We are excited to announce that, due to our continued growth and expansion plans, we have acquired a new headquarters. We were delighted when the building became available and jumped at the chance to make our mark.

The new office, which is a short drive from our previous base in Wildmoor, will allow us to grow the team further and enable us to better serve our customers.

Sophie Clarke, Caltec C.O.O., said: ”The expansion is an opportunity for us to build on our Core Values of Collaboration and Efficiency, as the office team will come together on one floor where they can increase collaboration, and the site team will have a better organised space to store equipment and materials so that works can be well planned ahead of time.”

As part of Bromsgrove business recycling month, which runs from 18th March (Global recycling day) until 22nd April (Earth Day), we are promoting our ongoing environmental initiatives designed to ensure we improve our carbon footprint.

The month-long campaign is the brainchild of Bromsgrove District Council’s Business Waste Team which is actively encouraging more businesses to sign up for recycling services.

Environmental initiatives

Our environmental management system is ISO 14001 certified, providing confidence that our operations are fully compliant with legislation, whilst minimising our impact on the environment.
To reduce the need for printing and support our goal of operating a paperless office, we have invested a lot of resources into new software implementation. We use project management software, Procore, to provide clients with detailed digital reports and real time information.
We have acquired our first electric vehicle. Investing in a cleaner fleet of powered vehicles is another route to enhancing our environmental strategy.
Other initiatives we have adopted, include: procuring materials from suppliers located within a short distance from each of our projects, all metal and cardboard from our sites and head office are being recycled and we refined our ordering process to stop overordering and reduce waste going to landfill.

With the construction, demolition and excavation (CDE) sectors generating around 119.4m tonnes of UK waste accounting for 62% in 2018, Sophie Clarke, C.O.O., Calztec, feels more can be done to significantly reduce the figure. “By introducing a range of environmental initiatives, we are not just playing our part, we are demonstrating to the rest of the industry what can be achieved when it comes to sustainability. This is only the start of our journey, and we are always looking for ways to reduce our carbon footprint.”
