Training

Since the incorporation of the company in 2004, Gipping has been committed to maximising the potential of our team. We achieved Investors in People status in our first year of trading and have been IIP Gold since 2018.

We have an intake of apprentices, both trade and management. Typically, one in five of the directly employed team are undergoing an apprenticeship or formal qualification (such as NVQ, degree, HNC).

We are also industry partners to local education establishments in the region providing support for work placements, mock interviews, site visits, school visits, briefings and lectures to further or higher education.

Education never stops

All our staff are encouraged to continue training to support their career which is financially supported by the company with time-off for course attendance provided. Site and office based staff receive training in health and safety, first aid and mental health issues such as suicide prevention as well as specialist certified courses particular to construction.

Investors in People

We are very proud of our Investors in People Gold Award, which we have held for the last six years. Our support of continuous training is one of the strengths of Gipping and recognised by our staff as a great benefit.

Every one of our directly employed staff members is featured on our About page with the full list of their qualifications and experience highlighted, together with projects they have worked on whilst employed at Gipping.
Our people are our greatest asset.

What Our Clients Say

  • “Peter was outstanding when it came to communications and implementing changes and fixes that were required by the building work supplier. Very happy to recommend Gipping's services to others.”

    Oliver Squirrell, Old Jet Airspace Programme

  • “I just wanted to thank you again for pretty much everything! I absolutely love our home and it was totally worth the wait. There isn’t a single thing I’d change, it really is perfect. The landscapers have been now too and it’s totally transformed the outside space, it just looks incredible. I feel super lucky to live here, every time I pull up back home I smile and feel so grateful and lucky.  All the workmen have been incredibly lovely and gone above and beyond too, you have such a great team of people, they are extremely lovely and that makes a huge difference. I wish you well in all that you do creating beautiful homes for people. Thank you so so much.”

    Kayleigh Williams: Wix

  • “As a team, Gipping met every expectation throughout the project. Steve James provided the exact role and attitude required for a project of this nature. The way he managed the works on site, given the difficult “live” environment was a credit to the firm. The overall management and support for Steve from Steve Offord and Joe was also a large factor in the smooth running of the scheme. All involved should be commended and are a credit to Gipping. Thank you for your part in a very successful scheme.”

    Ben Mitchell, The Design partnership: Walden Place

  • “Carl, and the team, were fantastic during this phase of the project. Carl kept us updated with how the work was going and always had time to check with us if he thought things would impact on the running of the school. The site was always clean and tidy. The project was delivered slightly ahead of schedule, which made the transition into the build much easier for us! Thank you!”

    Hannah Brookman, Tollgate Primary School Phase I

  • “It was a pleasure working with Gipping and we are very happy with our new home. Shaun Whiting was an exceptional Site Manager and remained professional, approachable and friendly throughout the entire build. The site was always tidy, well-managed and busy. We felt as if the entire Gipping team took our project seriously and truly cared about getting the build right. I would highly recommend you to anyone who is considering building a home.”
