TB+A are featured in this month's, The Guardian online. As a small business with 200 employees and 20% being apprentices, our TB+A Partner, Neil Weller discusses our apprenticeship journey over the last 10 years.

The article touches on the reasons the business invested in apprenticeships back in 2008, with Neil explaining, "As the global financial crisis unravelled, there was a stark choice confronting the business community: if companies did not start taking on apprentices there could be a lost generation with low skills and poor prospects. We feared so many young people couldn’t afford to go to university, so they would end up leaving school without jobs or vocational training to go into.”

Our Energy Performance + Technology group attend the CIBSE Conference on 17th and 18th November 2016 at the QEII Centre, Westminster. The EP+T group is a multi-disciplinary team of engineering leaders from mechanical, electrical, building physics, Facilities Management, IT and security disciplines with a common interest to improve the performance of the buildings in which we live, work and play. The group fosters a collaborative approach to overcome the common challenges in reducing in-use carbon emissions from our clients’ buildings.

They are well versed in environmental design and can assist clients at any stage of a buildings development, from concept design through to occupation, to optimise performance and reduce energy consumption. To complement this approach, they actively promote developments in smart systems technologies alongside less high tech processes, including post occupancy valuation (POE) and Soft Landings, that can enhance a building’s operation and environment for both building managers and occupants
