Ethical Reading exists to help organisations in Reading and their teams do the right thing by each other, the wider community and the environment and to thrive in the process. 

It’s all about encouraging people to take a compassionate, respectful and responsible approach when making decisions at every level from the board room to everyday interactions.

Earlier in June, our MD Will Barrett and Sarah Reddecliffe participated in the second Business Ethics Schools Fair organised by Ethical Reading.

86 students from three local schools along with staff members and the new Mayor of Reading, Cllr Glenn Dennis attended the event held at Queen Anne’s School in Caversham.

Following the introductory speeches, the students were divided into nine groups to discuss ethical issues and had a chance to ask questions to a panel comprising Will Barrett and representatives from other local organisations.

This was the second time Francis Construction representatives participated in the event.
