RSBi employs over 250 people, more than 50% of whom have a disability.<\/p>\n<h3>City Building was presented with a Queen&#8217;s Award for promoting opportunity through social mobility<\/h3>\n<p>The company was presented with its third Queen\u2019s Award for Enterprise as part of a prestigious civic reception in the City Chambers. The Promoting Opportunity award recognises the firm\u2019s excellence in promoting opportunity through social mobility.<\/p>\n<p>It is the first-ever construction firm and only the fourth business in Scotland to achieve the Investor in Young People (IYP) Platinum accreditation, awarded in May 2022.<\/p>\n<h3>The construction company is also Scotland&#8217;s largest employer of apprentices<\/h3>\n<p>The company is Scotland\u2019s largest employer of apprentices, with around 200 apprentices on its books. It is also the industry\u2019s largest employer of female craft trade apprentices, with one of the highest pass-out rates for apprentices at 94%.<\/p>\n<h3>The partnership has played a vital role in the protection and safety of City Building projects<\/h3>\n<p>Alan Burns, executive director of City Building, said: \u201cThe ongoing partnership between City Building and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/stakeholders\/secured-design\/109420\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Secured by Design<\/a> has played a vital role in the protection and safety of all City Building projects.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;By renewing City Building\u2019s membership with the scheme, we are signalling an ongoing commitment to deterring and preventing crime and antisocial behaviour surrounding City Building sites. We will also create tangible benefits to both City Building as a company and the wider community that we serve.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are looking forward to continuing our work with Secured by Design in the coming years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>SBD national lead, Kenny McHugh, added: \u201cI am delighted that City Building have renewed their Secured by Design membership. They are a highly successful business who deliver a wide range of high quality construction and manufacturing operations, including design and build construction projects, new house building and major refurbishment projects across both the public and private sectors. I am looking forward to working with them over the coming years\u201d.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of Scotland\u2019s largest construction companies, City Building, has renewed its membership with the national police crime prevention initiative, Secured by Design (SBD).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[304],"tags":[664,464,854,172727,692],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[172515],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-123873","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-planning-construction-news","7":"tag-construction-services","8":"tag-contributor-profile","9":"tag-crime-prevention","10":"tag-featured","11":"tag-security","12":"stakeholder_rel_tag-secured-by-design"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>City Building renew membership with Secured by Design (SBD)<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"City Building has renewed its membership with the national police crime prevention initiative, Secured by Design (SBD)\u00a0\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/city-building-renew-membership-with-secured-by-design-sbd\/123873\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"City Building renew membership with Secured by Design (SBD)\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"One of Scotland\u2019s largest construction companies, City Building, has renewed its membership with the national police crime prevention initiative, Secured by Design (SBD)\u00a0\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/city-building-renew-membership-with-secured-by-design-sbd\/123873\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
