Celebrating International Women’s Day 2025! 💜💪 What an incredible day at the BOUYGUES UK International Women’s Day 2025 event in Birmingham! We were privileged to hear an inspirational keynote address from Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson, whose words reminded us of the power of resilience, determination, and inclusivity. The event was a fantastic opportunity to connect with inspirational women and male allies from across our Group organisations, reinforcing the importance of collaboration in driving meaningful change. Thought-provoking discussions from our panellists and organisers highlighted both the progress we’ve made and the work that still needs to be done to achieve true gender equity in our industry. VSL UK was represented by Ayla Hassan, Manuela Carreiras & Gemma Fincher who had the chance to catch up with former VSLI colleague Dominique PRÉVOST (they even had time for a cheeky selfie) A huge thank you to everyone who made this event possible—let’s continue to #AccelerateAction challenge, inspire, and uplift each other every day. #IWD2025 #InclusionMatters #EquityInAction #WomenInEngineering 🚀

VSL UK is proud of our contribution to the successful delivery of the Cross Tay Bridge. We look forward to seeing this key new piece of infrastructure in use shortly. 👏👏Congratulations to the entire project team #bridges #collaboration #posttensioning #infrastructure
OPENING DATE ANNOUNCEMENT | 31st March 2025 The £150M Cross Tay Link Road project, will officially open on 31st March 2025 at approximately 12 noon. The opening ceremony will be led by First Minister, John Swinney, and Perth and Kinross Council Leader, Grant Laing. Olympic medallist, Eilidh Doyle, who hails from the area, will also lead a parade of local people including joggers, wheelchair users and cyclists to commemorate the new Active Travel Path Network opening alongside the road infrastructure. Councillor Laing commented, “After many years in the planning and delivery residents, visitors and businesses will soon be able to cross Destiny Bridge and the New Kingsway following the official opening on 31st March 2025. “While the scale of the building project itself is immense, it’s what happens next that offers the real success story. By providing an alternative to driving through the city centre, the route will reduce congestion and improve air quality in the city centre, while the new Active Travel Path Network supports connections with the city and between the communities spanning the River Tay. I look forward to seeing Perth and Kinross reaping the benefits of this investment.” https://lnkd.in/eQZubzFq

An inspiring morning with an incredible impact! Our Senior Submissions Manager Gemma Fincher, VSL HR Director David Myerscough and our Bouygues colleagues Jeffrey Joseph, Diane André & Lisa Duval had the privilege of visiting Lennox Children's Cancer Fund, where we saw first hand the incredible difference five new AV1 robots will make for children with cancer. These innovative bots serve as a vital link, keeping young patients connected to their education and social lives while they undergo treatment. A huge thank you to Lindsey Bidwell and the Lennox team for welcoming us and showcasing the AV 1. Thank you to the Bouygues Construction #Foundation, whose generous €40k donation made this possible. It was amazing to see the robots in action, and we can't wait to watch them transform the classroom experience for these children! #Innovation #EducationForAll #SupportingChildren #SocialImpact #BouyguesConstruction #VSL #VSLUK #CSR #SocialValue
