Variety and opportunity in every project

The breadth of our projects always offer an exciting variety of experiences. From large-scale developments to specialist initiatives, our team has the opportunity to explore their passions and contribute to diverse sectors. This year, more of our colleagues are taking on roles as Sustainability Champions, BIM Champions or Wellbeing Champions, extending their impact far beyond their core responsibilities. 

Inspiring future employment paths at Careers Fairs

Career events provided a wonderful opportunity for our team to connect with young minds and demonstrates our commitment to supporting the future generation of professionals in our field. Engaging directly with people about their career aspirations allows us to fully understand their needs and provide guidance on graduate schemes and apprentiships.

Making a positive social impact

We are committed to contributing meaningfully to social, economic, and environmental issues through our work and partnerships. We champion equal access to education, promote inclusive and accessible communities, and support initiatives that enhance health and wellbeing. By assisting disadvantaged groups and supporting community projects, we ensure that our actions leave a lasting, positive impact.

We believe in celebrating the achievements and successes of our people. Whether it's a milestone reached, a project completed, or going above and beyond in their role, we love the opportunity to show appreciation and recognition.

Supporting health and wellbeing

The little things often make the biggest difference. This year, we embraced fun and connection, with everything from bake-offs and pub quizzes to fundraising events. These shared experiences have brought us together, reminding us of the social culture that makes AHR a place we’re proud of.

To everyone at AHR

Thank you for your dedication, creativity and passion and we can’t wait to see what we achieve together in the year ahead.
