Our second careers fair visit to Coop Academy Woodslee Primary School was such a great event. The children were enthusiastic, knowledgeable and wanted to learn more about construction and what the industry had to offer. Hopefully we will see them in the years to come operating our machines or as a Quantity Surveyor or Civil Engineer!

Project - Rivington Chase, Horwich

We had the pleasure of welcoming Chris Green MP for Bolton West to our project last week, to take a look at the good progress made during recent months.

Chris Green MP secured £12m in funding towards building this new spine road which will divert heavy traffic from Chorley New Road and the Beehive roundabout whilst connecting Horwich with Middlebrook for the developing area of new housing and commercial property. There will be over 4 hectares of employment land in the south east corner of Rivington Chase to create new job opportunities.

Mental Health Awareness Week is underway from the 13th to 19th May aiming to raise awareness and drive positive change for everyone’s mental health.

At D Morgan, Emotional Health and Mental Health & Wellbeing support is embedded in our business and signposted on all of our equipment: We understand the issues and support our People in a way that is very clear and practical.

Our Emotional Health & Wellbeing Policy and Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) helps colleagues in need to express how they are feeling and talk about their Mental Health & Wellbeing with structured assistance from our team of trained First Responders and Mental Health First Aiders.

Let’s all remove the stigma about Mental Health - It’s GOOD to express emotions BY TALKING - Don’t be isolated feeling alone.

On the 15th June, members of the D Morgan plc and Balfour Beatty plc Parkside Link Road project team are doing the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge to help raise money for The Prince's Trust.

The Prince’s Trust supports 11 to 30 year-olds who are unemployed or struggling at school to get their lives on track. Many of the young people we support are in or leaving care, have been in trouble with the law, or they are facing challenges such as homelessness or mental health issues.

πŸ›£ The new A585 Windy Harbour to Skippool bypass in Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire was fully opened to traffic recently and it looks great!

Approximately three miles of new road has been constructed around the village of Little Singleton, bringing much-needed capacity to deliver smoother and more reliable journeys πŸš— πŸš™ 🚌 🚚 πŸš›

The Port Men in Sheds

Our Plant Operators Callum and Callum, have been busy helping the one of our local community schemes with shed building and painting.

For over 13 years, The Men in Sheds scheme has been a significant force in Ellesmere Port, in helping hundreds of older men combat the effects of loneliness and isolation often brought about through retirement and bereavement. National research has shown ‘Men in Sheds’ schemes have resulted in superior health outcomes for those affected by loneliness and isolation.

Help create a new 'Shed-Quarters' for The Port Men in Sheds...
