  • The Charter – a Short History

    The Charter – a Short History

    The Charter – a short history The Mindful Business Charter was born out of discussions between the in house legal team at Barclays and two of their panel law firms, Pinsent Masons and Addleshaw Goddard, along the following lines: The people working in their businesses are highly driven professionals; We do pressured, often complex, work which requires high levels of cognitive functioning; We thrive on that hard work and pressure; In amongst that pressure and hard work there is stress, some of which is unnecessary; When we are stressed we work less productively, and it is not good for our health; and If we could remove that unnecessary stress, we would enable people to work more effectively and efficiently, as well as be happier and healthier. They also recognised that the pressure and stress come from multiple sources, often because of unspoken expectations of what the other requires or demands. Too often lawyers will respond to requests for work from a client with an assumption that the client requires the work as quickly as possible, whatever the demands that may make on the individuals involved, and whatever the impact upon their wellbeing, their families and much else besides. The bigger and more important the client, the greater the risk of that happening. The development of IT has contributed to this. As our connectivity has increased, there has been an inexorable drift towards an assumption that simply because we can be contactable and on demand and working 24/7, wherever we may be, that we should be. No-one stopped to think about this, to challenge it, to ask if it was what we wanted, or what we should do, or needed to do or if it was a good idea, we just went with the drift, perhaps fearful of speaking out, perhaps fearful that if we took a stand, the client would find another law firm down the road who was prepared to do whatever was required.

Much has been written about this pivotal role - the independent voice on, or close to, a company’s board and yet very little has been written about how to reach what some may consider their ultimate career goal.

    New Structures Freyssinet.Co.Uk Apex, Ronald Ross Bio-Science Building

    New Structures Apex, Ronald Ross Bio-Science Building Liverpool The Ronald Ross Bio-Science Building, known as Apex during Architect Fairhurst Design Group construction, provides a new four storey research facility for the Faculty Structural Engineer of Medicine at the University of Liverpool. It incorporates specialist, highly AECOM serviced controlled laboratory environments to containment level 2 and 3. Main Contractor The facility accommodates 600 researchers who support the University’s Shepherd Construction health research into infectious diseases, cancer and digestive diseases. Frame Contractor The £90m development was funded by the University of Liverpool and the Heyrod Construction Higher Education Funding Council for England. Post-tensioning Freyssinet Limited The building design has achieved BREEAM ‘excellent’ status and incorporates many Works Completed energy saving measures to ensure the facility contributes to the carbon reduction September 2014 commitment made by the university. The development has been constructed in two phases and Freyssinet was involved in the larger (11,170m2) phase 2. The building sits opposite the new Royal Liverpool University Hospital, which was also constructed by a Heyrod-Freyssinet team. The floor plate of phase 2 measured 100 by 37m and the length was split in two by a permanent movement joint. In the laboratory areas the slabs are 400mm thick for a grid of 9.9 by 6.6m. The office areas have 250mm thick slabs for 6.0 by 5.7m column spacing. The design loading in both the laboratory and office areas is 5.0kN/m2 live and 3.3kN/m2 superimposed dead. The building is located at the junction of Crown Street and West Derby Street, where an acute angle on the site gives Apex its name and the building its principal feature.
