C&S Electrical Installations: a social value inspiration

C&S Electrical Installations, a family-run business based in Wednesbury, is leading the way in creating social value for Sandwell. By employing local apprentices, supporting the community and embracing sustainability, the company demonstrates a strong commitment to Sandwell.

Investing in local talent

With 11 apprentices at various stages of their qualifications, C&S Electrical is building a skilled workforce for the future. The majority of their employees live in Sandwell and the Black Country, further strengthening the local economy and creating job opportunities within the community.

Kevin Spittle, Director at C&S, said “We’re a family-run business who live in Sandwell and believe in carrying out high-quality work while putting back into the community. We also believe in growing our workforce from within, giving young local people a chance to learn and develop into our skilled workforce.”­-­

Supporting the community

C&S Electrical’s impact extends beyond employment:

• Engagement with schools and sports teams: The company supports local schools and sports initiatives, fostering opportunities for young people.
• Helping local charities: Directors Kevin and Dean purchased gifts for the Sandwell Children’s Trust Christmas Toy Appeal.
• Community repairs: C&S also assists with repairs to community buildings, ensuring these spaces remain functional and safe.

Michael Wragg, our Social Value Officer, said “C&S are one of our excellent social value contract partners. It’s great to see so many local apprentices working on our contracts while working towards being fully qualified in an area of work that will always be needed.”

Promoting sustainability

C&S Electrical Installations is also committed to reducing their environmental impact by:

• Using local suppliers and supply chains whenever possible.
• Recycling and reusing materials to minimise waste.
• Continuously exploring ways to reduce their carbon footprint and energy usage.

C&S Electrical Installations serve as a great example for how a business can contribute to its local area by prioritising social value and sustainability.
