“ We are also working on the Learning Disability and Autism Unit at Blackberry Hill in Bristol . It ’ s currently scheduled to open in 2025 , for Willmott Dixon Construction . Another of our current projects is one of our largest to date . We ’ re working with Bouygues , on a £ 13 million project in Newport . Our work includes earthworks , foundations , drainage systems , and a complex ducting scheme , among other services .”
“ We are currently working on Project COMET , which stands for Computing , Maths , Engineering , and Technology . The construction element is being completed in partnership with BAM Construction , who in turn are working with the University of South Wales . The project itself is worth £ 2.25 million to us alone . We are completing the reduced level excavation , piling mat , foundations , and drainage .
Sustainable approach
As a waste management business , Smiths prioritises sustainability in everything that it does . “ Sustainability has always been important to us . We ensure that we deal with all waste materials responsibly . Most of our waste is recycled or converted from waste to energy . For us , waste is not an end product , it can have many lives beyond us . Our job is to put in the effort and build a sustainable future with the work we do . We also try to maximise the use of recycled aggregates on our projects - we have a crushing and screening facility at our main waste management unit , and so a lot of the material processed there can be reused on later projects ,” Rebecca reveals .
This sustainable approach provides Smiths with the foundation it needs to secure longterm success . As Rebecca concludes : “ In five years ’ time , I ’ d like to see the business continuing its current growth trajectory . I want to protect our people ; by ensuring they have reliable employment for many years to come . I would also like to command a greater market share in the coming years , both through strategic acquisitions and the expansion of our service offering . Ultimately , I hope to continue providing top quality service to our customers by upholding our company values of hard work , family , honesty , sustainability , and reliability .” ■
