalks and skydives, raising funds for amazing charities and making a positive impact along the way. Recently, we donated £1,500 worth of toys to various charities and children’s homes in the communities we work in. Additionally, we contributed £4,000 to Social Bite, helping to provide 800 Christmas dinners for those in need. We’re so proud of our team’s dedication to making a difference, and we can’t wait to continue our efforts in 2025! #12DaysOfVB #SocialValue #CommunityImpact #VeneskyBrown

When it comes to public sector recruitment, ensuring candidates meet the highest security standards is crucial. At Venesky Brown, we utilise Disclosure Scotland checks to onboard our candidates and support our clients' safeguarding needs. But what exactly is a Disclosure Scotland check, and why does it matter? ✅ A government check that provides information about a candidate’s criminal record to assess their suitability for specific roles. ✅ From Basic Disclosures to PVG checks, each level of vetting serves a unique purpose for different roles and industries. ✅ Having a conviction doesn’t automatically disqualify candidates. Employers consider the nature and relevance of the conviction, often conducting risk assessments to make informed decisions. At Venesky Brown, we’re proud to be registered countersignatories with Disclosure Scotland, allowing us to streamline the application process for our candidates and support them every step of the way.
