Last Friday saw Lynne Donnelly attend the The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) Tomorrows Leaders event.

An interesting and thought provoking afternoon discussing the skills shortages within the construction industry and how we may all work towards filling those gaps.

A few personal takeaways

💠 Some positive improvements in young peoples perceptions of the construction industry.
💠 We must all be ensuring that we are making quality training available to meet the needs of the skills gaps in the industry, including ensuring that the delivery of the training is done in the most effective manner to suit the workers on the ground.

🚨 This is your reminder Mondays 🚨

Having trained Fire Wardens isn’t just about compliance, it’s about protecting your people, your business, and your peace of mind. 🔥

Our Fire Warden Training is a half day course and can make all the difference in an event of a fire.

If your Fire Warden Training was before 27 Oct 2022, your certificate is now expired! ⏰

If it’s time to update your training, we’re here to help.

✨ Monday Rewind ✨

It’s been a busy and exciting few weeks for the JMD team, here’s a look at what we’ve been up to!

💛 We were proud to sponsor the Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity – Northern Ireland Branch's NI Lunch at the stunning Europa Hotel. It was a fantastic event supporting a brilliant cause, and our team thoroughly enjoyed being part of it.

🎭 Annemarie Gillen and Claire Collins enjoyed a magical evening at the Island Arts Centre for Lisburn Chamber of Commerce's Night at the Theatre, a wonderful night celebrating local arts and community.

💼 Lynne Donnelly CMgr MCMI represented JMD at the NI Chamber Festival of Business in the beautiful St George’s Market, an inspiring day filled with valuable talks and networking opportunities.

🐄Lynne Donnelly CMgr MCMI also attended a business open day at Draynes Farms with Lisburn Chamber of Commerce, hearing the incredible story of a local family business and their exciting plans for the future.

🍽️ Annemarie Gillen and Claire Collins braved the storm to attend the Lisburn Chamber of Commerce Annual Dinner at the lovely Edenmore House Hotel, an evening of great company, delicious food, and meaningful connections.

🎓A huge congratulations to our amazing NEBOSH General Certificate candidates who achieved a 100% pass rate in NG1 and an impressive 94% pass rate in NG2.

We’re so proud of the energy and passion our team brings to every event. With plenty more to come, we can’t wait to see what the rest of 2025 has in store!

👉 Stay tuned to see where JMD heads next!

🧁 National Dessert Day🧁

We don't need much persuasion in JMD to treat ourselves to something nice. So this morning we grabbed some buns from French Village Bakery and had a good team catch up over a cuppa ☺️

🚨 This is your reminder Mondays, Is Your First Aid Training Still Valid? 🚨

Did you know that the Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) certificate is valid for 3 years? That means if you completed your course on or before 13th October 2022, your qualification has now expired ⏰

Don’t get caught out, having trained first aiders on-site isn’t just good practice, it’s a legal requirement and could make all the difference in an emergency 💪🩹

Book your 1-day EFAW course today to refresh your skills, stay compliant, and keep your workplace safe 🏥👷‍♀️

🌍 World Mental Health Day 2025 🌍

This year’s theme, “Access to Services – Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies,” highlights the importance of supporting mental wellbeing during times of crisis. The Mental Health Foundation is focusing on how repeated exposure to news about conflict and disaster affects our mental health.

On this World Mental Health Day, your timelines will likely be filled with messages reminding us to care for ourselves and each other and that’s a good thing.....but what about the other 364 days of the year?

In times of uncertainty and instability, it’s vital that we move beyond awareness and take consistent, meaningful action. Make sure Your policies and procedures aren’t just written and in a folder but alive, active, and truly supporting the mental health of your teams all year round.
