Bishop Stopford Alumni Event

We were delighted to be invited to attend the Bishop Stopford Alumni Event yesterday.

Group Director Toby Heath, a student at the school from 2000 – 2007, spoke to the Year 10 students about life as a Civil Engineer and we were pleased that so many pupils took the time to ask questions and find out more about the role. We also got to share the oportunities we have for them in the future when they are considering their next steps after school.

Thank you to the staff for organising and to the students who listened so attentively to all of the presentations on a very hot afternoon.

As-Built Survey at Bicester

Engineer, Joe Winter recently took a visit to conduct an as-built survey on a scheme that he, along with Senior Engineer Harry Smith as part of JPP Highways, completed design works on December 2021.

The works consisted of a priority junction to serve a commercial development in Bicester, Oxfordshire with an LTN1/20 (great read) compliant cycle crossing and associated segregated cycle/footway. The works have been completed to a high standard and its great to see projects come to completion and see how our designs contribute to the real world highway network.

Fantastic work from the JPP Highways team who consistently deliver professional highway design and consultancy services for ‘off-site’ highway infrastructure schemes associated with residential and commercial developments.

JPP Kettering, coming soon ….

The refurbishment of our new office in Kettering is progressing well and we are looking forward to welcoming our teams in July. The works are being designed and managed by our own CEO, Ben Arnsby who is keeping the refurbishment under wraps so staff can see the stunning workspace in its entirety on completion. However, he has allowed us a sneak peak into some of the finer details and it looks like it will be a fantastic space to work in.

Men’s Health Week 2025

The spotlight is on awareness about the unique challenges men face regarding their health. From stress levels to physical health checks – it is important that we acknowledge the different issues men face.

Did you know that ….

• One in five men won’t live past 65.

• There could be implications to keeping your phone in your pocket.

• Men are more likely to suffer from conditions like cancer, cardiovascular disease, and

type 2 diabetes.

• Men are at higher risk of suicide.

How do JPP ensure that men’s health is prioritised and safeguarded?

Employee Assistance Programme with 24 hour GP access

Wellbeing Team

Break-out areas

Team building opportunities

Training for employees and leadership team

Sobering statistics, but ones that can be changed. So as part of Men’s Health Week we have sent all of our employees the ‘DIY Man MOT’ thanks to the Men’s Health Forum. We have encouraged our male emloyees to complete the simple checks, and our female employees to pass it on to a male friend or family member.

You can find the MOT here.

Client Appreciation – Bellway Homes

At JPP we aim to build strong relationships with our clients. We want them trust our expertise, value our skills and know that we will always go above and beyond to deliver the highest standards.

Bellway Homes is a client who began as a small business just like us. They have a passion for building exceptional homes with the needs of families at the heart of their design and construction. Most recently we have been fortunate to work with Bellway Homes South Midlands to carry out the preliminary engineering designs to gauge the feasibility and cost implications of the residential development at Staverton Lodge in Daventry.

It has been a pleasure to work with this forward thinking, talented team and we hope to collaborate on many more projects in the future.
