Laying the foundations for safety and success: Mercury Construction South West Ltd and SSG celebrate their 15 year partnership.

Mercury Construction South West Ltd has long made health, safety, and compliance central to their business. Over the past 15 years, their partnership with SSG has helped to strengthen this commitment through the provision of expert advice, tailored training, and ongoing support in both health and safety and HR. This collaboration has played a key role in helping Mercury maintain high standards across their operations while continuously evolving with industry demands.

Mercury began their membership journey with SSG by enrolling in the Health and Safety scheme, gaining access to expert guidance and support that has helped embed compliance and drive continual improvement in their workplace safety culture.

Following the success of their H&S membership, Mercury also became HR members – a clear reflection of their proactive commitment not only to compliance, but also to building a supportive and positive workplace.

Each year, SSG provide tailored policy updates in response to changes in legislation and business needs, alongside detailed desktop health and safety reviews to evaluate the effectiveness of existing procedures. This proactive approach enables Mercury to manage risk effectively, reinforce internal policies, and sustain a safe and positive workplace culture.

Most recently, Mercury have added to their long-term commitment by achieving SSG Assessed certification, a comprehensive health and safety assessment scheme designed to help suppliers demonstrate their commitment to health and safety compliance. Mercury actively promotes the scheme across their supply chain, requiring contractors to become SSG Assessed approved.

Their long-standing partnership with SSG demonstrates their clear investment in creating safer, more supportive working environments. From on-site safety support to HR advice and training, Mercury continue to make full use of SSG’s services.

"Our partnership with SSG has been instrumental in embedding a culture of safety and compliance throughout our business. Their support and expertise have helped us grow confidently and responsibly, not only by strengthening our internal processes but also by helping us assess compliance across our entire supply chain. Their tailored training and advice continue to help elevate our team." – Dan Welch, Director at Mercury Construction.

As a respected name in the construction industry, Mercury Construction are known for their high standards and consistent delivery across a wide range of projects and their partnership with SSG demonstrates this.
