As the insurance world descends on Manchester today (lucky Manchester!) it is time for a few words on the city. Whenever I visit Manchester I am astounded by the level of construction. The skyline is incredible and changing on an almost monthly basis. As well as being home to two massive football clubs (one bigger […]

Just take a look at the new Tottenham Hotspur stadium! This leads me nicely on to two of my favourite subjects, namely modern architecture (see my blog of October 2018) and urban regeneration (my blog all the way back in March 2017!).

Following the tragic events of the weekend I can’t let the moment go without paying tribute to Vichai. As a business based in Leicestershire with strong links to the local community, we are well aware of the benefits that Vichai and his family brought to the city. Charitable work and donations to good causes locally, […]

As you all know, one of my favourite subjects is modern architecture. As a specialist in construction guarantees, I am fortunate in that I get to see a lot of buildings! One of the benefits of working regularly in London is that I view projects as they progress from holes in the ground to wonderful […]
