    BCO lunch gets competitive 💪 British Council for Offices hosted their annual lunch with a competitive edge as Colin Brown from Mission Street led a pub quiz. Narrowed down to the final three, we were delighted to come a respectable 2nd with worthy winners CB3 Consulting LTD taking first prize and Howard Group taking 3rd place 🥳 Richard Warwick did a great job hosting and paid credit to some of the incredible projects within the region. He also thanked Mike Ayton from DTRE LLP for the incredible contribution he has made to BCO over the last few years as he is now stepping down and handing the reins to Richard. We were delighted to sponsor the BCO lunch once again, alongside the other sponsors: CB3 Consultanting Ltd, Owers Warwick Architects Overbury, Saunders Boston Architects and Fora. #COELWorkSpaces #Networking #Cambridge

    Just a few examples of the wonderful community events which have taken place over the past few weeks at our Unity Campus development in Cambridgeshire: - Second-hand swap: a PhoreMost Ltd-led sustainability and recycling initiative. - Bug Hotel installation (skillfully crafted by individuals at THE PHOENIX TRUST charity and social enterprise in Milton) to support and increase insects and invertebrates in and around Campus. - Macmillan Cancer Support Coffee Morning. - A Public Speaking and Presenting Skills course for Campus members with Jarrold Training. - A salsa class in The Works. - Hong Kong street food company HitWrap and Orbis Pizza food vans served some delicious lunches. - Unity Campus honey, from the bees in our hives on site, went on sale with proceeds being invested straight back into the beekeeping. - Several relevant suppliers took to The Street in The Works to exhibit their products and services. - And much more that we didn't manage to get photos of such as car valet services, British Sign Language classes, and the 'free cookie with every hot drink' offer at the cafe (which sold out fast!). Well done to the incredible on-site Howard Group team, and thank you to the wonderfully-engaged Campus community for making #UnityCampus the amazing place that it is. #SouthCambs #CommunityEngagement #StaffWellbeing #CampusEvents
