We exist to help everyone live, learn and thrive in amazing spaces.
Our motivation and impact goes beyond projects. We are passionate about doing things that positively impact our people, our business, our clients and their customers and communities that we live and work in.
Social Value Report 2024
Our focus this year has been to create genuine pathways to encourage new routes to entry for our industry.
Since our foundation in 2008, we’ve always been interested in giving back and have done our best to do so, through:
K10 Apprenticeships
Launched as a social enterprise by our Chairman, Paul Ruddick, K10 are London’s largest construction-specific Apprenticeship Training Agency (ATA).
K10’s aim is to place our learners in sustainable employment within construction projects in their home boroughs. To do this, we collaborate with government, local referral organisations, local authorities, developers, contractors, sub-contractors, colleges and more, to deliver apprenticeship and traineeship programmes specifically designed to upskill London residents.
CRASH – Construction Industry’s Charity
CRASH has been the UK construction industry’s social impact partner for 25 years. CRASH unites the power of the industry to do good by channelling their professional expertise, construction products and fundraising to build places that care for the sick, vulnerable and homeless in the communities we work and live.
We have a longstanding relationship with CRASH going back 6 years. We have been supporting the charity with multiple construction projects, as well as fundraising over £100K through events like Meet Your Mountain, Ride London and the Dragon Boat Race.

We became Principal & Community partner to the Club in February 2022. As well as Reds10 being represented on the Club's kit, we are working closely together on our 'Breaking Down Barriers' campaign, which will see us inspire positive change in what are traditionally male-dominated industries - football and construction - through several exciting initiatives.
