Angela Currell, a Senior Buyer from Saint-Gobain Delegation joined colleagues to visit a local school in Rugby. 

Angela said, ‘When you’re at school, it’s so hard to know what jobs are out there when you haven’t yet been exposed to a professional work environment. I loved being able to get to know the students, share my knowledge with them and give a little back by sharing practical tips which I hope will help their career prospects. It’s great that Saint-Gobain has these partnerships and actively encourages employees to get involved, so that we can play a part in helping young people with their professional skills.”

In addition to creating jobs in local communities, and taking part in community activities, many of our businesses are active supporters of local charities and voluntary organisations.

Volunteers of our British Gypsum site at Fauld got involved with Staffordshire Wildlife Trust recently to cut down Oak and Silver Birch saplings which if left to grow would transform the rare heathland into forest!

Pictured here, colleagues from across the business took over the running of a Barnardos Charity Store for the day to try to increase their sales and raise even more funds to help young care leavers.
