Social Responsibility

Training

Ruddy have a long history of training apprentices in carpentry and joinery stretching back over 20 years, reaping the benefits as numerous apprentices are still employed by the company to this date, including several that have progressed to supervisory and management roles within the organisation.

Local labour

Ruddy have been actively involved in assisting developers of large projects, such as New Providence Wharf, Pan Peninsular, 5 Broadgate, One Tower Bridge , Battersea Power Station etc, and meeting their requirements by recruiting apprentices, labourers and skilled workers from the community local to these projects.

Local Supplier Spend

To assist the local communities and provide local employment opportunities, Ruddy have fostered longstanding supply chain partnerships to achieve a programme for identifying and using local distribution branches closest in distance to each project site.

Sustainability

Every care is taken when selecting suppliers to ensure that their policies are in line with Forest Stewardship Council guidelines.
Where this is not available an equivalent internationally recognised, globally applicable, certification system for wood management is obtained.
Where we undertake projects incorporating materials other than timber, we ensure that suppliers have an environmental policy that displays a responsible approach to the protection of our environment.

Anti Slavery Statement

Ruddy Joinery Limited (RJL) rely upon this statement, where necessary, for the purpose of complying with their individual annual reporting requirements of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.

The aim of this policy statement is to communicate our responsibilities and highlight the risks that modern slavery and trafficking pose to our business, clients and supply chain. Ruddy Joinery as a family business is a joinery and fit-out contracting company, providing manufacturing and contracting services to the UK market. Our supply chain is comprised of contractors, service providers, producers of materials and manufacturers of mechanical, electrical and other products used in the construction process.

Integrity is one of the core values under which RJL operates. RJL is committed to being a responsible business and to upholding high ethical standards in all our operations, including those of our supply chains, wherever they may be from. Our commitments are summarised in our Health and Safety and Responsible Materials Procurement Policies. The Global Slavery Index presents significant evidence that highlights the risk that labour standards issues could be present in construction supply chains, in the production of construction materials, delivery of construction activities and through the provision of professional services equipment such as laptops and phones. To identify and mitigate the risks of slavery and human trafficking, RJL takes the following focussed approach to the procurement of labour, goods and services:

Identification of issues and risks
Collaboration with our clients, peers and suppliers
Clear definition and contractual communication of our expectations
Review and assessment of supplier compliance
The resolution of challenges through training and supplier development.

RJL’s pre-qualification system is audited by Achilles Building Confidence and is currently being integrated within our internal management system. These tools assess suppliers against labour standards, health and safety, environmental and business ethics criteria, identifying issues and risks. Where issues are identified, RJL will works with suppliers to seek resolution through training and development. If the issue is deemed serious and/or is not capable of remediation RJL will remove the supplier from our supply chain unless and until the issue is fully resolved. We recognise that certain jurisdictions are considered high risk and have different legal and cultural frameworks. We work with clients and suppliers to understand the risks and mitigate them within the parameters of local law. RJL also provides specialist guidance to project procurement teams where there are deemed to be significant risks. In further support of this, we have developed guidance on modern slavery and trafficking in two key areas of activity:

Procurement of materials and services
Supervision of operatives / workers

Where staff have concerns around issues of forced labour, human rights, recruitment practices or exploitation, they are encouraged and expected to report concerns to management. All reports will be investigated by the Managing Director.

We will continue to review and evolve our approach as we gain further understanding of the risks presented by our business activities and suppliers and in line with guidance published by the UK Government. This statement is made pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes RJL’s slavery and human trafficking statement for the financial year ending 31 December 2023.

Oct 2017 – Testimonial from Michael R. Bloomberg.

” As we approach the final stages of construction, i want to personally thank you for your hard work on the new Bloomberg European headquarters.

Building the facility in the heart of the City of London, while preserving the ancient artifacts uncovered during excavation, has been a monumental task requiring an extraordinary level of coordination. Your outstanding efforts made it possible, and i am grateful for everything you did to bring this complex project to life.

Please extend my appreciation to each person on your team who worked at the building site. I hope that, in the years to come, they will be proud to tell friends and family that they helped to create a new London icon representing the workplace of the future.

Many thanks again for contributing your time and talent to this endeavor.”

Bloomberg Place,

“Much of BL’s development success over the years has been founded on the support and endeavours of the organisations that work with us. It sounds trite but without firms like yours we would not have been able to create buildings like Leadenhall, Clarges or 5 Broadgate.”

Richard Elliott, British Land - Leadenhall / Broadgate

“I was the Main contractors Package Manager for the Joinery and fit-out works at the £500 Million new build Francis Crick Institute, at Kings Cross. The Francis Crick building will be used to conduct cutting-edge biomedical research to improve our understanding of human health and disease. By the very nature of its end use the quality and accuracy of the fitting out works was of the highest quality.

The Joinery fit-out works were successfully undertaken by Ruddy Joinery, which included design and coordination interfaces with adjacent finishes.

Ruddy performed to the highest standards on the project, I found their design and installation teams very professional and proactive in achieving the required quality and ensuring they installed to a very tight programme. They built up a good working relationship with the Client throughout the project, which was based on winning over his trust, by their attention to detail and the quality of their work.”

Richard McGovern, Laing O'Rourke - Francis Crick

“I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you and your team for a first class job at 7 Westferry Circus.

Please pass my thanks on to your team, and I look forward to working with Ruddy Joinery in the very near future.”

John Colbeck, Canary Wharf - Westferry

“Ruddy’s successfully completed the toilet fit-out package for us at 20 Fenchurch Street. Their project management and design team were experienced and worked collaboratively and proactively throughout the project. Ruddy ensured that the project was well resourced from start to finish and this was significant in not only meeting critical milestones in the programme but ensuring a successful completion overall. The works were finished to an exceptionally high standard of quality and this was aided by good design detailing and dedicated management of the snagging process. Overall Ruddy was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend them”
