At SMD, we firmly believe that health, wellbeing, and fitness are fundamental to maintaining positive mental health, and they are core values embedded within our culture.

Over the recent Bank Holiday weekend, several members of our team were out pushing their limits and achieving fantastic results across regional events:

Stephen Owens (Director) competed in the ATW St Neots Triathlon, finishing an impressive 7th overall out of 142 participants and 3rd in his age group

Jordan Miles (Multi Trade Supervisor) took on the Milton Keynes Marathon, delivering an outstanding sub 3:06 finish

Both are incredible achievements and a testament to the discipline and dedication required to perform at this level.

Earlier this year, Joe Westwood (Site Manager) stepped into the ring for his first boxing bout—securing a win by unanimous decision, which is no small feat.

At SMD, we are strong advocates for anyone setting personal challenges and goals. Whether it’s endurance events, competitive sport, or simply maintaining a consistent fitness routine, we recognise the importance of pushing yourself, staying disciplined, and balancing commitments across both work and personal life.

Well done to Stephen, Jordan, and Joe, great examples of what commitment and mindset can achieve.

🚀 Inspiring the Next Generation!

This summer, SMD partnered with Inspire2Ignite to deliver the Inspire2Succeed programme, giving students from Hinchingbrooke and St Peter’s Schools a hands-on introduction to construction careers.

Over five days, students:
💡 Researched the industry and prepared interviews
🎥 Captured footage on our live Dunton CofE Junior School site
🤝 Interviewed our SMD team to learn about career pathways
🎤 Presented their work to industry professionals

The students even created their own youth media agency, Foundations, showing how solid foundations – in construction and skills – are key to future success.

We’re excited to continue this work with new programmes, including the Curious About Construction course, and upcoming sessions at Ernulf Academy and Paine’s Mill.
