Our values

Quality isn’t something inspected into a project at the end.

It starts with specification and preparation and continues through setting out, installation, detailing and final quality assurance. We believe in getting the details right—including the ones that won’t be visible once the project is complete.

Our business is built around people: our employees, apprentices, clients, suppliers, subcontractors and the people who ultimately use the buildings in which we work.

We believe in developing our own people and creating opportunities to build long-term careers within flooring and construction.

Construction programmes change and challenges arise. How those situations are communicated and managed makes the difference.

We believe in being accessible, straightforward and proactive, working collaboratively with clients, principal contractors and site teams throughout project delivery.

We take our responsibilities to health and safety, quality, our clients and the environment seriously.

That means maintaining robust management systems, working safely, reducing waste where possible and taking responsibility for the package we’re employed to deliver.

Derwent has continued to evolve, and we’re not interested in standing still.

We invest in our people, training, systems, manufacturer relationships and working practices to continually improve the way we deliver projects and build a stronger business for the future.
