Phoenix ME

A huge congratulations to the Phoenix ME team – Andy Bown, Robert O'Donovan, paul rawlings, Cameron Maxwell, Sam Williams, and Rob Sayward on their victory in the London Landmarks Rowing Challenge! The team took on an impressive route along the Thames, from Chelsea to Greenwich, passing iconic landmarks like Tower Bridge, and also beat their fundraising target. Their hard work and energy were all in support of The AHOY Centre, a watersports charity based in one of London’s most under-resourced communities. The charity creates life-changing opportunities for disadvantaged and at-risk young people, while also empowering disabled individuals to participate equally in activities and training programmes.

Further footage from our Oxford Science Park project showcases a key milestone in action, the precision lift and installation of the Prefabricated Riser Modules, carried out in collaboration with Mace, Hoare Lea (Oxford) and J A Brooks. This video captures the seamless execution and coordination involved as the risers, AHUs, Chillers, and Air Source Heat Pumps were installed. Every element was carefully planned and delivered with outstanding engineering and teamwork across all disciplines. It’s a great snapshot of the level of detail and collaboration that defines this project. With this major stage now complete for the first building, our focus moves to the next milestone: installing the packaged plant rooms. Fantastic work by everyone contributing to the continued progress at The Oxford Science Park (TOSP)

Last week, members of our team were proud to volunteer at the Pullen Day Centre in Westminster, as part of our ongoing commitment to supporting social value initiatives in the communities around our projects. The Pullen Day Centre provides vital weekday care for older adults living with mobility challenges and dementia. Their incredible work includes preparing meals, organising games, and arranging escorted outings all of which have a meaningful impact on the health and wellbeing of their clients. Our team donated a selection of plants, flowers, and herbs, which we planted alongside some of the centre’s attendees. We also helped tidy up the garden and seating area to create a welcoming, refreshed space where both staff and visitors can relax and enjoy the summer sunshine.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at our Skyline Summer Party in London last week. It was a pleasure to host the event and catch up with some of our clients in a more relaxed setting. With sublime weather and impressive views of London’s iconic skyline, it was the perfect backdrop for valuable conversations and meaningful connections. Guests enjoyed great dishes, flowing cocktails, and live entertainment that brought the evening to life. We truly value all of our clients and thank you for your ongoing partnerships. Here's to more collaboration and continued growth.

Project Update - 41 Lothbury A key milestone was achieved at 41 Lothbury, where we're delivering the project in partnership with Mace Fitout and Retrofit.

A significant milestone was reached this week at our Oxford Science Park project, delivered in close collaboration with Mace and Hoare Lea (Oxford). The precision crane lift and installation of the Prefabricated Riser Modules marked an important phase in the build. Alongside the risers, we’ve also installed the AHUs, Chillers, and Air Source Heat Pumps, all delivered with meticulous planning, coordinated design, and excellent engineering execution. The seamless lift of these large prefabricated units into position is a real testament to the detailed preparation and teamwork across the project team. We’re now looking ahead to the next key milestone: the installation of the packaged plant rooms. Excellent work by all teams involved in achieving this milestone successfully.
