“We always aim to use local companies if we can and we are delighted to award a growing Blackpool company the contract. The company has a strong track record of partnership including working with local authorities and social housing providers. We have ourselves already worked with Evolution for a number of years. “We also ask our suppliers to make commitments on social value. Evolution demonstrated that it can create positive social impact across the communities it serves, and we are really looking forward to seeing the benefits of their initiatives and projects in our local communities.”

“This is yet another example of how public sector contracts and the many regeneration projects that we see across our town can add important economic and social benefits for local areas. The creation of new jobs, work experience and contributions to local charities will help so many people.”

“Our team consistently delivers the highest standards, and we are proud that this has been recognised by such a major public sector organisation as Blackpool Coastal Housing. “We are very excited to be working in partnership with the housing organisation to provide a service which will improve the lives of many people across the Blackpool and Fylde Coast areas. It will allow us to create career opportunities and more work experience placements for college or school leavers and unemployed residents, which is something that we are really passionate about supporting.”
