About
Us
SIREN started in December 2001 and was initially a joint
partnership project by the Employment & Probation
Service (now Jobcentre Plus & the National Probation
Service). What came of that partnership was an organisation
called Social Inclusion Reaching Employment Needs Limited
– trading as SIREN. After securing a small workshop
in Brecon, SIREN received a great deal of support and
assistance from the Prince's Trust Cymru before, in March
2004, moving into much larger premises with the support
and guidance of Environment Wales.
 |
Over the past two and a half years SIREN has expanded
from its original 750sq ft workshop to our new 3000sq
ft premises. We have been able to expand our business
and our potential for employment inline with this
size increase… where we did have 5 employees, we
have now gone to 11 and are looking to recruit again
within the coming months.
SIREN was established with a great deal of assistance
from Coed Cymru, the organisation in Wales that
promotes the use of sustainably produced Welsh indigenous
hardwood timbers from managed forests in the Country.
SIREN's two main suppliers are the Wentwood Timber
initiative in lanvaches near Usk, and the Pembroke
Timber Store… both of these suppliers work exclusively
as part of Coed Cymru with their respective local
authorities and supply SIREN with both kiln &
air dried hardwoods from managed forests in Wales. |
Our environmental policy stretches across our
organisation and covers all aspects of the running
of the business, from the timber suppliers through
to the re- cycled computers we use for the running
of the business and training… not to mention the
fair-traded coffee and tea that we drink. We are
an Environment Wales registered project and are
very proud of our environmental standing, In November
2003 we were invited to 10 Downing St for an evening
reception in recognition of our work in environmental
and social regeneration… we even delivered recently
one of our three-seater benches to Checkers!
Overall SIREN holds its environmental and ethical
values as highly as its social ones, whilst the
company was established for purely social goals
we have developed into a truly environmentally aware
organisation that values these ethics and promotes
them where possible. |
