Mears Group celebrates receiving internationally recognised commendation for commitment to health and safety.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) is a charity that have been dedicated to saving lives and preventing serious injuries for more than a century.

Regarded as the ultimate benchmark for safety excellence, Mears Group was congratulated for achieving a Gold Award for its outstanding control of risk and very low levels of error.

Jason Burt, Group Director of Health, Safety and Compliance at Mears Group, said:

“This fantastic achievement for Mears marks our 24th consecutive Gold Award, a testament to our sector-leading approach to compliance and health and safety. We never take this record for granted, and it feels particularly significant given the evolving housing compliance and regulatory landscape.
“Every colleague at Mears plays a vital role in fostering a strong health and safety culture. By consistently following our policies, embedding safe working practices and working with our dedicated team to continuously improve our approach, we collectively create a safer working environment for colleagues, customers, and communities.”

Julia Small, RoSPA’s Growth Director, said:

“RoSPA congratulates Mears Group on its RoSPA Health and Safety Award. The high standards Mears has achieved are the result of hard work and dedication, of which they should be rightfully proud and which RoSPA is delighted to honour.
“2026 is a landmark year for the RoSPA Awards as we reflect on how far workplace safety has come in 70 years. It is because of the commitment of health and safety leaders like Mears that people today are safer at work than in the past and sets an inspiring example for the future.”

Mears received the 'Order of Distinction' in recognition of the Group’s ongoing commitment to going beyond compliance and achieving the highest standards of health and safety for colleagues, clients, customers and the communities in which they operate.
