WWe are strengthening our ESG and Sustainability capabilities with the addition of three senior experts: Nick Hayes, Monika M. and George Rowberry Bringing a wealth of experience across major initiatives, the team is poised to drive Wallace Whittle’s expanded ESG offering. The enhanced team will support clients with a comprehensive range of ESG solutions, including building performance, climate resilience, and net-zero strategies. Leveraging our existing in-house Sustainability team expertise, their collaborative approach and insights will help us deliver more holistic ESG solutions, ensuring our clients can better understand and manage their environmental, social & governance impact. “Modern businesses must demonstrate to investors, communities and governments that they take their responsibilities seriously. The impact of that is felt in planning processes, investment decisions and even talent attraction. The opportunity to lead ESG advisory at Wallace Whittle allows us to help clients set new benchmarks for how the built environment, and the businesses and communities which use them, can play a positive role in a net zero future.” – Nick Hayes, Director ESG & Sustainability, Wallace Whittle With the team also championing our new, bespoke ESG model approach and digital dashboard, PathWWay, our goal is to support our clients every step of the way on their ESG journey towards a more sustainable future.

It was great to be able to attend the NHS Golden Jubilee ‘Our People Awards 2024’ last night. Wallace Whittle were proud to sponsor and present the sustainability award and spending time with #TeamJubilee was a delight as always. The Arthroplasty Outcomes team won the award but I must also give a special mention to Ben Macklin and the National Green Theatres Programe who were also deservedly nominated. I was also happy to see the "Special Recognition Award" presented to the Surgical Centre Expansion Team. I have witnessed first hand the diligent work this team has put in over many years, in the pursuit of improving Scotland's waiting times and the fantastic results that have been brought about at NHS Golden Jubilee is a testament to them. A massive congratulations to all who were nominated as well as the award winners!

WWe had a fantastic evening this week at MLA's Retro-Fit Round Table panel discussion, hosted at OVO's Glasgow office. The discussion delved into the role of retrofitting in modernising existing buildings to meet sustainability goals, reduce energy consumption, and extend their lifespan. Key themes included how to measure the success of retrofitting efforts, the importance of cross-disciplinary collaboration, and the value of early intervention in the design process to ensure maximum efficiency. Our very own Niamh Hartnett, Principal Mechanical Engineer, represented us on the panel. She shared her expertise on retrofitting from an MEP perspective, exploring the technical challenges and solutions that drive results. One of the key takeaways from the evening was the need for transparency and seamless teamwork across disciplines throughout the design process. In an era where sustainable buildings are more crucial than ever, these conversations are pivotal for shaping change and setting new industry benchmarks. "It was great to hear the viewpoints of the panel and get insightful questions from the audience on retro-fit. The discussion highlighted the importance of collaboration and that is something we can all take forward and make time for." Niamh shared. A big thank you to Mariana Novosivschei & Kay Quillan from MLA for hosting and organising such a great evening, and to speakers Anthony Newman, Heather Holbrook, and Andrew Harvey for their valuable insights. Thanks also to OVO Energy for having us! Thomas & Adamson | Arup | #WallaceWhittle #NZC #NetZero #Retrofit #Sustainability #BuildingDesign #Sustainability #MEPEngineering
