Silver at the Internal Communications and Engagements Awards

Our Marketing and Communications team are celebrating success after picking up a silver award for ‘Best Event’ at last night’s virtual Internal Communications and Engagement Awards.

Congratulations to our Marketing and Communications team for being presented with a silver award at the Internal Communications and Engagement Awards for ‘Best Event’.

The awards recognise the impact internal communications and employee engagement have on their company. All the winners represent those setting the standards for excellence in internal communications.

Last year, we brought together clients, supply chain partners, former employees, our people and their families, to celebrate our 150th anniversary. Local schools were invited to an immersive exhibition to learn more about the industry with the aim of inspiring future generations of construction professionals.

Events Manager, Laura McKinney, worked with colleagues in the Marketing and Communications team to build the exhibition and create a series of engaging activities across two locations (London and Manchester) that gathered 2,500 people over 6 days and made our 150th year memorable. 

The anniversary was also an opportunity for the team to refresh the branding and launch a new website, positioning the brand as a future focused, forward thinking, modern company.

The event created a lasting legacy both in the good will and strengthened relationships borne of celebrating together, but also in a series of scale models of our construction projects, exhibition stands, a Lego mosaic, now proudly displayed in the company’s head office, a company music playlist created by staff across the company and a commemorative coffee table book showcasing the event.

Our 150th Anniversary celebrations

I think to me it's an opportunity to
welcome staff to celebrate the success
of the last 150 years epitomizes for me
what an inclusive environment and
culture Sir Robert MacAlpine is and it's
just fantastic to be able to celebrate
that we tried to create this total from
the 50 year journey walk you through the
Glenfinnan viaduct it will take you
right through some of the amazing
projects we've done so you get a sense
of what contribution have we made to
britain's infrastructure over those
hundred and fifty years to be at a
function on like this it's brilliant
it really is good it just shows what
kind of come where I think it's
fantastic it's great to see the family
business and the families out the other
day yes
