Contents. 4 The Salvation Army - Our Shared Journey Welcome! 6 Training for the Future It is my pleasure to welcome you to the autumn edition of ‘DYK?’. As we near the end of 2017 and begin to anticipate what the new year might bring, there is an increasing degree of uncertainty around Brexit, interest rates, inflation, financial markets, government policy, house prices, and of course the building regulations to name just a few. This impacts the whole economy including our construction sector, the 8 Quantity Surveying - clear, accurate advice third biggest contributor to GDP, which sits only behind the manufacturing and the all-powerful services sector. Whilst all this uncertainty exists, and in truth has always existed in different guises, what we must do is keep abreast of developments, but above all concentrate on our day jobs. Our day job is big enough. Attention to detail, as my colleagues have demonstrated in this DYK, whether it be 9 Delivering the largest quayside distribution hub in Europe developing an intrinsic understanding of our clients’ wide ranging and diverse requirements over a period of years, delivering fast and accurate construction advice or ensuring teething problems after occupation are resolved efficiently, all helps to ensure we play our part in helping to care for, renew and expand the built environment. Preparing for the future has to always be at the forefront of our minds, including developing talent, embracing new 10 Care Home Design Considerations procurement methods and delivering precision engineered construction solutions. The Practice has recently achieved BIM Level 2 accreditation. Despite the reluctance by some in our sector to commit to this necessary shift to a more collaborative approach to design development, we are in a perfect position to push for this modernisation of design and construction processes. Our Defects Management System 12 In this issue of ‘DYK’ we acknowledge that the construction industry has a serious skills gap and we explain how we are working to change this. We recently attended the launch of the new ‘Place & Making Institute’ initiative which recognises the need to attract smart young people into our sector as well as re-skilling those currently in the sector to deal with new technologies and processes. 14 Future Fit - Building the workforce of tomorrow We are pleased to be actively supporting the apprenticeship programme by encouraging new entrants into the construction industry and providing them with permanent employment positions alongside their degree studies. Whilst we acknowledge the pressing need to encourage new entrants into our industry, we cannot ignore the crucial 16 Building Defects Analysis part the ageing workforce have to play in passing on their knowledge and wisdom to help build the future workforce. I hope you enjoy reading this ‘DYK’ and I would take this opportunity of thanking those colleagues of mine from our Southend office who have kindly taken the time to write the articles and to share their thoughts on matters dear to them. 18 Company News Nigel Franklin, Partner Head of Southend office 2 Issue 12 | Autumn 2017 3 DYK?

  • Diverse on Screen Talent Directory
    BBC Diverse Presenters The BBC is committed to finding and growing diverse onscreen talent across all channels and platforms. We realise that in order to continue making the BBC feel truly diverse, and improve on where we are at the moment, we need to let you know who’s out there. In this document you will find biographies for just some of the hugely talented people the BBC has already been working with and others who have made their mark elsewhere. It’s the responsibility of every person involved in BBC programme making to ask themselves whether what, and who, they are putting on screen reflects the world around them or just one section of society. If you are in production or development and would like other ideas for diverse presenters across all genres please feel free to get in touch with Mary Fitzpatrick Editorial Executive, Diversity via email: [email protected] Diverse On Screen Talent Directory Presenter Biographies Biographies Ace and Invisible Presenters, 1Xtra Category: 1Xtra Agent: Insanity Artists Agency Limited T: 020 7927 6222 W: www.insanityartists.co.uk 1Xtra's lunchtime DJs Ace and Invisible are on a high - the two 22-year-olds scooped the gold award for Daily Music Show of the Year at the 2004 Sony Radio Academy Awards.

  • Talent Tracking
    ON SCREEN AND ON AIR TALENT AN ASSESSMENT OF THE BBC’S APPROACH AND IMPACT A REPORT FOR THE BBC TRUST APPENDIX II – TALENT TRACKING BY OLIVER & OHLBAUM ASSOCIATES APRIL 2008 1 APPENDIX II – TALENT TRACKING The objective was to find how the sources of the various network broadcasters’ talent differ, by genre and in some cases over time. Presenter loyalty to broadcasters would also be shown as a result of the ‘talent tracking’. A BARB database consisting of every strand aired on BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, C4 and Five in 2007 was used to select the relevant strands. Strands with less than 300 annual broadcast hours were not considered for analysis. Strands were chosen from genres that have a strong dependence on the quality and audience appeal of their presenter or lead performer. Hence the genres chosen were: • Entertainment, consisting of sub genres ‘Chat Shows’, ‘Quiz/Game Shows’, ‘Family Shows’ and ‘Panel Shows’ • Factual Documentary, consisting of sub genres ‘History’, ‘Human Interest’, ‘Natural History’, ‘Science/ Medical’ • Lifestyle, consisting of sub genres ‘Cooking’, ‘DIY’ and ‘Homes’ • Comedy, consisting of sub genres ‘Situation Comedy’ and ‘Other Comedy’ The talent analysis would then be taken form these selected strands. In the cases where talent appeared for the same channel on more than one strand, the talent was still only considered once for tracking analysis. If talent appeared on more than one channel, then their tracking would appear in all relevant channel profiles. Various different web-based sources were used to best map out the talent’s career. www.wikipedia.org and www.tv.com have career résumés on most of the selected talent; for a deeper and more comprehensive analysis, www.imdb.com and www.spotlight.com were used as reliable programme and talent databases.

  • Creative, Successful, Dyslexic
    When a director is talking about a script I can visualise it all . I’m able to say, ‘We need to add something here, something to keep things moving ’. I put that down to being dyslexic . Brian Conley Entertainer, actor and singer. Struggled so much at school he thought he would end up a tramp. Learning his lines is never easy, but he is a huge success on TV and in musical theatre. When my father died about ten years ago I was filled with grief. I went to see a counsellor and one thing he did was to help take me back in time to my school days. I remembered being in class and we were all getting up to read, everyone taking it in turns. The teacher was getting angry – we must have been misbehaving – and I knew it was getting to my turn and I knew I wouldn’t be able to do it. The counsellor told me to stand behind this young boy, which was me as a child. He said, ‘Put your hands on the little lad’s shoulders and tell him how you feel.’ 83 Brian Conley I did this and I couldn’t speak. I stood there and bawled my eyes out. I was in my early forties then and the pain from all those years ago was still there. I could vividly see what the teacher looked like, what the room felt like. The counsellor said, ‘Why don’t you have a word with the teacher?’ I took the teacher ‘outside’ the classroom and told her how much she’d upset me and how it had affected me all my life and that she shouldn’t have been so hard on that small child.
