Community

Our group is, at its heart, a family company with strong community values. We acknowledge that as a good corporate citizen, our company should be actively involved in the community, its interests and activities. We actively involve ourselves in supporting local sporting clubs and charity organisations, as well as becoming a lead signatory in the crime prevention association in the local area. We also support work experience (on-the-job training) for school leavers wanting a career in this cutting edge industry. We provide support to the community in many ways, including sponsorship of Local Charities, Local Business and Local Sports Clubs and Teams

Here at O’Brien Specialist Crane Services we are committed to providing benefits to the communities that we work in.
