MGL Group Celebrates Social Value Milestones in Durham Project

MGL Group is proud to be part of the delivery team for Durham Constabulary’s new Investigative Hub. MGL Earthworks has carried out bulk excavation, and Rainton Construction is undertaking the foundations and drainage.

A key focus of the project is to maximise social value from the build, including creating new sustainable jobs, work placements, and apprenticeship opportunities that will all provide long-term benefits for the local community.

The project team has already exceeded the majority of their initial social value targets, with more than £10 million spent with local County Durham-based businesses. It has also created new employment and work experience placements. The team has also volunteered over 150 hours with local charities, including DASH and St Cuthbert’s Hospice.

To celebrate the project’s fantastic social value achievements, our Business Development Director, Simon Martin, visited the site with other key stakeholders, including Joy Allen, the Police and Crime Commissioner for County Durham and Darlington, representatives from Durham Constabulary, and local businesses and charities.

The outstanding new facility is already providing benefits to the local community, long before the project’s completion.
