MEPC Birchwood Park Pyjama Day raises over £500

From the iconic comic book hero, Superman, to a rather large penguin, the MEPC Birchwood Park team and our occupiers sported a very different dress code last Friday in support of our nominated charity, The Lullaby Trust.

Giving a whole new meaning to dress down Fridays, Birchwood Park’s charity Pyjama Day raised just over £500. Great thanks in particular goes to A-Plant, Atkins, First Recruitment and the team at The Centre and our cafĂ© outlets for their support!

The UK’s leading baby charity, The Lullaby Trust, aims to prevent unexpected deaths in infancy and promote infant health. Operating throughout the country, the charity supports families whose babies have died suddenly and unexpectedly.

The cot death charity was chosen after being nominated by one of our occupiers national equipment hire company, A-Plant,. The Park will hold a series of initiatives throughout the year to help raise money for families in the North West area.


Twinfix helps to transform Birchwood Park's shelters

Twinfix, specialist manufacturer of bespoke polycarbonate canopies, shelters and rooflights – and longstanding Park occupier – has designed and built a sleek new bike shelter for Birchwood Park.

The cutting-edge design, which will protect occupiers’ motorcycles from the North West’s elements, was created by new, upcoming talent, Rob Forsythe, and the project took just three weekends to complete.

Twinfix Director, Victoria Evans, said: “As an occupier on the park for over 13 years, we have a longstanding relationship with the team at Birchwood Park and are delighted to have been selected to design, construct and install the new motorcycle shelter.

“We wanted to create something truly bespoke which would act as both a stylish feature and a practical asset. The elegant design, paired with the Park’s modern new buildings, creates a space that is in keeping with the Park’s vision.”

A family business established more than 22 years ago, Twinfix now employs more than 60 local industry professionals and has worked on key national projects, including the Millennium Dome.

Commenting on the motorcycle shelter, MEPC Birchwood Park Managing Director, Jonathan Walsh, said: “It’s fantastic to see the talent and expertise of our occupiers shape the development of Birchwood Park.

“The team at Twinfix has exceeded our expectations on this project and we hope to work with them on future developments across the park.”

The motorcycle shelter boasts a central location on the park and is situated just outside The Centre, next to Chadwick House.


Stride into summer with Birchwood Park

Summer has finally arrived at Birchwood Park and to help you make the most of the good weather, we’ve planned a number of activities and events all around the park!

Throughout summer, we’ll be putting on a big pan and BBQ with live music every Wednesday, come rain or shine. We have a great line-up of music acts and will be serving the classic favourites as well as a vegetarian option.

To help you get fit and active, Birchwood Park has put together a walking map of the park so you can stretch your legs and take a stroll in the sun. You can also take in a little art and culture on the trail as you pass the park’s striking sculptures.

Or if you’d like to push your limits, you can join the Alive and Well team for bootcamp every Tuesday and Thursday evening and Saturday mornings. It’s free for gym members and just £5 for non-members – each session is designed to get your heart rate up and stress levels down!

For those of you who enjoy being in the garden, why not continue your hobby at work? Our allotments are the perfect way to get a little fresh air and make the most of your lunch hour.

Alternatively, if you really want to relax, you can simply take some time to sit in the sunshine and watch the world go by. There is plenty of outdoor seating and grassy areas at the park for occupiers to make use of throughout the summer months.
