Tea Party and Garden Makeover

Several residents at Edward Court, Accrington enjoyed a summer tea party while their gardens were cleaned courtesy of Bramall and Hyndburn Homes. The tea party and garden makeover had been organised to celebrate the end of the renovations, which involved installing new kitchens, bathrooms and central heating systems for almost 40 households.

Terry Hannon, Site Manager explained why the company is so proud of its local employment record. He said: "Bramall is well above the national average in terms of providing jobs for local people and we are really pleased to have so many people from the local community working on this scheme. At Bramall we understand that our work impacts directly on people's everyday lives and our employees often end up working in an area that they know very well, alongside people they count as friends and neighbours- that's a really positive situation for any company."

Susan Haworth from Hyndburn Homes added: "Even though the end result is worth it - having your house totally renovated can be quite an upheaval, especially for older residents. That's why it's nice to have the chance to celebrate in such a positive way."
