WJ adds 70,000 new employees 🐝 Last year our group sustainability director, Paul Aldridge was giving a presentation in Wiltshire and got chatting with Paul Bollen FIHE from Wiltshire Council about the importance of pollination in the ecosystem and the decline of pollinators. 84% of food crops rely on wild pollinators such as bees which are vital to our lives. So we're pleased to share that WJ is now the proud sponsor of a hive at Potterne Honey, a local beekeeper in Wiltshire. Check out some of the new members of our buzz division below ( Any bee-related puns welcome in the comments) 👇 #SocialValue #Sustainability #ThinkingCommunity

When it comes to car parks, warehouses, airports, or any other off-highway line marking, there's no single material that suits every project's unique traffic, substrate, or budget. This is why our recent training day for commercial and off-highway teams was so important. We explored the various solutions available to our clients while also refreshing Broadstreet Rugby Club's car park. Trialling new products is key to providing the best quality advice and solutions to our clients. It was great to get our nationwide team together face-to-face to share their knowledge and experience.
