Concept Building Services are committed to helping the environment in which we live, and this commitment is shown by receiving gold status from the Supply Chain Sustainability School.

To earn this award, we have shown the following;

• Offices – initiatives have been implemented in all offices to promote conscious energy usage. This has been achieved through toolbox talks to educate employees and signage to raise awareness. The progress is monitored during quarterly office audits, where any actions are addressed, and appropriate improvements are made.
• Sites – audit documents have been amended to include on-site energy usage, promoting discussions with site teams and contractors surrounding energy consumption issues.
• Vehicles – promotion of car sharing and the use of public transport where applicable.
• Materials – encouragement of using local suppliers and ensuring accurate orders are placed to avoid unnecessary waste. Additionally, clients are encouraged to consider sustainable material resourcing and more environmentally friendly options such as LED lighting and solar panels.
• Waste – ensuring waste is appropriately segregated by waste stream to enable correct disposal and recycling. We are proud to have a 98% recycle rate on our waste last year.

Concept continually works within the community to help young people reach their goals (no pun intended) and we have recently been sponsoring aspirational football stars of the future by providing new kit for their teams.

During the last few months we have sponsored players and teams across the country, from Dunfermline in Scotland, down to the West Country and in the South East.

Following the sad passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, a meticulously planned operation codenamed ‘London Bridge’ was rolled into action and what followed was the largest state funeral since the death of Queen Victoria.

The entire event was flawlessly executed and viewed by billions of people across the world.

The Duke of Norfolk (the chief organiser of the operation) recently issued a letter of thanks to all those involved of which Concept also received. Concept were proud to assist our partners in delivering what was a monumental operation of considerable scale and importance, and one which involved thousands of people across multiple sectors.

The Earl Marshal’s Letter of Thanks

Concept’s support of Candice Bomberg has aided this young British athlete to hit the top in her first year of senior competitions. The talented British skier has really impressed with 8 podium top 3 finishes at highly competitive international races and ending a very creditable 8th Overall (6th U21 and 4th U18) in the Arnold Lunn World Cup Slalom Standings for upcoming skiers from over 50 nations.

Other notable results at the national finals in Tignes, France included being crowned the British Slalom U18 champion, U21 Runner-Up and Overall third. In the Giant Slalom she also took the U18 title and was the U21 Runner Up.

It was a similar story at the English Championships in Bormio, Italy where she took Gold in the U18 Slalom and Giant slalom with silver U21 and Senior Runner-up in the Slalom and was also 3rd Overall senior.

Her tough first FIS racing season saw her compete in 45 races over five months across 17 alpine locations.

Unsurprisingly her achievements have been rewarded by a call up into the British Senior FIS racing squad and she is highlighted here in this GB Snowsport Selection Press Release

Candice was born in France with dual nationality and pre-
pandemic was both a French and British Junior Skiing Champion in Slalom. She also finished an impressive 4th in her international youth debut.

Preparation for season 2022/3 is well under way with a series of glacier skiing camps in the French Alps mixed with tough gym sessions, hiking or mountain biking.

Candice said of her Concept Sponsorship:

“I am really grateful to Concept for their generous support, this has allowed me to compete internationally at the highest levels – I am fully committed and dedicated to take my talent as far as it will go, so thanks for being a very important part of my journey”

In September she will head to Argentina to train on snow in Patagonia for a month and represent Great Britain in the LatAm Cup Series of races.

Next seasons goals will include targeting the European Youth Olympic Festival (U18’s) in Italy and the World Junior Championships (U21’s) at Meribel, France and further climbing her way up the World Rankings.

Future trajectory and ambitions will be to race for GB at Europa Cup level, progressing onto World Cups and Senior World Championships with an eye on competing at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Cortina Italy when she will be only 20 years old.

It is worth noting that Candice has one more season as a U18 and four more years in the U21 category.

We are extremely proud to announce this latest achievement which further
bolsters our rapidly increasing arsenal of abilities. Having NSI certification shows to our partners that Concept is fully qualified to design, install, commission and handover, as well as the verification and maintenance of Emergency Lighting Systems.
