Construction firm chosen for Birmingham Children’s Hospital project

Representatives from Birmingham Children’s Hospital and Charity

BSN Group Construction has been selected as the contractor for the transformation of the entrance at Birmingham Children’s Hospital.

The hospital hopes to create a more welcoming and child-friendly space that better reflects the care provided at the hospital, helping to ease anxiety for young patients ahead of their appointments.

In July 2024, Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity launched a £3m appeal, named “It Starts Here,” to revamp the entrance area.

With more than half of the necessary funds already raised through gifts and pledges, BSN was chosen after a two-stage procurement process.

Matt Boazman, chief executive officer at Birmingham Children’s Hospital, said: “A patient’s fear and anxiety can significantly impact their overall hospital experience. No child should feel intimidated about walking through our front door. By transforming our entrance, we hope to align every experience with the excellent care received inside. We’re delighted to be working with BSN Group Construction to make it a reality.” 

Mark Brider, chief executive officer of Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity said: “Our world-renowned hospital cares for over 100,000 of the UK’s sickest kids every year, however, our front entrance doesn’t reflect this. We’re so grateful to everyone who has donated to our £3m appeal which has allowed us to appoint BSN Group Construction.

“The passion and understanding the team showed for what we’re trying to achieve was exceptional and we look forward to completely changing the experiences of our children and families. We still have a little way to go to hit target and urge the public to still donate to help us make our new entrance a reality.”
