As of this year we have decided to theme the in-house monthly updates at the First Friday to match staff’s country of origin. This month we had South African drinks & snacks – mmm, biltong! Work Experience Students we had in this week presented their project work to the whole office, followed by Cecilia showing progress photos of the Shard and Cathryn sharing updates on the Energy Institute and the beginnings of Phase 2. We also had a feature on conceptual buildings that staff presented to the group. This month’s gold star went to Christina.
