And finally… Taylor Wimpey launches children’s book

Taylor Wimpey has announced the launch of its first children’s book which aims to educate children about the house building process.

How we build your home with Millie Mortar and Handy Andy’ is an informative book, suitable for children of primary school age, with important messages about how to stay safe around construction sites and housing developments.

Through a series of illustrations and activities, ‘How we build your home with Millie Mortar and Handy Andy’ follows the Taylor Wimpey characters through all the stages of the house building process.

Written specifically with young people in mind, the book will be shared with school children throughout the UK as part of the housebuilder’s commitment to educating young people about the work they do. Taylor Wimpey also hopes that the book will inspire the next generation of builders.



Clare Brimble, UK sales and marketing director at Taylor Wimpey, said: “We are really excited to release our first children’s book and everyone at Taylor Wimpey is incredibly proud of the finished product. As well as teaching youngsters about the house building process, ‘How we build your home with Millie Mortar and Handy Andy’ runs through a number of important health and safety messages in a fun and understandable way that we hope children will respond well to. Our work extends far beyond just building houses and we are committed to engaging with local communities to help them to understand the work we do in their area.”
