This week is Mental Health Awareness week and the theme for this year is loneliness.

Loneliness affects many of us at one time or another. We know that loneliness can be both the driver for, and a product of mental health.

Here are some strategies that you may find useful in coping with loneliness:

1) Try to do some enjoyable things that will keep you busy.

2) Try to do things that stimulate your mind.

3) Think about doing a physical activity.

4) Try to engage with the people you meet in your daily life.

5) Find people that ‘get you’.

6) Spend time with pets.

7) Try to use social media in a positive way.

Talking therapies can help.

We are here to support you at ALL times at Oakfield and a reminder that Oakfield Construction’s Mental Health First Aider is Lottie Atkinson!

A huge well done to both Daniel Robinson and Mick Richards at the IQ Student Accommodation site for winning the Health and Safety awards in January and February. Both have been given a £50 voucher to spend in a shop of their own choice by Galliford Try.

Great work! 🙌🏻

A HUGE congratulations to our very good friend Marcellus Baz BEM, who has been granted an Honorary Doctorate in Public Administration from the Nottingham Trent University.

We have worked alongside Baz and Switch Up Nottingham for some time now and it is great to see Baz recognised for all his hard work, dedication and commitment to our community through the hard times.

A great achievement and hugely well deserved ❤️🙏🏽

Take a bow Leigh Wood

Our sponsee Leigh Wood defended his World Title in what was an AMAZING fight on Saturday night, against Michael Conlan, at the Motorpoint Arena. What a night and what a fight!

A GREAT night for Nottingham And hats off to Michael Conlan who put in a great fight!

Today we are celebrating #InternationalWomensDay2022, to highlight all the women that form our great team at Oakfield Construction and celebrating women all over the world!

Historically, a male-dominated sector, we are pleased to see positive and continuous changes within the construction sector, meaning women have equal opportunities when it comes to working in the industry #Breakingthebias.

After a successful concrete job from our 8 wheeler tipper deliveries, we have been able to crush and create the highest quality, 6F2, RT1, 75mm clean and 5mm dust.

All materials are able to be collected from our Recycling Yard at Wigwam Lane, Hucknall or delivered to wherever required (East Midlands).

Please contact 0115 963 3569 for more information.

Proud to take delivery of TWO new Hitachi ZX130-7’s.

Works at the new Wilford Lane Retail Park are COMPLETE!

The new development is home to a brand new Lidl, Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, Pure Gym and much more! The new area is said to bring investment, employment opportunities and an improved retail choice to the local area.

Oakfield completed the groundworks on the site for main contractors Jessops Construction. The new development is an excellent achievement for Jessops construction and all other subcontractors involved in the works!

Project progress at the new IQ Student Accomodation, Lower Parliament Street for Galliford Try.

We are preparing the drainage services, steel reinforcement and formwork to receive concrete at the end of next week.

Well done to the guys down there for putting in the extra long shifts to get the job done!

It’s great to see how our generous donations have impacted families across the East Midlands – spreading Christmas joy!

It is amazing to see what our partners over at Switch Up are doing to help vulnerable families at this time of the year!
