Corporate Social Responsibility
Ogilvie supports a wide range of charities across the UK
Through a number of initiatives and planned events throughout the year, Ogilvie supports a wide range of charities across the UK.
The Ogilvie Group has been owned and run by the Ogilvie family for over 70 years and prides itself on operating in a socially responsible way for the benefit of all stakeholders and the communities in which it operates.
Team Events
Ogilvie supports its members of staff in a wide range of charitable endeavours including marathons, hikes, cycle rides and other physical challenges. Recent events have included the Three Peaks Challenge, a charity football tournament and a member of staff who completed 3 marathons in 4 weeks.
Community Events
Ogilvie Construction is actively involved in all the communities it works with. During the building of critical infrastructure such as schools and leisure facilities, the community teams work closely with those who will be using the facilities.
Through competitions and events with local school children and families, Ogilvie encourages communities to get involved in projects from the outset. Ogilvie Construction also has over 100 projects registered with the Considerate Constructors Scheme.
Team UnLimited
A member of staff from Ogilvie’s Swansea office, spends his spare time 3D-printing prosthetic arms for children. Much of the production costs are funded by the Ogilvie Group and the designs for the prosthetics have now been shared and used to help children all around the world.
