At GA Interiors, our commitment to clients and communities extends well beyond drylining, SFS and ceilings. On every project we deliver – across London, the South East and East Anglia – we invest in the people and places around our sites: creating apprenticeship opportunities, inspiring the next generation into construction careers, giving our time to local causes, fundraising for charity, and channelling spend and jobs back into the local economy.
We believe a contractor’s value is measured not only in the quality of the build, but in the legacy it leaves behind. This is our social value commitment in action.
At a glance:
GA Interiors offers structured, mentored apprenticeship placements that give young people a genuine route into a skilled trade – combining real site experience with day-release qualification training.
We currently have 2 apprentices working towards their Interior Systems Installer (L2) qualification based on our Meridian 2 site in Enfield and training. It’s part of a wider effort to build a sustainable pipeline of skilled tradespeople for the interior systems and dry lining sector.
Our team regularly visits local schools to talk to students about career pathways into construction – from apprenticeships through to site management. In 2025 alone, Ieva Usavic and Charlie Dann delivered our careers programme to over 200 students across 4 schools, including Harris Academy Wimbledon, St George’s C of E School and St John’s Catholic Comprehensive School.
We’re proud to help open students’ eyes to a career in the built environment at an age when most haven’t yet considered it.
Using the same trade skills we bring to site, our team volunteers directly with local causes. In partnership with Sustainable Merton, we helped rebuild Merton’s Community Fridge at Morden Baptist Church – dismantling an old plywood structure, reusing materials where possible, fitting new shelving, and leaving the space ready for the next stage of improvement. The Community Fridge redistributes surplus food to reduce waste and support families across the borough.
“Being able to contribute to something that makes such a positive impact in the local community was a truly rewarding experience.” — GA Interiors team
We back the causes that matter to our people and our sites. Recent fundraising and giving includes:
Together with fundraising challenges and local sponsorships, GA Interiors has given over £20,000 to charitable and community causes.
Wherever practical, we source materials through builders’ merchants local to site and resource our projects with locally based tradespeople and specialist subcontractors – reducing transport miles, cutting down on travel, and reinvesting skilled work into the site’s home borough.
We also partner with local construction skills academies, including the Vistry Enfield Construction Skills Academy, to recruit and train talent directly from the communities we build in – creating a pipeline of local labour for our sites and our wider supply chain. Combined, our local spend and labour commitment has channelled over £1.8 million back into the local economy.
Our social value commitment sits alongside our formal accreditations: ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), ISO 45001 (Health & Safety), Constructionline, CHAS, SSIP and Cyber Essentials. It’s backed by a dedicated Sustainability and Environmental Policy and recognised through our Social Values accreditation.
Social value delivered through apprenticeships, careers education, volunteering, charitable giving and local spend – on every project we deliver. If social value forms part of your procurement scoring or your business’ own community commitments, we’d welcome the conversation.
