Celebrating International Woman’s Day 2024!
At Coreus, we work hard to be flexible and inclusive for everybody, and we benefit from the ideas a diverse team brings
The facts speak for themselves, we’re proud that 35% of our business is made up of women and have won several awards for our investments in our employees – check out some of the highlights below ——>
✔ Unlimited holiday: Our flexible leave policy helps the team manage work alongside personal commitments.
✔ Enhanced maternity/paternity pay: We recognise how important it is to spend time together as a family when a new baby arrives. So, we offer 26 weeks maternity leave at full pay, a further 26 weeks statutory, and 4 weeks paternity leave. Every family also receives a hamper of goodies.
✔ Flexible working: Our flexible environment means employees can choose a work pattern that suits them best.
✔ Birthdays off: If an employee’s birthday falls on a weekday, they will automatically have it off.
✔ Child’s first day at school off: We want to make sure our team never misses those special life moments, to support this every employee gets a day off when their child starts school.
But we are not stopping here, as part of our ESG strategy we are reviewing recruitment and broader business processes, aiming to enhance fairness and equity for individuals from diverse backgrounds. We are also supporting the local community through the Empowering Girls programme to drive change for the future!
Coreus had the privilege of joining MIPIM this year!
Harvey Stead, Associate Director and Alex Fuller, Senior Cost Consultant enjoyed their time in Cannes, participating in numerous networking opportunities. The event provided an excellent platform to connect with industry peers, forge new relationships, and exchange valuable perspectives on the current landscape of the construction market.
Progression Update For The University of Plymouth, Fitzroy Business School!
Great news! We’ve made significant progress and construction is well underway on this fantastic facility for the University of Plymouth. We’re right on track for its grand opening in early 2025.
This project aims to bring a significant positive impact on the University of Plymouth students to study business management, accounting/finance, and marketing.
The Business School already attracts a significant number of international students, and with the Fitzroy refurbishment well underway this will open up more enhanced teaching and experiences for both students and the staff.
Euan Stronge, Director Says,
“Works are progressing well with Kier to deliver this fantastic facility for the University of Plymouth Business School. The £14.5 million project is a significant element of the University’s £250 million Campus Masterplan designed to maintain a first-class learning, research and working environment for all students and staff as well as extend the University’s ambition for net zero.”
The Coreus team have worked closely with the University to develop this fantastic scheme with our supply chain, KTA, SDS and Curtins. We are extremely excited to see the vision and hard work become reality, delivering this world class facility.

Project Update: Vivian and Musgrave Engine House Archaeological Findings
Whilst working on our recent project for Swansea Council, we came across some exciting archaeological findings at Vivian and Musgrave Engine House:
▪️ A drive shaft and belt wheel from the 1819 rolling mill
▪️ The original poured-concrete machine base for the Musgrave rolls
▪️ Early masonry structures display the site’s initial architecture and provide insights into continuous furnaces, hearth features, and industrial processes
▪️ Annealing furnaces for copper bolts
▪️ Primary furnaces to the 1819 no.1 engine with an advanced heating system
These discoveries shed light on the industrial processes and infrastructure at Hafod Copperworks, highlighting the historical importance of Musgrave and Vivian Engine Houses. The completed and approved archaeological report will be shared with the regional Historic Environment Record and National Monuments Record of Wales for inclusion in public records. We were able to make these discoveries through the project’s funding partners, Powered by Levelling Up. The discovered artefacts will be carefully backfilled, and plans are underway to integrate these findings into the redevelopment designs. Further research is ongoing to reveal more about the site’s rich history!
Happy Easter from the team here at Coreus!
Our team have been enjoying a range of festive treats in the office, including biscuit decorating!
