What's yellow and dangerous? Shark-infested custard. What's yellow and not dangerous? The special type of lighting used in a semi-conductor type cleanroom! This is a photo of Gordon, Andy and Lindsay (looking like #minions) who recently had to be gowned-up in order to carry out a non-intrusive survey at the James Watt Nano-Fabrication Cleanrooms at the University of Glasgow.

Colleagues from the DSSR Glasgow office, led by Carina McKinney, completed a 10k night time 'Shine Walk' this past weekend for Cancer Research UK (CRUK). Carina led the group to raise more than £2,000 to help beat cancer. The Shine Night Walk is an illuminating night-time event where walkers pass through their city’s famous landmarks as part of a 10k walk. Organised by Cancer Research UK, several similar events take place in cities across the UK. The primary goal is to raise vital funds for life-saving cancer research. The money raised by participants helps fund various research projects aimed at improving cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. These events also play a crucial role in raising awareness about cancer and the importance of research. They bring together people affected by cancer, their loved ones, and supporters to create a sense of community and solidarity in the fight against the disease. Regional Director, Fiona Williamson reflected, “Well done to everyone; what a great achievement we all managed to navigate the streets of Glasgow on a Saturday night, and all get back in once piece! I hope everyone who took part was not too stiff the next morning and got a deserved lie-in on Sunday. It looks like we have raised over £2,000 including gift aid!” https://lnkd.in/eyAmAjsw

Tonight we are walking in memory of and in encouragement for all those we’ve lost and those who are powering on through! Every penny counts 🙏 Donating through these pages is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with Cancer Research UK. https://lnkd.in/essBwWZH

Despite a lack of summer weather, our Glasgow office persevered with plans for a post-work barbeque–thanks in large part to a powerful gazebo and the skills of BBQ King, Tony Williamson. It's important to make time to relax and enjoy the fruits of your labour, which is made significantly easier with delicious cocktails 🍸, beers 🍻, and doughnuts 🍩 (thank you, David Kearney)!!

We are proud to share the successful completion of the Blackpool Victoria Hospital Laundry Building project, where DSSR played a key role in addressing the health and safety risks posed by RAAC concrete. The new multi-storey facility includes separate clean and dirty linen areas, staff amenities, and medical record storage, with a car park added to the site. DSSR was responsible for the entire M&E package, including demolition and construction. The project emphasised staff wellbeing, incorporating bright, airy rest areas, well-equipped changing rooms, and sustainable design features such as a 200kWp solar PV system and energy-efficient lighting. Despite challenges like adverse weather and COVID-19 restrictions, our team’s innovative approach ensured the delivery of a high-quality, environmentally responsible laundry facility.
