A465 Heads of the Valleys Road Safety Audits

A465 Heads of the Valleys Road Improvement Scheme

TMS have recently started to undertake Stage 3 Post Construction Road Safety Audits on the A465 Heads of the Valleys Road at Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. The scheme will see the dualling of Sections 5 and 6 (Dowlais Top to Hirwaun) of the A465 which will improve capacity and journey times through the Valleys, improve overtaking opportunities and improve overall road safety benefits.

To facilitate the dualling, the scheme will also include some major bridge structures and grade separated junctions. It is expected that the scheme will be completed and open in mid-2025.

TMS will be providing Stage 3 Road Safety Audits in the short term for the side road improvement schemes which are necessary to facilitate construction of the mainline.  TMS will then be involved in auditing onto the mainline itself when works are complete.

Samaritans’ Brew Monday 2023 (Blue Monday)

Samaritans' Brew Monday 2023 (Blue Monday)

We are glad to have partaken in the Samaritans Brew Monday on the 16th of January 2023. One of our Directors, Richard Cook, volunteers at the Solihull Samaritans branch, and the money raised went directly to the Solihull branch. The day was filled with activities to do for TMS and the other businesses around the Business Innovation Centre (BIC). We had a bake sale provided by the team at TMS and their families, as well as a quiz pack that donators could take home to do, with prizes for the top result!

A cabinet with various cakes, biscuits & TMS branding placed on top of it.

After our lovely Office Manager, Jan, tallied up the results for the quiz. We had a number of prizes to give out to individuals from TMS team and the other BIC businesses.

Three men stood in an office with two of them holding a prize they won from a quiz.

 

From TMS, we had our auditors Richard Marriott and Darren Newbold achieving the top points and they earned themselves beverages ready for the weekend!

TMS and the other businesses around the Business Innovation Centre, managed to raise over £150 for the Samaritans charity! This donation was then matched by TMS and a total of £290 was raised for the charity. We would like to thank those who participated to help such an important cause. Until next year!

Richard offered these words about the fundraiser, “We have a great team of people here at TMS and in the Business Innovation Centre who always pitch in and help when we run a fundraiser. Volunteering at Samaritans is something which I am very passionate about, I know that the money raised will go to making sure the Solihull branch can be there for people who need a listening ear day or night.”

If you ever feel like you need to talk to someone, you can call the Samaritans for free on 116 123.

Macmillan Coffee Morning 2022

Macmillan Coffee Morning 2022

TMS Consultancy once again took part in the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning on Thursday 29th September 2022. It was an enjoyable day full of coffee, cakes, and conversations with the tenants of the Business Innovation Centre (BIC). The goal was to fundraise to help further the good works of the Macmillan Cancer Support charity. The event was organised by our office manager, Jan, who did a lovely job as always.

Our bake-off style competition was very competitive, especially as there was a prize (a Sara Miller London Chelsea Cake Slice) up for grabs and was judged by the BIC Centre Manager, Victoria. The baked goods were judged based on the presentation and taste.  This year we had a variety of entries from cupcakes and brownies to banana bread. The competition was strong, but our star baker Lorna Charles, continued to defend her title and was the winner for the second year running. Her entry for this year was Pina Colada cupcakes, which Victoria was really impressed with! She loved the way they looked and tasted.

TMS would like to thank the BIC Tenants for their support and helped an amazing cause. This year we raised £380.20 which was almost double the amount we raised previously, well done to everyone!

TMS will match this donation to bring the grand total to £760.40. We will continue to support the Macmillan charity and look forward to more coffee mornings in the future!
