A (virtual) warm welcome to our new starters…
A now all-too familiar way of say hello to new colleagues, a relaxed way to do it, nonetheless...
We look forward to working with new Volterra starters Anna Rumsey and Sofia Kaur, in a more cohesive way!

It’s been a sporty few weeks for us in the office!
Four of our team recently participated in the 180km Golden Triangle Bike Ride in aid of Maggie’s.The weather was kind to us as we tackled the picturesque but challenging course from Oxford to Cambridge.

HB Reavis Waterloo site given the green light
Volterra have been working with HB Reavis on the redevelopment proposal for Elizabeth House in Waterloo.
We are delighted that Lambeth Council have given the go ahead for the site adjacent to Waterloo station. Designed by AHMM architects, the multi-use space will include a publicly accessible garden promenade.
This is an exciting and much needed scheme to improve a very busy area of London.

Putting our best boot forward…
On 13 September Volterra participated in the IBI Group Construction Cup, a five-a-side charity football tournament featuring 40 teams from across the industry.
Despite being relative minnows up against some large multinational firms, we won 3 of our 4 group games to qualify for the knockout stages where we lost narrowly to one of the eventual finalists. Star performer Luke Thurley bagged 12 of our 16 goals, whilst new recruits Ian Mwiti and Ross Bateman seamlessly slotted into the team before starting work with us the following Monday!
An enjoyable time was had by all and it was great to participate in an event that supported Mates in Mind, a charity dealing with mental wellbeing in the workplace.
A warm welcome to Ian and Ross
Recent additions to our specialist team are economic graduates Ross Bateman and Ian Mwiti. We hope they will enjoy working with us!
