RPS is an international consultancy providing advice on the planning, development and management of the built and natural environment. In April 2016 RPS acquired DBK, a leading UK-based project management, cost and building consultancy with over 40 years’ experience operating in the property and construction marketplace. Working together, our expanded team is now better placed than ever to achieve

our core objective of providing our clients with support throughout the whole project lifecycle. The extensive list of clients we work with is diverse and impressive to say the least. These include property developers, publicly funded bodies, end users, education organisations and local authorities. Our sector experience includes residential, industrial, critical systems, office, retail, affordable housing, education, healthcare, hotels, mixed-use and student housing. With strong client relationships and a people-centric environment, not only do we work with the best, we employ the best too. Our project management, cost and building consultancy team believe in getting things done with innovation and by challenging the norm, it’s this philosophy that continues to drive RPS into growing and developing the business and its people. We pride ourselves on the quality of the support we give our clients throughout the development process. From a project’s initial conception through to its successful completion, our team provide expert advice and technical guidance delivered by personable and friendly professionals; this approach has meant that one-off contracts often develop into longstanding relationships. We are pragmatic in our approach and flexible in our thinking and have a proven track record in identifying opportunities and adding tangible value to our clients. We are passionate about delivering success – yours and ours.

Staff from our London office had a fantastic day at Blayze Group's annual Property five a side tournament earlier this month.

Sponsored by Property Week, a range of property companies attended to compete for the trophy and plate, raising almost £800 for LandAid in the process. LandAid brings the property industry together to support charities delivering life-changing services for young people who are, have been, or are at risk of becoming homeless.

Congratulations to the winners, Aitch Group and Watts Group - very well deserved - and thank you to Blayze Group for organising... best get training for next year's tournament!

Last Thursday, the Birmingham office had an unexpected visit from the “Red Bull girls” who very kindly brought the office 50 cans of red bull for free, and it was all thanks to the ingenuity of Mr Alex Freeman in Accounts who registered the office the previous week for this flying “freebie” visit as part of Red Bull’s marketing campaign.

We may not have finished early, but it’s safe to say it was a nice surprise for all, and not a bad way to finish a Thursday!

Congratulations to Chris Coward, AD in our London office who completed the unbelievable challenge of becoming an elite “Iron Man” athlete.

The Triathlon style event is not for the faint-hearted, kicking off with a 2.4 mile open water swim in chilly temperatures through a non-stop transition directly into a 112 mile long cycle ride and then – if that wasn’t enough to finish you off – a second transition into a full Marathon (which unbelievably, he completed in just 3 hours 38 minutes).

Chris recorded a personal best of 11 hours and 29 minutes, achieving his goal of a “sub-12-hour” time.

The lead up to the event has taken more than 9 months of training 6 days each week – peaking at over 30 hours a week!

Well done Chris! This is a huge achievement and to quote Critical Systems Director, Neil Grocock, “I feel exhausted having just written about it! See you in the pub for a celebratory ‘lime and soda’!”

Last Saturday, our team in Manchester spent the day volunteering at Ronald McDonald House Charities, which provides free ‘home away from home’ accommodation at specialist children's hospitals across the UK, enabling families to stay close to their child and maintain a degree of normal family life.

Between them, the team cleaned 20 kitchens, decorated two corridors, sanitised all the toys and made some great posters! What a team!

This is a truly amazing charity which is totally funded by donations – very humbling and yet inspiring for our team who participated!

Thank you so much to the charity for letting us get involved, we had a fantastic day meeting you all!
