Hankinson – Bringing back community spirit

Social Value & Customer Care are core focuses for the Hankinson Group and they always look to engage with residents where they can and look to give back to the local communities they are working in. When they win a contract one of their first thoughts is to look to give back, they always look to provide local work experience, apprenticeships, community initiatives or volunteer operatives to local causes- which they express as high importance.
