The Mayor’s Young Professional Panel
As part of his ongoing involvement as a member of the Mayor's Young Professional Panel, Volterra Associate Alex O'Byrne took part in a recent Infrastructure High-Level Group meeting, discussing future infrastructure in London, including plans to improve diversity and inclusion in the sector.
The Panel, established by the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan two years ago, was set up to complement the Mayor’s London Infrastructure Group.

A great day for a great cause!
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!
