Neil completes York Half Marathon for Lighthouse Construction Charity
A huge shout out to our employee Neil Harrison for completing the York Half Marathon this weekend.
Neil completed the 13.1mile course in 1hr 48minutes and has hit his target and raised £510 for the Lighthouse Construction Charity.
The Lighthouse Charity is dedicated to the emotional, physical & financial wellbeing of construction workers & their families. They provide a range of free pro-active resources to support the industry. Their free & confidential 24/7 Helpline & text HARDHAT service offers a range of information, guidance & support. These services are complemented by their free Self Support App. They receive no public funding so rely on the industry to 'support their own'. Every penny raised helps make a difference to a construction worker in need.
Congratulations Neil.

Simpson celebrate successful Sainsbury's launch
On Thursday, 13th November, Simpson proudly marked the completion and grand opening of Sainsbury’s newest flagship supermarket at Wynyard, Billingham.
Simpson were appointed to complete the fit-out to the impressive 48,330 sq. ft. store which has been built to Sainsbury’s latest specification, setting a new benchmark for quality and sustainability. Featuring latest design, energy-efficient standards, and advanced operational features, this store represents the very best of Sainsbury’s retail experience.
Centre of Excellence takes home the win
Last night’s NFB Construction Awards of Excellence in Birmingham brought a fantastic moment of pride for Simpson. Two of our projects were shortlisted: Hull Maritime Museum—recognised in both the Remarkable Restoration and Renovation and Heritage and Conservation Project categories—and the Centre of Excellence, shortlisted for Excellence in Educational Building.
While Hull Maritime Museum narrowly missed out, we are thrilled to announce that the Centre of Excellence was named the winner of Excellence in Educational Building.
This project represents something truly special: a world‑class hub for heritage craft skills, supporting research, training, and the future of traditional craftsmanship. Being part of its journey has been a privilege.
Congratulations to everyone who helped bring this award‑winning project to life.
