MPB Structures Launches ‘Family Board’ Initiative to Champion Site Safety Through Children’s Art

A new initiative at The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust project site is providing a powerful, personal reminder of the most important reason for staying safe at work: family.

MPB Structures is proud to announce the launch of its first-ever ‘Family Board,’ a heartwarming project designed to connect our site team with the loved ones they work for. The initiative was rolled out at the SaTH project, where we are working with our valued long-term client, IHP, a joint venture between VINCI Building UK and Sir Robert McAlpine.

The concept was simple yet powerful. The MPB Site Management Team invited our skilled site operatives to ask their children, nieces, nephews, or grandchildren to draw or paint a picture for a new site display. The goal was to create a constant, visible reminder for the team of why they come to work each day and, crucially, why we are all committed to ensuring they return home safely.

The response from our extended MPB family was fantastic. A total of 35 vibrant and imaginative drawings were submitted, with feedback from the team indicating that the children were thrilled and excited to contribute. Each piece of art now has a proud place on the ‘Family Board,’ serving as a colourful and deeply personal reinforcement of our safety-first culture.

In recognition of their fantastic efforts, MPB rewarded every child who submitted a drawing with a £20 gift card.

Sean Boyle and Patrick Boyle, MPB Main Board Directors, expressed their delight at the success of the initiative:

“WOW, we are very happy to see all the amazing art that the boys and girls from the MPB Family have made for our very first ‘Family Board’. The effort these children have made shows how much they love and care about their amazing mums and dads and family members coming home safe. A massive well done to all the children – keep up the amazing work and enjoy the treats from Amazon.”

This project would not have been possible without the collaboration of our partners. A special thank you goes to Tony Grindrod, Sean Delaney, and the entire team at IHP (VINCI Building UK and Sir Robert McAlpine JV) for graciously allowing us to display the board on their project site.

The Family Board stands as a testament to the community spirit at MPB Structures and our unwavering commitment to the health, safety, and well-being of every person on our sites.

MPB Welcomes New Procurement Policy Note Prioritising Skills in Public Contracts
MPB Structures welcomes the recent announcement from the Cabinet Office regarding the new Procurement Policy Note (PPN). Effective from January 2027, the updated framework will double the minimum social value weighting to 20 per cent on government contracts valued at £5 million or more. Most notably, the policy refines social value outcomes to two core criteria: ‘good jobs’ and ‘skills’. This structural change means that apprenticeships, training, and work placements will effectively count for double in the bidding process. As an organisation deeply committed to workforce development, we fully endorse this strategic alignment of public spending with long-term skills generation.
