As part of our response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak we've restricted public access to our offices in the GMID ensuring we maximise social distancing advice to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. We will continue to deliver the usual high levels of customer service.

October is Health & Safety Month and a timely reminder to take care in the workplace & out on-site. During September, Connections Project contractors worked 77,124 hours on-site; that's the equivalent of the number of hours in 8 years worked in only one month. Go team!
