Construction is underway on a new public amenity hub at Mercia Park, the 3.5 million sq. ft manufacturing and logistics development owned by IM Properties. Located off Junction 11 of the M42 motorway, the scheme provided a ‘hub’ for its community-focused infrastructure.

Mercia Park includes extensive public open space designed by BEA, with thoughtfully planned pathways for use by local residents and employees based on site. The new hub has been created to integrate seamlessly with the wider Mercia Park development while enhancing accessibility and wellbeing.

Planned features include secure bicycle stands, dedicated car parking, a woodland setting, and a breakout seating area complete with a striking public art wall. The space is expected to benefit walkers and cyclists, further strengthening connections between the business park and the surrounding community.

Further updates on the project will be shared as construction progresses.

We are delighted to announce our appointment by Midlands Air Ambulance Charity to design a new ‘Garden of Reflection’ at their headquarters in RAF Cosford.

The thoughtfully designed garden will offer a dedicated space for bereaved families, friends, and supporters of the charity to remember and celebrate the lives of loved ones. Created as a peaceful and secure environment, the garden will provide an opportunity for quiet reflection, remembrance, and personal tribute.

This meaningful addition to the site will complement the ongoing work of the charity’s Patient Liaison Team, who support individuals and families through their grieving journey.

Arboricultural work at the site of the former Axis Building on Holliday Street in Birmingham has started.  

To protect the sites numerous 50+ year old London Plane (Platanus x hispanica) trees, Suction Excavators hired from HV Excavators ltd, supervised by our colleagues, have been used, alongside an Air Spade, to remove loosened soil to uncover tree roots which are then noted and protected from heavy construction.

Once the existing trees are protected, development will continue and eventually deliver the ‘Goods Station’ featuring mixed-use development on the site of the former Axis building.

We’re proud to have been involved in the landscaping for the project at Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration.

It’s been fantastic to contribute to such a meaningful development, and we’re excited to see it open to the public in May 2026!
