A great Christmas Party to end 2025

The last Friday before we close for Christmas is typically our Christmas day out and party. This year we headed off to visit our recently Practically Complete facilities for Bartlett Arboretum, before heading on to Winchester for a few festive drinks and a long meal at the wonderful Wykeham Arms.

The day began with the finals of the office boules tournament and the not so highly coveted reputation of being crowned office champion for 2025.

Peter took the 2025 title in his inaugural year!

It was then off to Bartlett Arboretum to inspect one of our key buildings from 2025.

We looked at some beautifully detailed zinc

Jamie touched a fine piece of timber

...and Ben handed Ryan a spade.

...and we planted a commemorative Acer Monspessulanum tree, a fitting tribute to all the hard work by Ben (Project Director), Ryan (Project Architect) and the team who delivered this brilliant building.

We then headed to Winchester for the main event...

Jamie handed our Secret Santa presents...

Giulia and Fatima announced the winners of their excellent quiz.

...and we all enjoyed a great evening with great colleagues and friends.

Here's to 2026 being a great year!
