MGL Group Supports Owen Family on DIY SOS: The Big Build

MGL Group was delighted to support the Owen family from Longframlington, which recently featured in series 32 of the BBC’s DIY SOS: The Big Build. We were part of a team of professionals helping renovate their home.

Ex-fireman Gareth and his wife Mary live with their three children north of Morpeth in Northumberland. Their 18-year-old daughter, Bobbie, has complex medical needs that require constant care. Mary has suffered a stroke and now has ongoing problems with her balance and needs help to look after Bobbie. Grandmother Carol now has to also look after great-grandmother Doreen, who has early-stage dementia.

This loving family rely on each other and needs a house that works for all of them. Nick Knowles and his team have built a home that has enabled four generations of family to live together under one roof. Tynedale Roadstone donated an open-graded surface course to create a safe driveway.

DIY SOS has been a popular programme for over 20 years, inspiring viewers and demonstrating the power of community and skilled professionals working together.

We are proud to have been part of the life-changing transformation and wish the Owen family all the best for the future!
