Getting on our bikes…

Over the summer, several of our team took to two wheels to join various cycling challenges and events. Civil engineering director Tony Goddard and associate structural engineer Gareth Ellison, accompanied by business development manager Carrie Booth in a support vehicle, completed the 100-mile C2C2C charity cycle ride in Lincolnshire. Tony and Carrie have also taken part in the Continuing Pedals Development cycling sessions in Leicester, while Gareth joined Prop Cycle in Nottinghamshire for a monthly networking ride.

Early in September, BSP once again teamed up with architects YMD Boon to host a cycling session at Derby Velodrome. Tony, Carrie, associate director Monika Anszperger and structural engineer Dan Gillen hosted on behalf of BSP, while the YMD Boon hosts were Ajay Chauhan, Steve Day, Kevin Cahill, Shari Setayesh and Katie Ford.

BSP is a big supporter of cycling and runs a popular Cycle to Work Scheme to help staff purchase new bikes. Associate Gareth Ellison, structural engineer Thanos Fotiou and structural engineering technician Danny Doherty have all recently taken advantage of the scheme to purchase new bikes.

Work experience

BSP is a keen supporter of the next generation of professionals and has hosted a number of youngsters on work experience recently.

This included a year 12 student from The Ecclesbourne School who joined our Derby office for three days in July, a 15-year-old from Toot Hill School at Bingham, who spent time in our Nottingham office, and a year 10 student who undertook a week of work experience split between the civils and the structures team in Nottingham.
