Corporate Social Responsibility
As part of our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility we use modern methods of construction wherever possible so that our construction activities have the least effect on the proximity of the area. It also extends to our staff by giving added value to their employment and also to the local communities where we work, as well as neighbouring occupants.
"On behalf of the Bonsall & Derbyshire Dales Link of Chernobyl Children Life Line, I would like to thank Tomlinson's very much once again for sponsoring our charity. As a volunteer children's charity group, we would find it very difficult to be able to keep going with our work without the support of companies like yours." Chris Broome, Chernobyl Children Life Line Charity
"I am writing to inform you that I have found Tomlinson's to have been thoughtful and have worked hard to ensure that the large construction project being undertaken has had little impact as possible on the day to day running of the school."
