Community Engagement & Customer Care

Community engagement is at the forefront of our project planning processes. We work collaboratively with our clients and community groups to address issues that impact the well-being of local communities. We are sensitive to the environment in which people and businesses live and work

Community Engagement & Customer Care:

Our community engagement and customer care focus begins at the project concept stage where our design teams will identify solutions and concepts to minimise construction activities on site. Our Offsite Manufacturing Facility enables our project teams to manufacture and assemble large project components, ready for transportation to site when required. This process reduces traffic movements, noise impact and significantly reduces project durations, all to the benefit of local communities. 

We ensure positive interaction with communities through face to face meetings and discussion, social media updates and project open days where local residents are invited to visit our projects for guided tours and progress updates. 

We partner with local Universities, Colleges and Schools in order to promote the engineering industry and provide inspiration to the next generation of engineers. Our STEM Ambassadors are passionate about assisting students with the development of their problem solving, creative thinking and communication skills. 

Trant has also over many years committed resources and funds by the establishment of the Trant Goodwill Trust which contributes to local community causes. In addition to the trust, Trant have supported a number of projects some of which are listed below:-
