A fantastic day at Balfour Beatty's recent charity touch rugby tournament 🏉

Our team delivered an excellent performance throughout the day, winning 5 out of 7 matches and narrowly missing out on a place in the final. A great effort from everyone involved and a fantastic example of teamwork and commitment – especially in the sun!

Thank you to Balfour Beatty for organising such a well-run and enjoyable charity event. It was also a great opportunity to connect with teams from across Balfour Beatty and the wider supply chain network.

A successful day all round in support of a worthwhile cause.

We’re pleased to be supporting Balfour Beatty on the Middlewich Eastern Bypass as the project moves into main construction.

It’s great to be part of a scheme that will deliver vital infrastructure for the region. Beyond the build itself, this project will play an important role in easing congestion and creating local employment opportunities during construction.

We look forward to continuing our work alongside Balfour Beatty and contributing to a successful delivery for the local community.

We’ve received the green light to officially get started on the Middlewich Eastern Bypass. 🟢

Following several years of close collaboration with Cheshire East Council we’re pleased to be moving into main construction on this £54 million scheme, which will see us deliver a new 2.5km carriageway, two new junctions and bridges as well as integrated active travel infrastructure.

Once complete, the project will ease congestion and improve journey reliability, while during construction it will support up to 150 jobs at peak, creating lasting value across the region.

🏆 Proud moment for McDermotts!

We are delighted to share that our Supervisor, Eddie Logan, has been awarded the Golden Rules Champion Award at the Balfour Beatty VINCI (BBV) Supervisors Forum.

The event brings together teams from across the supply chain to share updates, strengthen collaboration, and recognise outstanding performance across projects.

Eddie’s award is a well-deserved recognition of his exceptional commitment to health, safety and teamwork. He consistently demonstrates the values that sit at the heart of both McDermotts and BBV, and plays a key role in promoting and embedding the BBV Golden Rules, ensuring safety remains the top priority every day.

👏 Eddie was recognised for going above and beyond in his role, acting as a trusted point of contact on site and supporting colleagues with guidance, problem-solving, and a proactive, hands-on approach to safety.

This achievement reflects not only Eddie’s personal dedication, but also the strong collaborative culture between McDermotts and BBV.

A fantastic and well-deserved recognition - congratulations, Eddie! 👏

We’re proud to share the impact of our recent community project at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Nechells, Aston.

Located just one mile from our Head Office, the initiative was particularly close to home. Six of our apprentices spent a full week working together to transform the church’s outdoor space and deliver meaningful improvements for the local community.

The team carried out a range of enhancement works including litter picking, site clearance, strimming, grass cutting, and general tidying - helping to revitalise a well-used community space and create a cleaner, more welcoming environment.

With guidance from Chris Millward of Team4Nature, the apprentices also gained valuable insight into biodiversity and the importance of protecting local wildlife, adding real purpose to the project.

A big thank you to our partners at Salutem Limited and to our apprentices for their hard work and enthusiasm throughout the week.

We’re proud to support the local community and look forward to seeing the space continue to thrive. 🌿👷‍♂️

Did you visit Crufts at the NEC at the weekend? If so, you are likely to have seen a McDermotts presence on the Therapy Dogs Nationwide stand.🐶

With people and communities at the heart of our business values, we are proud to have sponsored the Bonnie Burn Cup, recognising the dedicated volunteers who support children's personal development in schools through the Bark and Read Programme.

Presenting the award on behalf of McDermotts was Dean Hanley, who in his spare time is a volunteer for the Therapy Dogs Nationwide charity, together with his dog Ken who is a trained therapy dog.

We were also delighted that our apprentices volunteered their time to help build the charity’s stand at the NEC ahead of the event.
