Creating an Inclusive and Diverse Culture
As a business of families with over 60 years’ experience, we recognise the value of a diverse workforce and ensure that every opportunity is available to every person across the communities we serve and beyond.
Led by our very own Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) Strategy called 'All Great People', we have outlined our positive intent to ensuring that EDI is at the very core of our business. To read the full strategy please click here - Equity, Diversity and Inclusion - FM Conway
This strategy reinforces our commitment as an inclusive employer and demonstrates the key areas and initiatives we have focused on to better attract, support and retain our workforce.
Thanks to our efforts, we are now a Disability Confident Leader, a gold member of the Armed Forces Covenant, and we have ‘Banned the Box’ across our application process. We are also passionate about encouraging more women into the construction industry and have pledged to achieve 30% female representation in our workforce by 2030, significantly higher than the current construction industry average of 15.8%.
Each of these areas demonstrate the strides we are making in ensuring everyone in our diverse society is understood and valued, and also how we are encouraging development across all levels of business.
Whether it is attracting new colleagues or supporting existing members of our business to grow and progress in their careers, it is vital that both our business and our industry is accessible, inclusive and representative of the wider communities that we live and work within.
Core Values and Business Ethos
Our business ethos is ‘Great People; Great Work’, which highlights the significance of our employees, who are undoubtedly the heartbeat of our organisation. We invest in our people, providing support, creating a safe space, empowering one another to thrive, and ensuring everyone can be the best they can possibly be.

- Care: As a business of families we act with care and compassion.
- Innovation: Our passion is to always find a better way.
