  • What an outstanding example of teamwork and hard graft yesterday, as Plymouth Argyle produced the greatest cup result in their history, to knock out the Premier League leaders Liverpool. Our Plymouth Team and the whole city is still buzzing. Ward Williams is also proud to be playing a part in the future of the club, as Official Partner of the Argyle Academy and in consulting on the creation of a new permanent home for Argyle’s youth academy and Plymouth Argyle Women. The extensive redevelopment of Brickfields will install superb facilities for the teams and community, including a covered pitch and other amenities which are of the standard required to apply for Category 2 status in the future. #builtdifferently #positiveimpact

  • New coworking space in Bristol - Collaboration and positive culture. BLOCK Bristol completed recently, delivering coworking space of the highest quality in the heart of Bristol. Ward Williams were first introduced to the Block team during works on a similar scheme at the award-winning Royal William Yard in Plymouth. The Bristol project is remarkable because of the quality of the end product (see photos) and the delivery which was on time AND budget. This achievement wasn’t a fluke. The client and contractor applied a totally collaborative approach for the entirety of the scheme. Too often projects can be diverted by protectionism and opportunism, here is further proof that a collaborative and positive culture, exponentially increases the likelihood of success in whatever it is you’re trying to achieve. Ward Williams provided both Project Management and Cost Consultant services, working with the brilliant teams at BLOCK and Interaction Ltd | B Corp™. 😊
