News & Views Site visit from Marsh Back to news & views We had the pleasure of welcoming our insurance partner, Marsh, to one of our sites. Their visit reaffirms our commitment to the highest standards of safety, quality, and compliance. In the wake of the Grenfell Tower report, the construction industry has been reminded of its profound responsibility to ensure that every project prioritises the safety of the people and communities we serve. At Neilcott, we’re working closely with partners like Marsh to ensure we are not only meeting, but exceeding, the necessary standards for risk management and compliance. It is so refreshing to see an insurance partner actively wanting to visit the important projects that we deliver on-site, whilst understanding the nature of the systems and processes that we have in place to make sure that we maintain the highest level of SHEQ. 🏗️ Together, we can create a safer and more accountable future for construction. Here is our SHEQ Manager Rhonda Tapley, pictured with Dan Wish from Marsh, following an audit of our site systems and procedures at Gayhurst School. This was followed by another visit from Marsh to our Harrow School site, where we are currently delivering works for a new dining hall, following on from the completion of our works for the school’s new state-of-the-art Science building.

News & Views Project Completion: The Crick Institute Back to news & views We are thrilled to have reached practical completion at the Crick, where we have delivered an ambitious ‘Skylab’, a highly-technical and complex build to provide an additional two floors of laboratory and office space – on the 8th floor rooftop of the Francis Crick Institute, in-between the iconic canopies. This has been a truly inspirational project to be involved with, requiring diligent technical and logistical planning from the outset and extremely close collaboration throughout. It’s great to see the Skylab built, operating and providing space for science.Remaining operational 24/7, 365 days a year, with 1500 staff, including 1250 scientists running critical, highly-sensitive experiments 24/7, the project required in-depth collaborative planning and ongoing communication to ensure that operations remained ‘business as usual’.
