Our commitment to local communities goes far beyond project completion. We finished construction on the Wild Park Rainscape over a year ago, however we were delighted to return this year to support the second annual Wild Park Community Festival.

Building strong community connections has been so important here to help protect the long-term future of the balancing ponds and surrounding green spaces. We're excited for the newly-formed community to take ownership of these assets to ensure they are valued and cared for in years to come.

The key to successful community development is listening. When Trust for Developing Communities told us the event needed toilets to make it accessible and welcoming, our Procurement Team sprung into action, working with our Portaloo supplier to make this happen. We also supported the event with a bouncy castle and food for local families.

"On behalf of TDC, Moulsecoomb Local Action Team and Action for Bevendean Community I wanted to say a big thank you for Mackley’s support with our big Wild Park Community Event last weekend! We had a fabulous day with lots of sunshine and lots of people. We are estimating about 500 people attended throughout the event, and it was a big success with lots of local people known and new connecting with local community and activity groups as well as city-wide services, as well as the lovely Rainscape." Anke, Trust for Developing Communities.

This is what legacy looks like. Not just delivering infrastructure, but continuing to support the communities who benefit long after construction is complete.

Meet Abbey, whose love for the natural world inspired her to pursue a career where she could make a real-world impact.

Passionate about the environment, Abbey was looking for a career that offered a wider range of opportunities and long-term progression.

A soil-sampling field trip helped her realise she could combine her environmental interests with a practical, hands-on career leading her towards her role as an Environmental Technician.

Starting with a geography A level and Environmental Sustainability/Science BTEC progressing to a degree, Abbey developed her knowledge and skills, building a career that brings together her passion for the natural world.

Abbey proves that your route into engineering and construction doesn't have to be a straight line and it's an industry that's much broader than you might think.

This World Mental Health Day, we recognise the importance of looking after our mental health and wellbeing.

Taking good care of our people means looking out for one another, making time to check in and creating an environment where everyone feels able to speak up.

We’re proud to support the Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity, which provides free, confidential emotional, physical and financial wellbeing support to construction workers and their families.

One conversation can make all the difference and sometimes, simply asking “Are you okay?” is the best place to start.

We're proud to have been awarded a place on Pagabo’s £4.29bn National Framework for Civil Engineering, Infrastructure and Enabling Works 2026.

Pagabo is a national public procurement specialist that manages framework agreements on behalf of public sector contracting authorities, with an expert team on hand to drive better outcomes through effective procurement processes.

Rob Samms, Pre-Contract Manager commented: "This framework opens the door to a broad range of public sector civil engineering opportunities, from flood and coastal defence schemes to environmental and maritime infrastructure projects. It's a natural fit for our expertise, and we're looking forward to working with both new and existing clients and suppliers on projects in London and the South East that will make a meaningful difference."

Today we're exploring Steve's incredible career journey.

Steve joined us as a Trainee Engineer on college day release, taking his first steps into the industry while continuing his education.

Fast forward, and he was a Senior Site Engineer, responsible for ensuring the anchor bolts of the Brighton i360’s 162-metre tower were positioned with an accuracy of +/- 0mm. Talk about precision!

But Steve didn’t stop there. He continued to progress through the ranks, becoming a Site Manager, then a Project Manager responsible for some of our largest sites.

Today, Steve is in the final stages of achieving Chartership.

Whether you're starting out through college, an apprenticeship or another route, there are so many opportunities to learn, develop and make a real-world impact.

Official first steps taken on Birnbeck Pier! 🎉 🤩 🙌

Our restoration of the historic Grade II* Listed Birnbeck Pier in Weston marked another important milestone today, with a quarter of the replacement deck now in place!

A small group of guests took the official first steps onto the replacement deck after the fourth of 16 replacement deck spans was lifted into place.

A 160-tonne crane was used to lift the span into position which was itself operating from the 400-tonne jack-up barge moored alongside the pier 🤯

A big thank you to our funders, contractors and officers for their continued hard work and commitment in getting us to this stage. And of course to the dedicated volunteers and all of you who are supporting this project 👏

The remaining deck spans will be installed over the coming months. Birnbeck Pier is due to reopen in summer 2027.

The pier legs are structurally sound. Any repair work needed on them is taking place as the contractor works along the pier.

This is a great opportunity to find out more about the project, learn about the final stages of the works, and hear about some of the challenges and achievements along the way. We'll also be showing never before seen photos and footage captured throughout the construction works, giving a unique behind the scenes look at the scheme.

Members of the project team will be on hand throughout the event, including representatives from Van Oord UK and Ireland, , and JBA Consulting, who will be happy to answer any questions you may have about the project.

The event will also feature an immersive dome experience, where visitors can watch a video from Gilmour & Aitken Ltd explaining how the timber used within the scheme is sustainably sourced and certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).

As we look ahead to our Centenary celebrations next year, we’re taking a moment to reflect on some of the projects that have helped shape the communities around us.

Back in the 1950s, Mackley worked on the transformation of a former Worthing council rubbish tip into what would become a much-loved pleasure park, creating a special green space for generations of local people to enjoy.

From the projects of the past to the infrastructure shaping the future, we’re proud to have played our part in changing the landscape in the right direction.

Only 16.9% of the UK’s engineering workforce is female.
At Mackley we are already at 25% but we're not stopping there.

We're working with schools and colleges to inspire more young women to explore careers in engineering and construction, challenge outdated stereotypes, and discover the incredible opportunities available to them.

From engineering and project management to environmental roles, commercial teams and beyond, there are so many ways to build a rewarding career in our industry.

The future of engineering needs more women. And we're committed to helping make that happen.
