Thinking Process
Think natural selection
We are always evolving, but with great products and certainty of delivery we’re already there.
Think of working with a specialist contractor who can offer a choice of solutions for facades and envelopes. Think of having the reassurance of a contractor that can offer a process-led professional approach at every step and combine this with proactive management of health & safety, as well as quality. Now think of having absolute confidence in the delivery of a successful project…
You’re thinking Marlborough.
Now, take a moment to find out why we say: marlborough: Think natural selection.
Think safety
Marlborough’s commitment to health & safety is an intrinsic part of our evolution as a company, of who we are and what we do. It is a natural result of our respect for the people who work for us and those we work for.
We believe that health & safety should be in everyone’s consciousness. So we operate an Employee H&S Consultation Team to ensure consultation and participation of staff at all levels. This means that we have commitment at every level in our company to the continuous improvement of H&S performance.
With a full-time H&S Manager, accreditation to BS OHSAS 18001, ongoing involvement with IOSH, a formal management system and promotion of a proactive H&S approach, we are proud of our testament to a qualified and professional approach.
Think quality
We recognise that your success in the construction industry depends on the best quality products and services. Just as evolution relies on natural selection, we evolve by taking forward only the highest quality products and aspects of our service.
Of course all clients want a quality product, it goes without saying, but at Marlborough we look to offer more than this. We take pride in our work, offering consistency in the quality of our products and services, and because we know how vital it is - in the certainty of delivery.
We have a ‘total quality’ approach in all aspects of our business and an unerring commitment to continuous improvement. With an integrated Business Management System accredited to ISO 9001, aiding us in planning and controlling our works, best value and best practice come as standard.
Think training and development
At Marlborough we recognise that our people are our company.
For us training and development are essential functions to support all our other business strategies, we simply cannot be the best we can or move forward without them.
They are a priority investment; we employ a qualified Training Manager and have our own dedicated Training Centre.
We are committed, not only to the future of our own company, but of the industry as a whole. This is why we support rolling Apprenticeship Schemes, Undergraduate Entry Schemes and company-funded qualifications. Because we think it’s important and because we want you to know about our excellence in this area, we also promote the continuous development of our people with CITB-approved Training Plans and recognition as Investors in People.
Think sustainability
Sustainability is at the heart of all we do. We take our corporate responsibility towards the industry and environment seriously. If we didn’t, we believe we wouldn’t deserve to thrive, develop and evolve as we do.
All our business strategies, from our controlled quality systems and safety performance through to our environmental targets and initiatives, have sustainability at their centre.
Marlborough also dedicates resources to anticipating and catering to future trends, to help ensure a sustainable business and industry. At our Product Development Centre we trial and risk assess new materials and methods, and our research and development activities have taken us abroad to learn from our European counterparts. We dedicate time to thinking ahead, to preserving worthy traditional methods and taking on the best of modern developments.
