We’re proud to give back to our local community!

Tamdown recently supported a local school by preparing the ground for their exciting new play area. Our team levelled the area and installed membrane, bark, and sleepers—creating the perfect foundation for the school to complete the play equipment installation.

A huge thank you to Marcus Jones and Mick Rolph for their hard work in making this happen. The finished result looks fantastic and will provide a great space for the children to enjoy!

The school have expressed their gratitude for the support, and it’s brilliant to hear that the children are already enjoying their new play area.

🌳Roots for Foundations🌳

Back in January 2022 we launched our ‘Roots for Foundations’ tree planting campaign, which sponsors the planting of a tree for every foundation that we complete.

In FY25 we sponsored the planting of an impressive 834 trees, meaning from October 2024- September 2025 we completed 834 foundations.

The total number of trees we have sponsored since starting the campaign has reached 4,390!

Through our partnership with ‘The Future Forest Company’ our trees are helping to restore and regenerate the native woodland at Dumyat, Stirling in Scotland.

Reducing emissions is only part of the journey—removing CO₂ from our atmosphere is equally crucial. Through our tree-planting initiative, we’re helping restore balance and making a measurable difference to global CO₂ levels.

At Tamdown, we are proud to share our Occupational Health Programme, which has positively benefitted our Teams for years and given everyone involved an insight to their health, by checking many different factors such as…

🩺BMI

🩺Hand Arm Vibration

🩺Blood Pressure, Glucose and Cholesterol

🩺Vision and Hearing Tests

🩺As well as a range of many other health related checks

We offer this across our entire business to all site and office employees. As we believe that whether you are on site or in the office, everyone deserves the same access level of support, care and wellbeing resources.

This programme has helped us with our continual commitment to create a safer and healthier environment for all working for or on behalf of Tamdown.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part. It is incredibly important to us that we care for our people. It isn’t just the right thing to do- it’s what drives us forward 💙

This month at Tamdown, we are taking part in Movember. Movember takes place every November and is a global campaign focused on raising awareness for men’s health issues, including:

• Prostate cancer
• Testicular cancer
• Mental Health and Suicide Prevention.

We believe that it is important to raise awareness for these topics amongst our workforce, as at Tamdown we care about everyone’s health and wellbeing- physical and mental. Our people are at the heart of everything we do.

Construction can be a tough environment at times, which is why we are dedicated to creating a culture where everyone feels supported, heard and able to speak openly.

It’s been fantastic to see our Rainham site steadily take shape over the past few months. Since breaking ground, the team has made great strides, and we’re proud to share some key milestones:

✅ Temporary site entrance and compound now in place
✅ Main entrance completed alongside the handover of the Sales Area
✅ Over 400 metres of infrastructure installed
✅ 27+ homes currently under construction
✅ Attenuation ponds completed and ready for landscaping

A huge thank you to everyone involved for your hard work and commitment. We’re excited to see this development continue to grow and evolve in the months ahead!

For those slightly smaller jobs we’ve just added to the fleet a full insulated, tarmac spec’d, Mitsubishi 7C15 tipper. The vehicle was carefully chosen due to its mixture of emissions (Euro VI emissions standards with SCR + DPF after-treatment), excellent payload, strong chassis and compact design, giving great manoeuvrability.

Throw into the mix a local dealer ‘RCM-Saga’, Witham and it was the obvious choice.

To ensure the driver always keeps within his legal payload and compliant, we’ve added the on-board axle load indicator from Axtec, a great piece of kit.

Towing functionality finishes the truck off, adding to the versatility of the truck, enabling us to complete small tarmac works and customer care offerings, efficiently and effectively.

Great to see the progress at our Rivenhall site on behalf of Bellway Essex.

Some amazing work by the team whilst being Principal Contractor. Now that we have installed the main infrastructure, customer compound and sales arena we move onto the individual parcels roads and earthworks.

We look forward to seeing this project progress over the next few months.

Thank you to the site team for all of the hard work so far.

The construction industry is one of the most vulnerable sectors to modern slavery in the UK. With complex supply chains and a high reliance on temporary labour, exploitation can be hidden in plain sight.

During Anti-Slavery Week this week, we have been raising awareness and taking action.

We have been educating ourselves and our teams to:-

* Spot the signs of exploitation
* Speak up and report concerns

We are committed to ethical practices across every level of our work.

Whether on-site or in the office, we all have a role to play in protecting vulnerable individuals and ensuring our industry is safe, fair, and just.
