👉 What advice would you give your younger self on your first day of work? That’s what was asked of our 40+ Clubbers, at our recent celebration. We got the chance to speak to Gary (Burn) and Richard (two newly appointed 40+ members), Clive (a new 50+ member!), as well as existing club members, Jill, Gary (Butler) and Lee. ▶️ Hear why they started with us, why they stayed with us, and advice that’s applicable for newcomers then and now.

👷🏻‍♀️ How do you engineer like a girl? Recent surveys show only 16% of girls think engineering is suitable for them – we want to see that figure rise. So, we took the question to some of our own engineers: Odilia Bertetti, DSO Network Access Manager; Pamela Ali, Programme Manager with Capital Programmes; Kirsty Jones, Apprentice Electrical Fitter. 💪 Strong, smart and confident, hear why they think girls should choose engineering in our video. #INWED2026 #EngineeringIntelligence

🚶👑 We walked the walk and talked the talk at this year’s Royal Ramble, with our biggest year yet! 800 employees took part in the 20-mile walk, raising £135,000 for The Duke of Edinburgh's Award (@DofE) – and there wasn’t a Lime Bike in sight! This year we headed east, starting at Olympic Park in Stratford, making our way into Central London before looping back to the starting point. The money raised from this challenge could help give more than 4,000 young people, from all walks of life, the opportunity to start their life changing DofE journey. Watch a snippet from the day, below ⬇️

Check out the smiling faces of this year’s Royal Ramblers – taking on a 20-mile walk to raise money for The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (@DofE) 👑 Our third Royal Ramble started (and finished!) at Olympic Park, Stratford. The walk took ramblers in a loop back into central London, passing iconic sights such as St Paul’s and the Tower of London, and through greenery like Hackney Marshes and Victoria Park 🌳 The 800 employees who took part raised over £135,000 for the DofE – our biggest and best year yet! This money could enable the charity to reach more than 4,000 young people from all walks of life to develop their skills and experiences. 👏 A big round of applause to all those who took part in the day, ramblers and volunteers alike!

In fact, we’ve had more than 500 apprentices join us since 2010. ▶️Both passionate about our programme, watch Tony and Marcel talk everything apprenticeships in our video.
