On Wednesday we had the pleasure of attending the East and North Herts Staff Awards — a truly inspiring evening celebrating the dedication and impact of NHS staff across the region. Carmelcrest was proud to sponsor the event and support the incredible individuals who go above and beyond every day. A particular highlight for us was being part of the team — alongside AHP Architects & Surveyors Ltd and Greenwood Projects that received the Chair and Chief Executive’s Award for our contributions to projects accross the estate. It was great to see our team’s hard work recognised in such a meaningful way. A huge thank you to #EastandNorthHertfordshireNHSTrust for hosting a fantastic evening, with special thanks to Eloise Huddleston for organising! #NHS #StaffAwards #Carmelcrest #Construction #Collaboration #Teamwork #EastAndNorthHerts #ProudSponsor #HealthcareConstruction #timetoshine

Mud, Sweat and some well deserved beers! This weekend our team undertook the Nuclear Run, crawling through mud pits and hurdling over obstacles with the same determination, grit and teamwork we bring to every project. It was a fantastic day, even though we're still aching! #teamwork #construction #lovemud #refurbishment #challenge #CompanyCulture #WorkHardPlayHard #ConstructionLife
