CECA Midlands

Will you be joining us at our first HR event? In 2024, we partnered with Weightmans to offer HR support to CECA Midlands members. As part of this, we will be hosting our first HR event where we will focus on the key reforms from the Employment Rights Bill and the practical steps that organisations should be taking in readiness. Hosted at the Arcadis office in Birmingham on Tuesday 25 February at 9.30am, we will also be joined by Nicola Pease from Timewise and Kate Walker from Diabetes Safety Organisation. This event is free to full CECA and Associate members.

When we get an opportunity to visit a site, we jump at the chance 👷♀️ McPhillips (Wellington) Limited recently invited us to their public realm works in Kidderminster. This project includes repurposing the old Woolworths site into a welcoming green space with a park and eating area. In 12 months, the site team will have: Tackled a 10 metre elevation ✅ Erected a specialist retaining wall to join the sections of the site ✅ Installed 3 attenuation tanks - one 6 metres deep ✅ Added a new water tunnel to deal with water collection ✅ Recycled and reused materials from the demolished leisure centre ✅ We were mightily impressed with this project and we can't wait to visit again once it's completed. Thank you to Mark Kiddie, Stuart Bishop and Adrian Francis for arranging our visit and answering our many questions! #Site #Construction #Civils #PublicRealm #CECA Lorraine Gregory Lisa Hollington
