Sustainable construction company Tarmac has revealed £4m worth of 'positive impact' on Hertfordshire as a result of its projects.

The research was unveiled at this past weekend's Herts County Show, at which the company was a main sponsor.

In a report, titled 'Creating social impact in Hertfordshire', the company outlined the work it has done and the effect it has had on the region.

In honour of the late Queen, 17,341 trees and shrubs were also planted at the park to create the new Queen’s Wood.

The company worked with local volunteers, including schools and businesses.

Their other work includes:

  • Providing eight local apprenticeships and employing 39 people.
  • Contributing £40,200 worth of social impact through mental and physical wellbeing support for local employees.
  • Giving local communities access to green space within 500m of their home.

David McCabe, head of land development at Tarmac, said: “As a major landowner and business operating across Hertfordshire, Tarmac takes its commitment to long-term stewardship very seriously and we are constantly striving for ways we can create better futures for communities across the county.

"We are so grateful to all the volunteers who have helped to get us to the 10th anniversary of Panshanger Park, they play a key role in helping us to maintain and enhance the important habitats found in the park.

"We felt the Hertfordshire Show was a great place to recognise all their hard work and publicly thank them for their support."
