Marlborough Highways goes the extra mile for Place2Be

  • By Marlborough Highways

Marlborough Highways has donated over £1,000 to London based charity, Place2Be following a fitness challenge for employees called Match My Mile.  Employees at Marlborough took part in the two-week challenge to walk, run, cycle or row as many miles as possible and whatever was accumulated in miles, Marlborough then matched in pounds and donated to Place2Be.

Place2Be is a children’s mental health charity working with pupils, families and staff in UK schools. They provide mental health support in schools through one-to-one and group counselling using tried and tested methods backed by research and Marlborough are really pleased to be able to support them.

Together Marlborough employees recorded a total distance of 1,028.48 miles over the two-week period and Marlborough then matched the miles and donated £1,028.48 to Place2Be.

Matthew Revell, Managing Director said “It’s a real pleasure to be able to donate to Place2Be following our two-week fitness challenge. Place2Be is such a great charity providing mental health support and we really hope it can help make a difference.”

Jade Selby, Head of Community and Events, Place2Be said “The past year has been incredibly challenging for many children and young people. Up to 1.5 million children and young people across the UK will need new or additional mental health support as a direct consequence of Covid-19.

Given this, we are absolutely thrilled that Marlborough Highways have been supporting our work by raising over £1,000 through their Match My Mile fitness challenge. This wonderful support will help ensure that children and young people continue to get the mental health support they need, now more than ever.”

“One of the things I value most is their very collaborative and transparent team culture. It makes a big difference to have a contractor that wants to work closely with us and is supportive and responsive. With Marlborough, I get a team who are attentive, work collaboratively and honestly with me and don’t lose focus on delivering first class communications and compliance.”
Carly Norris, Project Manager Operations, Hackney Council
“From the design stage, Marlborough has been fundamental in delivering the Broad Lane Square improvements scheme. During the works, not only did the team manage to keep to the programme, but they went the extra mile to ensure attention to detail and came up with innovative solutions to address issues encountered on site. My thanks on behalf of Haringey goes out to Marlborough for their dedication to deliver.”
Dana Rasheed, Project Manager, Haringey Council
“Working alongside our Term Service Contractor Marlborough Highways, we successfully completed renovations to the Crowstone Footbridge. The designs were provided by Marlborough, and the work was unique. The scheme was completed to budget and ahead of its programme duration.”
Neil Handley, Senior Engineer, Southend-on-Sea City Council
“I would like to thank you and your team for your efforts, the Marlborough crews were professional, courteous, and hard working all day and ensured the event went without a hitch. You and the team were a credit to the company, demonstrating commitment and support to the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham.”
Nick Davies, Specialist Services Manager, Barking and Dagenham Council
“I just wanted to say what a pleasure it has been to work with Marlborough Highways over the last six months. The quality of work is superb, and there has been some excellent collaboration between Milestone and Marlborough to complete, what at times, has been quite a challenging scheme. I hope to work with Marlborough on another project in the near future.”
Colin Hill, Schemes Manager, Milestone Infrastructure
“Marlborough worked with us in constructing a 1.3km cycle track. There were a number of technical difficulties to overcome, and their gifted foreman worked to propose some innovative solutions to the challenges we faced. The result is a facility that the locals are proud of, providing walkers and cyclists with alternative access to the hospital and nearby school. The scheme was a lot of hard work, but well worth it.”
Rob Venables, NEC Project Manager, Essex County Council
“Marlborough attracts people who take care and have pride in their work. Several gangs of Operatives worked tirelessly for six months to reconstruct drainage networks, lay more than 3km of high quality bespoke granite kerbs and granite channels blocks to ensure positive drainage. The technical compliance, attention to detail and level of quality finish along the entire carriageway was exceptional”.
Mark Chiverrell, Technical Director, Project Centre
“We saw huge benefits in appointing Marlborough as our full service contractor and we’re impressed – they’ve delivered consistent high quality service and superior quality control across every project. Marlborough, provide us with a ‘one-stop’ shop solution – we get the same quality of service and better control across all aspects of the project.”
Darren Bryant, Principal Engineer, Enfield Council
