Concept Building Services (Southern) Limited are delighted to announce that we have become a Local Partner of Crystal Palace Football Club hashtag#cpfc.

Formed in 1861, Palace were founding members of both the Football Association and the FA Cup and the new season will mark the club’s 12th consecutive season in the Premier League.

Concept Building Services (Southern) Limited are the First CPFC Local Partner to make a donation towards the Academy, which will include career advice and opportunities for the academy players as well as offering support to the Club and their associated Charities.

Our goal is to offer students from the Academy opportunities to learn about our industry, with advice, mentoring, apprenticeships and industry life skills while they continue at the Academy and also for those who may need to continue with a football and work balance.

Ian Dixon will be Concept’s CPFC key contact and will be posting further details as this exciting opportunity develops and on how we intend to deliver this with CPFC and the Academy. If you would like more information on the above, apprenticeship opportunities or more about Concept Building Services (Southern) Limited as a business then please contact Ian at communications@conceptbld.co.uk

Concept Building Services are committed to helping the environment in which we live, and this commitment is shown by receiving gold status from the Supply Chain Sustainability School.

To earn this award, we have shown the following;

• Offices – initiatives have been implemented in all offices to promote conscious energy usage. This has been achieved through toolbox talks to educate employees and signage to raise awareness. The progress is monitored during quarterly office audits, where any actions are addressed, and appropriate improvements are made.
• Sites – audit documents have been amended to include on-site energy usage, promoting discussions with site teams and contractors surrounding energy consumption issues.
• Vehicles – promotion of car sharing and the use of public transport where applicable.
• Materials – encouragement of using local suppliers and ensuring accurate orders are placed to avoid unnecessary waste. Additionally, clients are encouraged to consider sustainable material resourcing and more environmentally friendly options such as LED lighting and solar panels.
• Waste – ensuring waste is appropriately segregated by waste stream to enable correct disposal and recycling. We are proud to have a 98% recycle rate on our waste last year.

Concept continually works within the community to help young people reach their goals (no pun intended) and we have recently been sponsoring aspirational football stars of the future by providing new kit for their teams.

During the last few months we have sponsored players and teams across the country, from Dunfermline in Scotland, down to the West Country and in the South East.

Following the sad passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, a meticulously planned operation codenamed ‘London Bridge’ was rolled into action and what followed was the largest state funeral since the death of Queen Victoria.

The entire event was flawlessly executed and viewed by billions of people across the world.

The Duke of Norfolk (the chief organiser of the operation) recently issued a letter of thanks to all those involved of which Concept also received. Concept were proud to assist our partners in delivering what was a monumental operation of considerable scale and importance, and one which involved thousands of people across multiple sectors.
