DXI are working hard behind the scenes to support the UK's energy network.

Some recent pictures from our ongoing framework working on windfarms across the country.

With the increasing reliance on renewable energy and the push toward net zero, expanding further into the renewable energy sector has always been a clear goal for DXI.

We can't stress enough the importance of providing young people with more opportunities to enter construction. Ultimately they're the future of our industry. Recent studies show:
👷‍♀️ Apprenticeship starts in construction have dropped by 14% since 2021/22.
👷 Just 11% of the construction workforce is aged 16–24.
👷‍♂️ Nearly half of students (47%) said construction wasn’t mentioned in their school careers advice.
👷‍♀️ Only 1 in 5 construction companies takes on apprentices.
90% of young people who did a work placement said it gave them valuable workplace skills.
👷 The industry needs an extra 250,000 workers by 2028 to meet demand.

As part of our membership with The 5% Club, we met with local colleges to discuss our plans to provide students with work opportunities. Runshaw College put us in touch with one of their students, Edward Cheesman (Teddy), who is studying a T-level in Design, Surveying, and Planning for Construction and wanted to gain experience in civil engineering and project management. We're glad to say he's nearly completed the 215 hours of work experience needed for his T-level working with the DXI team on our sites at Barton and Farington.

After two weeks Teddy had already set out walkways, quantified and priced stone, completed a drawing with legends on, and assisted with a drainage inspection with LABC (picture below). He's continued to gain valuable mentorship and knowledge since, and kept evidence toward his qualification. We had the pleasure of watching him present a Toolbox Talk on winter working to the site team, complete with a presentation. It was clear that he had been warmly welcomed on site and built a rapport with the rest of the DXI team.

Teddy has given DXI strong feedback:
"The staff at DXI have been brilliant. I like how welcoming and helpful they have all been, and I’ve always felt at ease asking questions. Mark always has something for me to do and has taught me a lot. The engineering, health and safety, and quantity surveying teams were always happy to walk me through what they were doing. I’ve particularly enjoyed working with the engineering teams, using total stations to mark out where drainage is to be dug. I’ve already started applying what I’ve learned on my placement to my college work and exams.”

We want to say a massive thank you to our Site Manager at Barton, Mark Bonney, who has gone the extra mile as Teddy's supervisor. We must also thank our clients for allowing us to provide such valuable opportunities on our sites.

Our current Technical Manager is searching for a Technical Assistant. The role offers hands-on experience across earthworks and remediation projects, with direct mentoring from our highly skilled and experienced Technical Manager.

You’ll support the preparation of tender information, work with technical drawings and survey data, and develop valuable skills in AutoCAD, N4CE and 3D surface modelling, with clear opportunities to grow into a more autonomous technical role.

A willingness to learn and develop technical skills, along with strong communication and organisational abilities, is essential.

As Christmas and the New Year draw closer, there’s certainly been no ‘winding down’ for us...

Despite the wet and grey conditions that we’ve all come to expect at this time of year, we’ve been fortunate to deliver our most successful winter to date. That success is down to the DXI team, who work tirelessly all year round. We cannot thank you enough for your commitment, resilience, and good humour through the inevitable highs and lows each year brings. DXI wouldn’t be here without you. We hope you all enjoy a well-deserved break over the festive period: relax, unwind, and recharge ready for a busy 2026.

A huge thank you as well to our clients, subcontractors, suppliers, and everyone in between who has worked with us throughout the year. Your trust and collaboration have been invaluable.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

It’s been a fantastic year, and we’re looking forward to 2026.

Last week marked the final North West Contractors Training Group (NWCTG) meeting of 2025.

The members of the group came together to donate a fantastic number of Christmas presents to the children at St Helen's Young Carer's Centre. The charity provides an incredible service, supporting approximately 900 young carers aged between 6 and 18.

Despite the disappointing news that CITB will no longer be funding Training Groups, we're very pleased to hear NWCTG will continue independently, supported by a generous donation from one of its members. The group provides a valuable network, bringing together insight, experience, and shared knowledge across the construction industry.

A great way to end the year, and a reminder of the positive impact collaboration can have.

Some members of our Young Talent Team enjoyed attending Runshaw College's 'Your Future, Your Choice' careers event the other week, to showcase the opportunities we have available here at DXI for young people interested in the construction industry.

We're very grateful to have been invited to attend and to highlight the variety of roles involved in a civil engineering business like ours.

In a 2025 survey by Chartered Institute of Building, around 47% of 16-24-year-old's said construction was not mentioned in the careers guidance they received at school. This is something we hope to change through our work with local schools, colleges, and universities.
