Everyone has a voice

We listen, encourage openness and value different perspectives to build stronger teams, better ideas and inclusive outcomes.

Bring better to life

By exploring ideas and working collaboratively, we deliver better outcomes for our customers, our people and our communities.

Do the right thing

We act with integrity: legally, morally and ethically. We prioritise safety and sustainability, taking responsibility to improve or protect what matters.

We take pride in the quality and care we bring to everything we do, recognising the impact our contributions make. We take ownership, pay attention to detail and celebrate work well done.

A trusted construction and engineering partner; locally focused, nationally strong; chosen for our commitment to customer needs.

Better Together is the name for all of our diversity and inclusion initiatives across Tilbury Douglas.

Being better together means our differences are valued and celebrated and our workplaces are free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination.

Being inclusive means we all feel comfortable sharing our ideas and perspectives, because our differences are respected and valued. Everyone has a voice, and everyone will be heard. Every employee feels safe, accepted, and appreciated with an equal opportunity to grow and succeed at Tilbury Douglas.

We have four Better Together employee networks:

‘Multicultured’ is about making a positive difference in our workplace and creating a culture that promotes, values and celebrates diversity
‘Women @ Tilbury Douglas’ promotes an inclusive environment that promotes and demonstrates gender equality, amplifying the progress of women within the organisation
‘Pride’ aims to create greater visibility of LGBTQIA+ individuals in construction
Our ‘Disability’ network helps raise awareness about seen and unseen disabilities and how they may affect colleagues

Tilbury Douglas has successfully achieved the National Centre for Diversity’s (NCD) full Investors in Diversity Standard. This demonstrates that we’ve committed to building a culture based on ‘FREDIE’ values:

Fairness for all is a reality
Respect for all is the norm
Equality of opportunity for all is embedded
Diverse employees feel that they belong
Inclusion is widely understood
Engagement amongst colleagues

We have also successfully achieved The Menopause Friendly Accreditation.

We are also proud to be winners of the Most Inclusive Company award at the prestigious Women in Construction Awards 2024, and our Social Value and Sustainability Director, Lucy Davies, won the Best Contribution to Gender Diversity Award at the 2024 Inspiring Women in Construction Awards.
