Find where you thrive

Last week, we headed up to London for the Flexa Awards - and we’re still smiling about it! We’ve only been on the platform for less than six months, so to already be shortlisted felt pretty special. Even better, we made the top 10 for ‘Most Family Friendly Company’. Creating a genuinely flexible, family-friendly environment has always mattered to us - so it’s great to see that recognised. A really proud moment for the team!

Still taking this one in… 🤩🏆 Last week, our team had the pleasure of attending the 2026 Flexa Awards, and we’re proud to share that we walked away with two wins: 🥇 #1 Most Flexible Company 🌟 Top 5 for Best Work-Life Balance These awards are a direct reflection of our people. The way our team embraces flexibility and supports one another is what makes our culture so special. It’s a huge moment for us, and one that wouldn’t be possible without the collective effort behind the scenes 💙

A career change in your 30s, with a mortgage to think about? For Rumana Akthair, it was the best decision she ever made. After building a career across mental health, community development and local government, Rumana joined Virgin Media O2 as an apprentice, retraining into information security with support, stability and confidence to do it properly. Today, she's an Information Security Manager, protection our systems and helping keep millions connected. At Virgin Media O2, our apprenticeships aren't just for school leavers. We offer permanent contracts, competitive salaries and a genuinely inclusive culture that values transferable skills, lived experience and potential, whatever the age.

Mental health in construction is complicated and it’s not something one organisation can fix alone. Laura Hague’s recent interview with New Civil Engineer is a timely reminder of how unplanned change and constant pressure affect people day to day. Embedding mental health at project level really matters. It’s good to see others across the industry having similar conversations. This needs sustained effort, not ticking a box.
