Macmillan Coffee Morning 2021

Macmillan Coffee Morning 2021

TMS Consultancy are proud to have hosted a Macmillan coffee morning in our new office space with the main goal to raise money for the cancer support charity, while getting to know the other businesses around the Business Innovation Centre (BIC). Organised by our office manager Jan (left), she made sure the coffee morning would be a great success!

To make sure our cakes were the best TMS can offer, we had our own inhouse bake-off competition in which the TMS family and other businesses around the BIC participated by bringing their own cakes to be judged by the other businesses to come through our doors. Our very own Lorna (right) who is our Business Development manager won the competition having baked a white chocolate raspberry loaf cake (recipe here), which everyone loved and now currently holds the title as the best baker at TMS consultancy!

We are extremely thankful for The Business Innovation Centre in Binley Business Park for taking part in our coffee morning having raised £224.79 which TMS Consultancy will match, so that we can bring our total to £449.58 as we continue to actively support the Macmillan charity. We hope that everyone enjoyed the cakes we baked and hopefully we will have more organised soon!

Upturn in Scottish Road Safety Inspectors’ Training

Upturn in Scottish Road Safety Inspectors' Training

In conjunction with our highly successful Highway Inspectors’ training, there has been a noticeable upturn in demand for our Road Safety Inspectors’ training for local road authorities in Scotland.

This training is ideal for both existing and prospective Road Safety Inspectors and complies with all current legislation in Scotland.

Road maintenance is a hot issue for local road authorities, which are increasingly faced with the difficulty of balancing limited budgets against the long-term consequences of lower levels of maintenance, one of which is an increase in the number of civil claims against the authority for compensation for injuries and damage resulting from road defects.

The four-day course follows an IHE-approved syllabus and is delivered in seven distinct taught modules, each concluded by a short, written assessment. In addition, delegates’ ability to identify, evaluate and report highway defects will be assessed in a practical scenario.  The course fully complies with the requirements of the IHE Inspectors Board for highway inspectors’ training.

TMS has carried out in-house Road Safety Inspectors’ training in Dundee, Edinburgh, North Ayrshire, Stirling and West Lothian.  This training has been greatly received and TMS hope to roll out this training to other Scottish Road Authorities in the future.

If you would like to enquire about this training, then please contact Steve Barnard for more information.  Alternatively please call Steve on +44(0)24 7669 0900.
