Mark Stephen Hunt, Managing Director – International, expressed his pride: "Achieving our first RoSPA Gold Medal is a proud moment for the international team. It reflects our shared commitment to safety and the consistent efforts of our people."

Alan Blanchett, Group HSEA Director, added: "This is fantastic news and a proud moment for everyone at McLaren. Securing these awards is a testament to the unwavering commitment of our teams to uphold the highest standards of health and safety. It reflects not only our dedication to protecting our people but also how we live our values - collaboration, integrity, and excellence - every day. These achievements belongs to every colleague who champions safety in their work."

Entrants to the RoSPA Awards are assessed against rigorous criteria, positioning McLaren Construction as a global leader in shaping safer, healthier workplaces. The awards process itself is also highlighted as a valuable tool for reflective practice and contributing to continuing professional development (CPD).

Julia Small, RoSPA's Growth Director, commended McLaren Construction: "McLaren Construction should be proud of the hard work and commitment to keeping people safe that has resulted in a RoSPA Award, which honours those organisations who have achieved the highest standards in health and safety in the workplace." She further stated that RoSPA regards McLaren Construction as a strong example of prioritising accident prevention for the benefit of employees, customers, clients, and society as a whole.
