Making a difference
Fortem are not only about the bricks and mortar, they pride themselves on transforming the lives and the communities where they work.
They work to improve local communities on a daily basis, from community projects and protecting the environment to creating employment and supporting local businesses.
Through their many social value projects, Fortem helps communities in a number of different ways other than just their repairs and maintenance service.
Some of the ways Fortem have helped communities previously include:
Fortem have two smart4life digivans which provide FREE WI-FI, helping to close the digital ability gaps.
Last year Fortem provided around 16,000 hours of work experience for local school children.
On each contract that Fortem manages over 80% of their spend goes back in to the local area.
10.4% of all of Fortem’s employees are management trainees or apprentices
Fortem were the first company in the UK to achieve the Carbon Trust Standard.
Last year Fortem invested £1.4m in local charities and communities.
Throughout the life of the Repair & Mantain contract, Fortem will be working closely with both organisations to develop further ways in which they can work closely across the communities where we both have homes.
