Based just outside the village of Aylesham (between Canterbury and Dover), Goody Demolition are an important local employer and focus on providing social value to our local community, as well
With a team of around 75 largely from within a 20-mile radius of our site, we consider ourselves an important local employer and take our responsibility as such very seriously. We invest heavily in training, running continuous improvement programmes for our staff. We ensure the wellbeing of all staff, many longstanding, through occupational health and safety measures and mental health awareness programmes.
Wanting to provide opportunities for our local community, we have run a successful apprenticeship scheme for over five years. During this time, we have supported four site apprentices and one IT assistant as well as our current Motor Mechanic apprentice. We are committed to equality of opportunity and throughout all our recruitment and employment, select the right person for the job based on their merit.
With climate change an ever-present factor, embedding sustainability into all aspects of our business is hugely important. We take significant steps to reduce our carbon emissions and environmental impacts, and those of our clients’ projects, including by running a fleet of hybrid and electric vehicles, installing solar panels at our Head Office, prioritising reuse of client materials through reclamation, and by making sustainable procurement decisions. As a member of the Supply Chain Sustainability School (Silver Level accreditation, working towards Gold), we are looking at how we can use environmental improvements such as replacing diesel power generators with solar or biomass powered ones to create less fumes and less noise.
We recognise the impacts our operations can have on surrounding businesses, neighbours and the general public, and are a considerate contractor. We work to reduce noise, dust, pollution and vibrations wherever we can and are meticulous about adhering to working hour restrictions.
We are currently driving to have all contracts of size registered with the Considerate Contractors Scheme to demonstrate our commitment to minimising complaints and maximising liaison with those who might be impacted by our work.
