Congratulations to Tim Setchell and John Brands, two of the winners of the Briggs & Forrester Special Projects Valentine’s Raffle earlier today.
The raffle is to raise funds for The Brain Tumour Charity – the running total stands at over £100 so well done everyone involved!

We’re pleased to announce that the Briggs and Forrester Group offices in Northampton have been awarded a Greener Path Award for ‘Zero Waste to Landfill’.
The awards, created by ACM Environmental Champions, celebrate the work that businesses around the UK do to reduce the impact that they have on the environment. They focus on minimising waste, boosting recycling and increasing landfill diversion. Well done to our employees for their everyday recycling habits, and special mention to our cleaners for all their hard work.

Congratulations to our team at Wandsworth who have been awarded a Health and Safety Award by Galliford Try.
The Wandsworth Riverside Quarter project is a 13 storey tower of apartments and commercial units. The monthly award is based on a variety of criteria including complexity of works, number of operatives and Serious Safety Event Rate. They also selected a stand out operative for their particular focus on H&S – and B&F electrician Elvis Shadrawry was the lucky recipient! We’re not sure if he celebrated with a song though!

Our teams in Bristol and Birmingham supported two local charities last year, Above & Beyond in Bristol, and Birmingham Children’s Hospital. Their fundraising efforts, including Dress Down Friday’s, a Grand Raffle and a weekly football card competition, raised the fantastic total of £1,000 which was split equally between the two charities. Well done everyone!

Many thanks to Barkell for their hospitality – project teams from Briggs & Forrester, Grontmij, Brookfield Multiplex and Barkell came together recently for a factory test of the Barkell Air Handling Unit, ready for the 98 Fetter Lane commercial and retail project in London.

Thank you to Andy and the team from Rehau who visited our Northampton Head Office yesterday.
Briggs and Forrester have worked with the company on a wide variety of projects over many years. It was a great chance for our employees from across the business to learn more about the extensive range of heating, cooling and ground source solutions that they produce.

It was a chilly but challenging football competition recently amongst the Briggs and Forrester Engineering Services Division in Northampton. Victory was sweet for the ‘Upstairs’ team with a 21-6 win over the ‘Downstairs’ team!
