Although every effort is made to return or reuse pallets on our construction sites, almost all material deliveries rely on them, so they can often build up on sites. At our Materials Innovation Factory project at the University of Liverpool, the team decided to upcycle them into furniture!

Do you live or work near a construction site? With over 60 sites up and down the country, it may even be one of ours. At BAM, many of our projects last many months – or even years – so we are committed to being a good neighbour.

Before doing my work experience placement at BAM I would have said that construction is mainly for men and that there are limited jobs within the industry - the main ones being architects, project managers and brick layers.

The Malvern Spring Festival lasts four days every year, but for me and several schools across the three counties of Hereford, Gloucestershire and Worcestershire, it all begins several months earlier.
