The evening also provided the perfect opportunity to introduce Ewan, our new director, and to have some positive conversations about the direction we’re heading in. We’re very grateful to everyone who attended and helped make the evening such an enjoyable occasion.

As part of the Farnham Walking Festival 2025, Clinton, an architect from the Farnham office, and his colleagues from the Bourne Conservation Group led a walk of about 4 miles along the Bourne Valley. Starting and finishing at St Thomas-on-the-Bourne church and taking in various landmarks along the way, the walk stopped at the Middle Bourne Lane Community Garden where walkers were invited to look at and hold some of the moths that had been caught the night before.
This week is Mental Health Awareness Week, and at our Farnham office we’ve embraced lunchtime walks as a simple way to support wellbeing, connection, and productivity. Stepping away from the desk helps us return feeling more refreshed, recharged, and ready to take on the afternoon.
