"We've found that by looking after our people and acknowledging their contribution, we create highly motivated teams that deliver the highest standards of workmanship and customer service. By looking after customers, we build long-term and mutually beneficial relationships."

STG is an accredited Investor In People and in 2007 we received further recognition for our excellent teamwork when were named as one of The Sunday Times 'Top 100 Best Small Companies To Work For' as voted for by our own employees.

Recruitment and retention

"We strive to have the best 'people strategy' to meet our objective of becoming An Employer of Choice".

Farmida Ishaq, HR manager

The recruitment and retention of high-quality people is vital to our business. It is also key to our future success that we demonstrate our commitment to our Equal Opportunities and our Local Labour policies in order to attract a diversity of people from all sections of the community. From our West Yorkshire head office we have links with the CITB, Youthbuild, Henry Boot Training, Build (Pathway into Construction - Kirklees), Leeds College of Building, Barnsley College, Sheffield College and Bradford College to make employment opportunities available.

We carry out regular presentations to schools and colleges to introduce and encourage young students setting out on a career to consider the construction industry as an option and to understand the long-term benefits of working with an employer who genuinely cares about their future.

We are recognised for providing some of the best terms and conditions of employment in the industry which is reflected in the recruitment and retention of the right people to meet our growth plan.

Training and development

We provide an excellent range of training and development opportunities at every level of the business. We provide rigourous Health and Safety training to every member of the team, with courses to deal with some of the more specialist areas of our operations.

We look forward to the future, confident that each and every team member has the drive, determination and enthusiasm to take our business forward. And to reward our team for their dedication, we will continue to provide the best remuneration, benefits and career opportunities.

And it's not all hard work

Our team-building activities don't stop at the office. Out of hours social events have always played a central role with a huge array of activities ranging from rock climbing and white water rafting to murder mystery weekends as well as the occasional day at the races. More exciting events are planned for the future!
