CPD session on landscape architecture
Twelve members of the BSP team took part in a Continuing Professional Development session led by Dave Singleton, of DSA Environment + Design – Landscape Architects.
The event was part of BSP’s Lunch and Learn programme – supporting staff with CPD.
Entitled Using Engineering to Make Places, the presentation focused on a number of projects that BSP and DSA Environment + Design have worked on together in the past to create species-rich habitats, Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) and other biodiverse and sustainable features.
Mentioned in the presentation was Birkett House School in Leicestershire which went on to achieve a prestigious Green Apple Award for its innovative sustainable drainage system created by BSP Consulting and DSA Environment + Design.
Golf Day
BSP Consulting fielded a team in the Woodhead Group Charity Golf Day in aid of charity.
BSP director Paul Elphick and BSP senior civil engineer Oliver Dike along with guests Ian Humphries from Corstorphine & Wright and Daryl Woolley from Pulse Associates flew the flag for the company.
The event, which was held at Nottinghamshire Golf Club, raised more than £3,600 to be split between Nottinghamshire Mind, Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance, and Edwinstowe and Dukeries Lions Club.

Sporting success
Congratulations to civil engineering graduate James Ealden who has achieved double success by being part of two teams that won British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) championships.
