People: External Engagement with Communities, Contractors & Supply Chain Alongside internal initiatives, Garland UK’s People pillar extends to the communities it serves, the contractors it supports, and our wider supply chain. Through training, technical support, and supplier engagement, the company continues to build stronger partnerships that drive positive social, environmental, and educational outcomes across the industry.
