Back to school isn't just for the kids.

As children across the country return to the classroom, perhaps it's a good time for the rest of us to think about what we'd like to learn, improve or do differently too.

Whether it's gaining a qualification, developing a new skill or simply getting better at something you already do, learning can take many forms. In our latest blog, we explore how small steps towards learning and continual improvement can support your personal and professional growth. Read the full blog below.

As children across the country head back to school this week, many adults will also be settling back into familiar routines after the summer. It might not mean buying a new pencil case or packing a school bag, but this time of year can still be a useful prompt to think about learning. What could

Project Focus: Sawyers Close, Windsor

Regenerating the former Sawyers Close estate, The Granges is a major new development creating more than 400 high-quality, affordable homes in Windsor.

Working with The Hill Group, Sheriff Construction is delivering an extensive roofing and waterproofing package across the scheme, bringing together multiple roofing systems and finishes within one coordinated project.

With works progressing throughout 2026, this has been a technically varied project for our roofing team and a great opportunity to demonstrate the breadth of solutions we can deliver on a single development.

Every construction project relies on a complex supply chain, and the choices we make when procuring materials and services can have environmental, social and economic impacts far beyond the project itself.

This short video from Shaun McCarthy, Director of Action Sustainability, provides a useful introduction to sustainable procurement and why it matters to our industry. At just 1 minute 40 seconds, it's well worth a watch.

At Sheriff, responsible procurement forms part of our wider sustainability approach. We're looking at how we can prioritise UK-based and local suppliers where possible, consider more sustainable material choices and work with businesses that demonstrate strong environmental, social and ethical practices.

There's always more we can do, but considering sustainability alongside the traditional priorities of cost, quality and performance is an important part of making better procurement decisions.

A new National Planning Policy Framework is here. But will it help get more homes built?

From a 'default yes' for development around well-connected stations to greater opportunities for smaller sites, the Government's latest planning reforms could have significant implications for housebuilding in England.

In our latest blog, we cut through some of the detail to explain what the NPPF is, highlight four key changes and consider whether they could help unlock more housing delivery.

From our portfolio: Eastwick Row, Hemel Hempstead

Creating more high-quality, affordable homes for the community, Eastwick Row is a new seven-storey development in Hemel Hempstead.

Working with Bugler, Sheriff Construction supported the final construction phase of this scheme, delivering the roofing package across 34 new one and two-bedroom apartments.

After weeks of exceptionally hot, dry weather, cooler temperatures may be on the way. But does that mean the fire risk has gone away?

With ground and vegetation still tinder dry in many areas, now is a good time for construction sites to take another look at their fire prevention measures.

In our latest blog, we highlight some of the most common fire risks on construction sites and five key areas that are especially worth reviewing following this prolonged spell of dry weather.

After weeks of hot, dry weather, recent wildfires across the UK have provided a stark reminder of just how quickly fire can take hold. And while temperatures may be starting to fall, large parts of England remain affected by drought, leaving ground and vegetation exceptionally dry. Construction s

Could you help NOAH Enterprise by sharing your skills?

Following a recent meeting with NOAH Enterprise, we learned more about the fantastic work they do to support disadvantaged people across Bedfordshire, helping individuals to move out of homelessness, develop essential skills and take steps towards a more positive future.

NOAH would like to introduce woodwork classes for the people they support – but they need someone with the right skills and experience to help make it happen. They're looking for a volunteer woodwork tutor who could give a few hours of their time each week. You might be a current tradesperson keen to share your knowledge, or perhaps you're retired and have skills and experience that could make a real difference to others.

Volunteers will need to complete NOAH's usual onboarding process, including the relevant checks, but this could be a hugely rewarding opportunity for the right person.

Could you help – or do you know someone who might be interested?

Contact NOAH on 01582 728416 or email [email protected] to find out more. Or, if you would like to have a chat about the role with someone, email your contact details to [email protected] and she’ll be in touch.

And, if you do get involved after seeing our post, please let us know – we'd love to hear about it!

Helping local children get ready for the new school year

This summer, Sheriff Construction is proud to be supporting The Level Trust, a local charity that helps children and young people across Luton overcome the barriers of poverty. Alongside making a company donation, we've launched a school uniform drive at our office and are collecting good-quality uniform items to help local families prepare for the new school year.

If your children have recently outgrown their school uniform, we'd love to give those items a second life by passing them on to The Level Trust. New uniform essentials are also very welcome. Simply bring your donations to our office at Runfold Avenue any time you’re passing by over the coming weeks. Every donation, no matter how big or small, can make a real difference to a child starting school with confidence.

We'll share an update later this summer to let you know how the collection went.
