A note from our Managing Director
Hi Everyone, As we hit the halfway mark of the year, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on what has been an incredibly busy and rewarding time for all of us at BSN Group. We have welcomed some fantastic new team members who have already started making a difference with their fresh ideas and energy. It has been amazing to see how everyone has pulled together, not just on our projects, but also in our charity and community efforts. From abseiling for Birmingham Women and Children’s Hospital to our Five-a-Side Football Tournament for Ardenleigh Hospital, we have been out there making a real impact. Plus, our new Charity Team is planning even more events to support local causes close to our hearts. And let us not forget the ambitious plan for some of our team to climb Kilimanjaro next year – all in the name of charity! On a broader note, the local economy has been a mixed bag. We have seen some promising signs of growth, but there are still challenges ahead. It is going to be interesting to see how things unfold and what it means for our industry. Here’s to a successful second half of the year, filled with more achievements and community spirit.
We are thrilled to announce that BSN Construction Group has earned a spot in the Sunday Times Hundred 2024! This incredible achievement of 84% growth, reflects the hard work and passion of our entire team. Every member has been crucial to our growth and success. Darren Perry says: “This recognition reflects the relentless effort and commitment of our staff. Their dedication to excellence drives our growth. Thank you to our fantastic team and loyal clients.” We are proud of this accomplishment and excited about the future. Here’s to many more milestones together!

Woodlands Hospital Bereavement Centre Birmingham completed project - Birmingham Women’s Hospital
Type | New Build Value | £4.2m Duration | 48 weeks Architect | PHD Architects QS | Vital Services
This is an exceptionally crucial new building for the Women’s Hospital. The new facility is unprecedented in the UK, being the first bespoke building specifically designed for bereaved parents following the loss of their baby. Constructed on the last remaining land available at the Women’s Hospital, situated in a small area behind the main hospital, the project faced tight access and limited storage, necessitating ‘just in time’ deliveries and careful logistics planning. Secured through an open tender process, we collaborated with the NHS team to reduce the initial tender that exceeded the budget. Our Value Engineering efforts included changing external walls to SFS construction, reducing steelwork, and redesigning foundations. The traditional construction features a green roof, a long connecting corridor to the ICU, and high levels of security. The aesthetically pleasing building comprises individual family rooms, soft finishes, a courtyard, and external works.
