Social value in action
For us, social value is something everyone can create. Whatever the size of team or project. We're keen to diversify our supply chain and to work with more local organisations.
Highways Apprenticeships.
As part of the contract award agreement, Highways contractors who undertake work for Manchester City Council agree to a number of deliverables including a commitment to hiring apprentices, with the aim of getting young people into employment in the construction industry.
One of our contractors, Rosgal, recently took on Erin Breheny as an apprentice. Listen to what Erin thinks about the scheme, and why she chose to take this route rather than go into higher education or full-time employment.

Co-op Academy New Islington
AE Yates Supports Manchester's Local Community. They are committed to giving back to the neighbourhoods of Manchester. Recently, they visited Year 5 students at Co-op Academy New Islington to share their passion for construction.
During the visit, students participated in fun activities, including:
- Bridge Building with Lego: Kids learned about design and engineering while creating their own bridges.
- Digger Simulation: Students got to experience driving a digger using a realistic motion simulator.
AE Yates believes in inspiring the next generation and fostering a love for construction in the community.
