Activity Book Donation
In April, our project team donated 100 activity books to children’s wards at St Richard’s Hospital, reinforcing our ongoing commitment to the local community and the strong relationships developed throughout the project. The books were professionally designed and printed by Hobs Reprographics.
Chichester College Site Visit
We welcomed nine first-year students from Chichester College, currently studying a rotational multi-skills course, for an interactive site visit. The students engaged with our supply chain partner, Paine Manwaring Ltd, and were given a comprehensive tour of the project.
As part of the visit, students were set a practical challenge to plan a concrete pour, considering material selection, methodology, and logistics. This was followed by a live pour on site, where the team explained real-time decision-making and best practice.
