Since launching the ‘Breaking New Ground’ strategy, Sisk has been leading the way in the modernisation of the construction industry. A great deal of time and investment has been made into Modern Methods of Construction (MMC), Digital Transformation, and achieving Net Zero. However, true to Sisk’s company values, investing in the right people to drive this strategy forward has remained paramount.

In this episode of Inside Sisk, Paul Brown reflects on his first three years as CEO. He talks about the challenges he faced in the early days of his tenure, the great strides that the company has made in the industry in the last three years, and why people will always be his priority.

Paul also talks about the inaugural Torchbearer Awards – a ceremony designed to recognise and reward colleagues that truly embody the spirit of Sisk’s Breaking New Ground strategy. We will hear from three of the twenty-nine winners, who share their passion for their work and their vision for where the construction industry is going.

Between Foynes Port and Limerick City lies a 42km stretch of railway line. It has been unused for over two decades but now Sisk is bringing it back to life, building new infrastructure where necessary and restoring the original where possible.

On this episode of Inside Sisk, we learn about the level of work and specialist skill required to restore a 200 year-old railway line, and also how this project is playing a central role in the modernisation of freight transport and in Ireland’s green agenda.

Silvertown is a very large, former industrial area on the Royal Docks in East London. It has a rich history but the 50 acre site has lain derelict for decades. Today, it is being regenerated to house a new generation of London residents and Sisk has been awarded the contract to build the very first plot here.

This is a particularly unique project, not only due to the challenging nature of the site, but also because of the modern methods of construction being used for the first time and some of the very specialised carbon-reduction systems in place.

In this episode of Inside Sisk, we meet members of the onsite team and learn about this innovation in practice, the importance of strong working relationships, and the positive impact that the Silvertown project is having on the local community
