RAISING MONEY TO SUPPORT PAPYRUS PREVENTION OF YOUNG SUICIDE On 15th December 2022, we took part in a 'Wear Purple to Work Day' in support of PAPYRUS (Prevention of Young Suicide). PAPYRUS exists to reduce the number of young people who take their own lives, by shattering the stigma surrounding suicide and equipping young people and their communities with the skills to recognise and respond to emotional distress. Every member of staff fully embraced the spirit of the event and did the company proud, as you can see from the images below: We set up a JustGiving page in aid of the charity, and it was so well received that we extended it by a further month, into January 2023. We set a goal as a company of £1,000, and ended up raising a whopping £1,660! We have been blown away by the reception and response, and would like to sincerely thank every single person who helped us to not only reach, but smash our goal... Are you, or is a young person you know, not coping with life? For confidential suicide prevention advice, please visit: https://www.papyrus-uk.org/

BIRMINGHAM SUSTAINABILITY FORUM & BEIC TOUR In February, we attended the Sustainability Forum at the Millennium Point Birmingham, hosted by Hill & Smith PLC. On day one, we covered many ESG topics along with strategies for sustainable practices within asset HQ. We also took part in some fantastic brainstorming sessions with other businesses within the group. It was great to see what each company has already put in place in terms of sustainability, as well as future plans for continued improvement. On day two, we went on an informative tour of the Birmingham Energy Innovation Centre (BEIC) & Tyseley Energy Park, and came away with a wealth of knowledge and ideas that we’re looking forward to implementing.

RADISSON BLU, GLASGOW | 2ND MARCH 2023 We had a fantastic time at the one-day Rail Scotland Conference in March, discussing our rail product range with exhibitors. We had several products to demonstrate on the day, including our FRP Rail Platform 3D models and FRP panel samples. On display we also had one of our BaFixTM Ballast Retention Systems, which has been specifically designed to reduce the levels of maintenance caused by the loss of the ballast shoulder over time. Attending events such as this put us at the heart of the rail infrastructure industry, and enable us to showcase our growing portfolio of innovative products.

WE SIT DOWN WITH VICTORIA MCTAVISH TO EMBRACE EQUITY In support of International Women’s Day, we sat down with our Senior Brand Designer & Project Coordinator Victoria McTavish to discuss her take on workplace equity. Although Victoria has come from the design industry, as part of her role at asset, she also gets involved in many different projects including recruitment, HR, employee wellbeing as well as health & safety. The industries Victoria has been a part of over the years have been predominantly male orientated, and ensuring that everyone (regardless of gender) is respected and treated equally has always been her main goal throughout her career. Victoria also commented on the increase she has experienced in the number of females entering the design and engineering sectors in recent years. She believes the key to diversification is educating the industry, employers and employees on the equity of an individual, in terms of ensuring that everybody has equal rights and is treated fairly.

CBS ARENA, COVENTRY | 8TH - 9TH MARCH 2023 Bridges 2023 was a great experience for all who attended the 2-day event. Being the design & supply consultants for such large structures, it was great to be able to show our customers actual parts that are used in infrastructure projects across the UK and beyond. Our new cross section of an FRP Bridge Girder was a big hit with attendees, as it showed a crucial component in the manufacture of FRP bridges. Our experienced sales team were also on hand to present our steel and concrete bridge solutions.
