Our partnership with Shaping Portsmouth will allow us to deliver social value that is powerful and relevant to the brilliant people who live in this city.”
Sam McGrath, Director of Operations & Marketing at Shaping Portsmouth, said: “Shaping Portsmouth has been in contact with the Solent Team at Keir for a few months now. The Senior Management Team has offered our programmes a huge amount of support so far in 2023, therefore it’s an honour to now welcome them as our newest Partner. We have a large agenda to get through, mainly working on our Skills & Employability programme and further projects linked to our Education Pillar Strategy.”
Stef Nienaltowski, Shaping Portsmouth CEO, adds “I met Michelle McKechnie from Kier last autumn at Business South event and we discussed the various aspects of the social responsibility her company has, and how that aligned with our Shaping Portsmouth vision for the city. Michelle and her colleagues immediately volunteered for one of our programmes and I am delighted now to welcome them as a Partner of Shaping.
“Kier has a set of values that match ours: collaboration, trust, and a focus and disciplined approach in how they work and deliver. These are exactly what we believe in too, and hence this new Partnership is one that will benefit both organisations and our city as a whole.
“Welcome Michelle and the Kier team to the Shaping organisation.”
