Happy 16th Birthday, Roxy!

Not every member of the DASCO team wears a hard hat. 

Some prefer a blanket, a comfy bed and the occasional treat. 

This week, we celebrated a very special birthday as our beloved office dog, Roxy, turned 16. 

Roxy has been coming to work with us for almost nine years and has become a familiar face around the office. While she may have slowed down a little over the years, she still keeps a close eye on everything that’s going on. 

In her younger days, she was often first to greet visitors through the door. These days, she prefers a quieter role, usually involving a comfortable nap and keeping watch from her favourite spot in the office. 

Of course, she still knows exactly when somebody opens a packet of biscuits. 

As a family business, having dogs around the workplace is normal to us. Roxy has been part of the team for so long that it’s hard to imagine the office without her. 

She’s provided plenty of entertainment over the years, welcomed countless visitors and undoubtedly enjoyed her fair share of treats along the way. 

So from everyone at DASCO, we’d like to wish Roxy a very happy 16th birthday. 

Here’s to our loyal colleague, chief morale officer and professional snoozer.

Inspiring the Next Generation of Skilled Tradespeople 

The construction industry has a major problem: a lack of skilled tradespeople.  Ask almost any contractor and they’ll tell you the same thing. There is plenty of work available, but finding skilled people to deliver it is becoming increasingly difficult.  At DASCO, we believe part of the solution starts in schools.  Recently, Managing Director Scott Rothwell visited students at St Mary’s RC
