Mind-blowing, isn’t it? At least, I think it is. I’ve always been fascinated by how things work, so the opportunity to work on my Cambridge University PhD at CERN, with some of the best particle physicists in the world, was a dream come true for me. But if it wasn’t for the bursary I received from Leeds Grammar School things would most likely have been very different for me. And that’s why I jumped at the chance to write this letter today and ask for your help. Will you give £50 to help fund bursaries at The Grammar School at Leeds and help pupils like me to reach their potential? Like you, I grew up in and around Leeds. I lived near Bramley with my mum, my brother and my late sister. We were a pretty normal working-class, single-parent family. I’d always assumed that after primary school I would go to the local comprehensive, so it came as a bit of a shock when my mum came in to my bedroom one day and said, “You have an exam tomorrow.” The Grammar School at Leeds There aren’t many 11-year-olds who like the idea of exams, but when she Alwoodley Gates explained what it meant in terms of opportunities, I was pretty happy to go Harrogate Road Leeds LS17 8GS along with it.

From humble beginnings undertaking small construction and civil engineering projects, we have grown steadily into a multi sector property development and construction business with a project pipeline of several billion pounds right across the UK. We have always remained a family business, and despite our growth, it’s still our people, their families and our communities that lie at the heart of everything we do. As we have grown over the years, we have been able to make an ever greater and more positive impact on people’s lives whether they be our own staff, our customers, occupiers, investors or the communities in which we deliver our projects. In recent years in particular we have been able to direct more structure and resources to our now very active CSR programme. For example, through the Leeds Rhinos Foundation and our charity partnerships we’ve done some amazing work and provided significant much needed financial support to a number of our partner charities. However, we’ve now achieved a scale which requires us to take a more strategic approach and this ESG report creates a strong platform on which to build and expand our strategies. We were presented with some truly unprecedented challenges during 2020, however our staff have responded magnificently and with great resilience to keep our business moving, construction sites open and projects on programme.
