Inside Sisk
‘Meet the people behind the projects’. For 165 years, John Sisk & Son has been building the places where we live, work, play, and pray. Still family-run, the company behind so many iconic projects puts its success down to its people. People with many skills but one goal: to create exceptional places that leave a positive legacy. In ‘Inside Sisk’, we meet the people behind the projects. We hear what drives them, what fulfils them, what it means to be a part of the Sisk family. Their own stories, in their own words.

S4 Ep5 - “Sustainability is a career that people are proud of being part of now”
What does legacy look like when your job is sustainability? For Sarah-Jane Davies, it’s about ensuring that Sisk’s work leaves places, communities and the planet in a better way than before the work was done.
In this episode of Inside Sisk: The Legacy Series, Sarah-Jane traces her journey from being “the annoying person on sites talking about waste” to becoming Head of Sustainability UK at Sisk, where she is helping to shape the long term sustainability strategy of the company. She also talks about her passion for apprenticeships, community outreach, and her bold plan to plant 1.7 million trees to mark Sisk’s 170-year anniversary.
Inside Sisk: The Legacy Series explores the enduring impact of construction — not just the projects that transform skylines and cities, but the people, values, and culture that leave a lasting mark long after the work is complete. Unlike previous series, which focused on the challenges, innovations, and stories behind individual builds, this series digs deeper into what it means to create legacy. Through personal reflections from those shaping the built environment, we uncover how buildings, projects, and everyday interactions together can create legacies that last.
