Work has just started on Phase 4 of the Dudley Road improvement scheme for Birmingham City Council โ€“ and we couldn't be more pleased to be part of it.

This final phase will deliver a new protected cycle route separate from cars and pedestrians, running along the front of the former City Hospital and Birmingham Treatment Centre.

It's all about making Birmingham safer, greener and better connected for everyone who lives, works and travels there. ๐Ÿšด๐Ÿšถ

We're almost finished on site at Worcester Street, Kidderminster, for Wyre Forest District Council .

Just a few finishing touches to go into place, including resin-bonded gravel paths and some planting. ๐ŸŒฑ

The new play area is ready for its first visitors too.

This park and walkway have transformed the centre of Kidderminster, making it easier for shoppers and visitors to get from one side of town to the other.

As work carries on at Addenbrooke House, we welcomed visitors from Telford & Wrekin Council and staff from Telford College , who will eventually call the building home, to see how progress is taking shape inside.

The centre will house state-of-the-art science labs for physics, biology and chemistry, a drama studio, an arts studio and a specialist library, with opening planned for September 2026.

๐Ÿ—๏ธ As Careers Week comes to an end, we're celebrating the incredible people who make McPhillips what it is.

Did you know that more than 20% of our team started their journey with us as apprentices? Or that 48 of our colleagues have been with us for 25 years or more?

We're proud to show that a career in construction really can be a career for life. Our apprenticeship programme, run with Telford College , has helped so many people grow from trainees into senior roles.

If you know a young person who's weighing up their options, tell them to take a look at construction. The opportunities are genuinely limitless.

Weโ€™re proud to recognise two of McPhillipsโ€™ longest-serving colleagues Matt Crowther and Michael Oliver who have each completed 25 years with us.

They were presented with engraved watches by the directors in recognition of their quarter-century of commitment. Matt (gateman) and Michael (foreman) have helped shape our growth and culture for more than two decades.

Their loyalty and dedication over 25 years is exceptional and testament to their professionalism and work ethic.

Thank you both, here's to many more years! ๐Ÿ‘

๐Ÿ—๏ธ To mark Women in Construction Week and Careers Week, we're shining a light on the work our team is doing to open up our industry to a more diverse and talented future workforce.

Recently, our social value coordinator Emily Myatt and colleagues Dan Redmond, contracts manager, and Andy Sykes, site manager, spent two days at George Eliot Academy in Nuneaton talking to approximately 300 students about careers in construction and civil engineering and helping them to discover the transferable skills they already have.

As part of our commitment as a Marches Careers Hub Cornerstone Employer we did something very similar at Idsall School in Shifnal and if that's not enough our SHEQ manager Stuart Bishop and other members of the team have been busy attending careers events at both Telford College , Shrewsbury College and NMITE in Hereford over the last couple of months.

The roadshow continues this week with a trip to the Warwickshire Skills Show, Ercall Wood Academy , Madeley Academy Sixth Form and a return to Telford College so if you see us about, come and say hello.

We always love seeing new residents enjoying their homes, especially ones created by us, and the giraffes and zebras at Chester Zoo are no exception!

Our team redeveloped eight acres of existing animal habitats to create a stunning new African savannah and it looks like we've got an official seal of approval from the giraffes! ๐Ÿฆ’

This week we've celebrated some of the brilliant apprentices here at McPhillips. ๐Ÿ‘ท

From first-years just starting out, to those progressing into leadership roles.

But what really matters is the commitment we make to them. ๐Ÿ’ช

Stuart Bishop, our SHEQ manager who oversees the apprenticeship scheme, sums it up:

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ "We have a good, ongoing collaboration with Telford College. We're able to provide direct feedback to college staff, so that our apprentices receive site-specific mentoring to bridge gaps between classroom learning and site realities."

"We value apprentices who stand out by demonstrating commitment and skill. These are the individuals who often progress to site management or other leadership roles. The more they're invested in their apprenticeship, the more likely they are to successfully progress into long-term construction careers."

That's what sets our scheme apart. It's genuine investment in people's futures.

๐Ÿ‘ท Apprentice Spotlight: Tom Floyd

Tom completed his NVQ Level 2 in Construction Operative back in 2024 and hasn't stopped learning since. Now 21, he's been with us for almost four years and has worked on loads of different projects.

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ "I'm currently working on our Coventry project, installing a clean water pipe for Severn Trent," says Tom. "I would definitely recommend an apprenticeship in construction โ€“ it's a really good way to start your career."

Since completing his apprenticeship, Tom has taken numerous courses including confined spaces, First Aid Level 3, slinger/signaller training and ride on roller certifications. He's now completing his SSSTS supervisor course in March โ€“ a huge milestone he's been working towards.
