For 5 weeks this summer saw teams from across the company grab their trainers to take a little time out for their own health and well-being as part of our Ready Steady 150 campaign.
For 5 weeks this summer, saw our teams from across the company grabbing their trainers to take a little time out for their own health and well-being as part of our Ready Steady 150 campaign.
The programme was set up to help colleagues boost their fitness and to promote a little healthy competition between teams. Working in groups of up to five, teams pledged to complete a combined total of at least 150 hours of exercise over a five-week period, logging their efforts on the fitness app Strava.
Following five weeks of pure effort and determination our athletic heroes from across our UK offices and sites helped amass an incredible 13,680 hours for the challenge.
A huge thank you to our 466 athletes and 101 teams who took part and especially to our winners who pushed themselves all the way to Ready Steady 150 glory.
Our winners
Our winners only show a small selection of people who made an outstanding contribution to the challenge and whilst we cannot name everyone, we would like to highlight the achievement of a few individuals who epitomised the spirit of Ready Steady 150.
Our Align joint venture team has drawn on the expertise of our McAlpine Lifting Solutions (MLS) colleagues to help overcome the logistical challenge of assembling the giant tunnel boring machines that will be used on HS2.
Steve Ollington – a huge sports fan who never had the opportunity to visit Wimbledon until we took on the project – talks through his work using BIM modelling to fit the new retractable roof on No. 1 Court Wimbledon.
Entering the world of work can be daunting, but for our graduates working on refurbishment of the roof on No. 1 Court, the environment has been one of collaboration as well as challenge.
