Introduce Yourself

We are a strong business that has overcome many challenges during our 85-year history. During this time there have been fewer challenges to our business and way of life of the magnitude of Covid-19. We at Jehu pride ourselves on our ability to adapt to change and solve problems through determination and resilience. Our financial year 2020/21 has just started and we enter the year with a very strong contracting order book, with long established clients with whom we have enjoyed long and trusting relationships. We will come through these unprecedented challenges and emerge from it ready and able to thrive again.

We are doing everything we can to ensure we keep building and delivering for our customers, while following the very latest Government advice. We monitor the daily UK Government and industry updates and are responding immediately to any changes needed.

Following the Prime Minister’s statement on 23^rd March, we responded immediately by ensuring most of our office-based people now work from home or are on furlough as part of the Government’s Job Retention Scheme.

The Government made it clear for our industry that construction and manufacturing are two key sectors that must continue working, a point emphasised by Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick who said on Twitter, ‘If you can work from home, do so. If you are working on site, you can continue to do so. But follow Public Health England guidance on social distancing’. The point about construction remaining open for business was further reinforced on BBC1 Breakfast News by Minister for the Cabinet Office Michael Gove. Jehu Group remains very much open for business.

For any of our clients, supply chain and people within Jehu Group who are uncertain of what the Government is asking of us as an industry, please see the letter below received from the Secretary of State paying tribute “…to all those who are working tirelessly within the construction industry.” The highlighted sections are an unambiguous call for help and support from our industry.

The safety of people on our sites is our number one priority. All projects must adhere to the Construction Leadership Council’s Site Operating Procedures to ensure social distancing requirements are met and minimise the risk of spread of infection.

The need to observe social distancing requires cooperation and understanding, and our teams are working closely with supply chain partners and others who work on our sites to ensure we continue to operate in a safe environment. We are very grateful for the engagement and commitment by everyone adapting to the Site Operating Procedures.

We want to support the Government and our customers for as long as possible. We will continue to review our operations daily to ensure this can be done safely. If activity on site needs to temporarily reduce or pause to enable time for that collaboration and implementation, our teams are instructed and empowered to take that step.

Jehu Group are focused on following the Government guidelines and legislation in taking all necessary measures to combat Covid-19. We urge the construction sector to work with us to take up the “call to action” and support the national effort to support the UK economy.
