MPB is proud to announce its involvement in the ‘Skills for the Future’ initiative at the Therme Manchester site, reinforcing our commitment to developing the next generation of construction professionals.
We are pleased to share our recent collaboration with Therme Manchester during a dedicated careers and skills event held at the landmark TraffordCity development. As the UK’s first urban wellbeing resort begins to take shape, MPB is playing a vital role not only in the physical construction but also in fostering the talent required to deliver such a complex and visionary project.
Developing Local Talent
The ‘Skills for the Future’ event brought together industry leaders, educational partners, and aspiring professionals to explore the diverse career pathways within the modern construction sector. As a company that values expertise and precision, we believe it is essential to engage with the local community to showcase the rewarding opportunities available in specialist civil engineering and concrete structures.
Therme Manchester is set to be a world-class destination, and the scale of the project requires a highly skilled workforce. By participating in this initiative, we aim to bridge the skills gap and provide clear routes for young people into the industry, ensuring that the legacy of this project extends beyond the finished resort.
A Commitment to Excellence
Our involvement in this initiative aligns with our broader corporate social responsibility goals. We recognise that the future of the UK construction industry depends on the investment we make today in training and education. Through our presence at TraffordCity, we are providing first-hand insights into the technical challenges and innovative solutions that define MPB’s approach to large-scale infrastructure.
Commentary from Martyn Price MBE
Martyn Price MBE, Chairman of MPB, attended the event and shared his thoughts on the importance of industry collaboration in workforce development:
“It is a privilege for MPB to support Therme Manchester in this vital initiative. Projects of this magnitude offer a unique platform to inspire the next generation of builders, engineers, and planners. At MPB, we remain steadfast in our commitment to vocational training and apprenticeships. By working alongside partners like Therme, we are ensuring that the local workforce is equipped with the specialist skills necessary to deliver the infrastructure of tomorrow.”
Looking Ahead
As construction progresses at the 28-acre site, MPB will continue to uphold the highest standards of professional conduct and technical delivery. We look forward to our continued partnership with Therme Manchester and to seeing the positive impact this development will have on the Greater Manchester region and the wider construction industry.
