CRH Front-line Leadership Programme (FLP)

The programme has been developed with global input and collaboration from across our business and we are thrilled to now offer this one-CRH global FLP.

Frontline leaders are critical for our business and are key to influencing how work gets done, make sure that our people stay safe and deliver on results. The program equips frontline leaders with high quality leadership skills that help them address the key challenges they face in their role. This one-CRH programme will enable a common and consistent leadership language for our frontline across the business.

In 2022, we will be starting 26 cohorts around the UK which will support the development of approximately 300 of Tarmac's frontline leaders.

Success stories

"I was delighted to be involved with the first cohort for the FLP programme. As we know, our site supervisors and managers are crucial in leading our safety journey and engaging our operational teams, so the FLP is really aimed at investing in their leadership skills. It was great to see the passion and confidence gained from the attendees on the course, whilst hearing how this is being used back in the business, and most importantly, how it’s making a difference."

Bevan Browne – Managing Director for Building Products and National Commercial
"I had never really considered myself a leader before attending the Frontline Leadership Program, it’s shown me how to use my strengths to connect with people who are totally different to myself and given me a whole new world of confidence. I’ve learnt to plan difficult conversations, make meaningful connections and build trust with those around me – invaluable lessons that I will carry with me going forward."

Amy Sherwin – Transport Manager
"The Frontline Leadership Programme provided me with the opportunity to learn and apply key skills which focused on leadership, teamwork, challenging conversations and coaching. These skills directly apply to my current role and have played a key part in my development. The programme enabled me to practice the leadership techniques within the workplace and on the modules which enabled me to grow in confidence and use them more frequently. It was a great experience to attend the Frontline Leadership Programme and have training sessions specifically focused on developing my leadership qualities. I found it to be extremely beneficial and it has made a real difference in how I engage with others. The focus on the CRH values and how this can improve safety performance on site was a key focus area and one which I have continued to apply since attending the Frontline Leadership Programme."

Oliver Kibble – Quarry Development Manager
