B&M in the Sunday Times!
Brook and Mayo has reached a new national level of media coverage!
John Stopper, Business Development Manager said: “We contributed to an article in the Sunday Times Business Section on Sunday 13th January. We were asked to comment on the ongoing issue of duplication and bureaucracy in respect of Health & Safety in the Construction Industry. We are all waiting for further moves from the Government to simplify the paper trail and reduce the demand for so many approval schemes. Brook & Mayo is approved by Constructionline, CHAS and Safecontractor as well as holding registration with RESET. Come on folks, surely that’s enough! ”
Simon Beardsley, Chief Executive at the Lincolnshire Chamber of Commerce, said: “I’d like to thank John Stopper and his team at Brook and Mayo for supporting the proactive marketing that the Lincolnshire Chamber is doing with the national media to raise the profile of the county. “John was invited to contribute to a national businesses story being written by The Sunday Times. From experience, I know that journalists, especially on national publications, seek out the most credible businesses to enhance their stories. And they could not have found a better candidate than John or Brook and Mayo.”

Brook and Mayo goes Enviro-Mental!
Brook and Mayo’s company colours have always been green but now we have decided to take it a step further and live up to our branding and GO GREEN. We have now pledged with Sustain Lincolnshire and Peterborough Environmental City Trust to become an environmentally friendly company. We are working towards achieving the Investors in the Environment ‘Green accreditation’.
In order to achieve the accreditation we will have to show a reduction in our energy usage over a period of two years as well as write a full action plan on how we will continue to reduce our impact on the environment. This is a huge undertaking for Brook and Mayo, but we feel it is an important one as pressure to be environmentally friendly is ever increasing on companies and we want to do it!
Brook and Mayo also pledges to take part in Zero waste week in November and staff are doing volunteer work to help the rainforests in their spare time. Committed? We should be!
