MTX Contracts, a specialist in constructing state-of-the-art healthcare facilities, has appointed Tamara Karim as its new Social Value Manager.
Karim's role will be pivotal in crafting and executing a social value strategy aimed at positioning MTX as a frontrunner in social value and sustainability, aiming to enhance the well-being and quality of life for individuals and communities.
For MTX, this means more than just building healthcare facilities. It is about creating meaningful employment opportunities, supporting local businesses, promoting education and skills development, and fostering a healthier environment.

Karim is enthusiastic about MTX's potential to make a significant impact. She said: "MTX already stands out with its exemplary work for the NHS and health trusts across the UK. Over the past 40 years, MTX has delivered over 300 operating theatres and 2,500 compliant bed spaces, providing essential specialist facilities and ward accommodations," she said.
"By delivering these facilities faster and more cost-effectively, patients receive care sooner, bed spaces are freed up, and patient recovery is enhanced. This also means health trusts see an earlier return on their investment, easing financial pressures," Karim added.
"The potential is immense. Through our engagement with diverse communities, we aim to enhance lives, particularly for young people, by fostering their aspirations and providing opportunities to learn about businesses like MTX," Karim continued.
Karim is set to implement systems that will better recognise and evaluate MTX's social value activities.

This includes launching initiatives like supporting schools and engaging with local communities. A recent fundraising event in aid of men’s health charity ‘Ball Tampering Allowed’, raised over £57,000 to support individuals in the North West affected by cancer, with more initiatives on the horizon.
David Hartley, MTX Managing Director, said: "With Tamara at the helm of MTX's social value strategy, we are well positioned to elevate our impact; driving positive change and sustainable growth across the UK."
