Yesterday, we were incredibly fortunate to welcome an inspiring panel of professionals from across the construction industry - Currie & Brown, Co Create Architects, Obedair Construction and Hoare Lea - who brought their expertise to life in an engaging and thought-provoking session.

Selected Year 9 students gained real insight into the diverse roles within the industry, discovering how architects, engineers, contractors and project managers collaborate to deliver complex, real-world projects.

They then stepped into those roles themselves, taking on a live design brief. Working to specification and within a budget, each student experienced the challenge and excitement of bringing ideas to life as part of a professional team.

What truly set the session apart was the time and care our guests dedicated to providing detailed, personalised feedback. Their professional insight and encouragement made the experience even more meaningful.

A huge thank you to everyone involved for sharing your time, energy and expertise. Encounters like this are invaluable. Here's to opening eyes and inspiring the next generation!
