On Friday, we said our final goodbye to our dear colleague, Johnny Rob.

Following a short illness, John passed away peacefully on the 11th of June 2026, surrounded by his family and some of his colleagues from New Approach.

Formally known as John Robinson, John was great character and a true grafter, where, when or what. It didn’t matter. He would always show and crack on.

He was a valued member of the New Approach team and someone we were proud to call both a colleague and a friend. People like John are hard to come by and it’s a great credit to him.

Everyone who had the privilege of working alongside him will remember his dedication, reliability and sense of humor.

John will be sorely missed by all of us at New Approach.

Our thoughts remain with John’s family and loved ones during this difficult time.

Rest in peace John.

Charity fundraiser 2024!

Wow what a great day had by all, some great golf on the day was played (but also some bandits) haha!

Between ourselves and Woodwright Construction we would like to say a big thank you to everyone that attended, sponsored, and that have been part of our Charity Golf Day for Teddies For Loving Care.

We could not have done this without all you guys, the support from local businesses to individuals & also The Ridge Golf club for letting us use their venue who also went above & beyond to help our day run smoothly.

A big well done to the winning team SRB Contractors.

With an incredible £6000.00 plus raised with your generosity… Thank you to everyone who took part and contributed to this worthy cause.

Thank you again and hope to see you again next year.
