Amey's purpose is to support organisations, both public and private, that serve the public and meet the needs of the 21st Century citizen. The company aims to deliver and improve public services. Amey's approach is "based on true partnership, supporting the delivery of the highest public policy objectives, in education and transport, social cohesion and community development."
Responsible Business
The Community: Amey recognises the important role of local authorities in acting as place shapers, delivering the community leadership, economic well-being and environmental improvements necessary for the development of productive communities.
Amey recognises that education and local infrastructure development are both vital catalysts for social regeneration. They also help to address some of the other issues that blight communities, such as crime, graffiti and personal security. Amey's aim is to help deliver the resources that act as hubs for community and in all its development programmes, it recognises the interests of children, young people, the vulnerable and the elderly.
Amey's England’s Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme aims to show how well-maintained and well-run community resources can act as catalysts for the promotion of social inclusion and the wider social and economic regeneration.
Supporting Young People: Amey has a firm belief that education is the bedrock on which the UK's future is founded, underpinning the life chances of every citizen. It believes that "it is also the key to the nation’s future prosperity and our ability to thrive in a competitive global economy."
Amey is "proud of the role we play in delivering educational transformation and share the goal of providing children with a world-class standard of education."
The company works in partnership with government departments, local authorities and individual schools up and down the country to assist in the delivery of on-going school improvement and national programmes such as Every Child Matters and Building Schools for the Future (BSF).
"We provide inspirational environments and the right tools to encourage and support the development of new methods of teaching and learning. The application of advanced technology is essential in these programmes and we bring the experience and expertise that give pupils and teachers the opportunity to change the way they work and engage."
