The development was supported by extensive external works, including service yards, parking facilities, drainage infrastructure, landscaping and incoming services.
Delivering Social Value in Biggleswade
Creating a positive legacy within the local community was a key focus throughout the project.
VolkerFitzpatrick worked closely with local supply chain partners and supported employment opportunities through apprenticeships, work placements and community engagement initiatives. The team also contributed to a range of local causes, including support for Biggleswade Food Bank and fundraising activities for regional charities.
As part of its volunteering programme, team members and project partners supported the Herald Resource Centre, operated by learning disability charity Hft, helping to transform outdoor spaces into a more welcoming and usable environment for the people supported by the organisation.
These initiatives formed part of a broader commitment to delivering meaningful social value alongside the successful completion of a major infrastructure and industrial development for the local area.
