At MPB Structures social value is not an add-on, it is embedded into how we plan, deliver, and measure success across our business. Here at MPB we are committed to delivering meaningful social value on every project with a positive commitment made in 2024, to a 5-year training model that will deliver £4.9m of social value back into the industry.
Our approach ensures that alongside high-quality construction, we create lasting benefits for local communities, economies, and the environment.
Driven at Board level and aligned with the Procurement Act 2023 and leading frameworks, our approach focuses on delivering measurable, real-world impact.
“By investing in our people, we not only enhance their individual growth but also strengthen our organisation as a whole. This translates to increased innovation, higher quality work, and ultimately, greater satisfaction for our clients.”
Our structured approach ensures every project delivers quantifiable outcomes, supported by recognised frameworks such as TOMs.
Over £500,000 invested annually in training and workforce development
A minimum 20% local workforce recruitment target
Extensive training programmes including apprenticeships, placements, and NVQ qualifications
More than £4.9 million of measurable social value delivered through our initiatives
Social value is embedded at the heart of MPB Structures, driven at Board level and integrated across all business functions to ensure consistency, accountability and continuous improvement.
Our commitment ensures that social value is not an add-on, but a fundamental component of how we plan, deliver and measure success. We play an active role in shaping the national skills agenda through engagement with organisations such as CONSTRUCT, YouthBuild UK and the Apprenticeship Ambassador Network. Our leadership is exemplified by Martyn Price MBE, Business and People Development Director, who holds key roles including Chair of Constructure, former CITB Board Member and contributor to the Department for Education’s Construction T-Level Panel.
This ensures our approach is aligned with industry best practice and future workforce requirements. We reinforce this commitment through sustained investment, exceeding £500,000 annually in training and development, ensuring the long-term growth of skills and capability across the construction sector.
We work in partnership with local authorities, education providers, and community organisations to create genuine opportunities. From training academies and employment pathways to careers events and outreach programmes, our projects actively support social mobility and long-term skills development.
By prioritising local suppliers and SMEs, we ensure investment is retained within regional economies. Our collaborative supply chain approach creates opportunity, builds capability, and supports sustainable economic growth in the communities where we operate.
Using digital tools and recognised reporting frameworks, we track and measure social value in real time providing clients with clear, auditable evidence of delivery and impact.
At MPB Structures, our goal is simple: to leave every project better than we found it. By combining strong leadership, targeted investment, and measurable outcomes, we deliver social value that extends far beyond construction.
