Our Vision & Values

We have made a commitment to create an inspiring environment for our people to feel safe, empowered and succeed while they work proudly for the Joseph Gallagher Group. It’s an environment that has evolved significantly, but relies on putting our people first.

Our vision is to create a high performing culture that focuses on hard work, collaboration, our surroundings and - above all - the safety and wellbeing of our people.

Joseph Gallagher

Group Chairman, JGL

The core values of the business remain unchanged since the business was started by Josie Gallagher in 1982:

  1. Hard work
  2. Integrity
  3. Safety

As valued members of the Joseph Gallagher family, our people respect and champion these core values, and it is their willingness to embrace these values which lies at the heart of our success.

Our award-winning LIFE cultural and behavioural programme (Living Incident Free Everyday) underpins our core values and everything that we stand for when it comes to the safety and wellbeing of our people.

It is integral to how we operate and do business, both in the UK and overseas, and is based on the premise that we believe we should be sending everyone home safe and well every day.

It’s more than a safety programme – it’s our entire culture. The values and behaviours are impressed upon all new employees as soon as they become a member of the Joseph Gallagher Group and we demand they are at the heart of everything we do - both individually and collectively - as a business.

Our mission is to work in tandem with project partners to understand the challenges when it comes to communities and the environment. We want to champion and inspire positive change: to reduce the chances of harm to our people on site, people in the communities where we work and of course the natural environment and its habitat.
