Why us
Sustainable
Mindset
At Athena, sustainability isn’t an afterthought—it’s embedded in everything we do. We are committed to responsible practices that minimise environmental impact while delivering exceptional workplaces. That’s why we use only 100% sustainably sourced and certified timber, prioritise UK-made products to reduce transport emissions, and ensure that 99% of construction waste is diverted from landfill. Our commitment extends to the materials we choose, using only VOC and low-VOC paints, adhesives, and finishes for healthier indoor environments. With ESG at the heart of our business, we’re shaping a future where great design and sustainability go hand in hand.
Owner
Led
As an owner led business we are fully involved in the day-to-day running of the business. We will be working on your project from initial contact through to completion. The successful delivery of your project is hugely important to us, so we are here to make sure that happens. We do not have layers and layers of management to negotiate through which enables effective decision making. This results in a collaborative and direct delivery approach.
Client
Journey
We really want you to enjoy the process! We appreciate that clients either want a lot or minimal involvement, either way, we take the stress out of the project so that you can focus on relevant decisions and get involved with the elements that are important to you.
Social
Responsibility
We believe in having an equal and diverse workforce so we have partnered with ‘Women Into Construction’ to help promote gender equality in our industry. We also believe in helping others and have committed to donating a part of our profits to a charity dedicated to alleviating the impact of poverty on children and young people living in the capital.
