News & Updates Investing in the future of our industry Building the future of our industry starts with investing in the next generation. That’s why we were proud to support the fantastic work of the Construction Youth Trust at our client event in London. For nearly two decades, the Trust has been helping young people across London explore careers in construction and the built environment, connecting them with opportunities, developing their skills and helping them build brighter futures. Their work not only changes individual lives but also helps address one of the industry’s biggest challenges: attracting and developing future talent. Thanks to the generosity of everyone who attended, we are proud to have raised more than £900 in support of their vital work. A huge thank you to all our guests, colleagues and partners who contributed on the day. Every penny raised will help the Trust continue inspiring young people and opening doors to careers across our sector. As an industry, we all have a role to play in creating opportunities and ensuring construction remains an accessible, diverse and rewarding career path for future generations.

News & Updates Black Cat takes on the Elifar Challenge! 🏆 A valiant team from Black Cat + BCAM swapped surveys, strategies and spreadsheets for a day of competition at the annual The Elifar Foundation Challenge, joining businesses from across the retail property industry to raise money and awareness for a fantastic charitable cause. The challenge tested both body and mind, with teams taking part in a wide range of physical and cerebral activities throughout the day. While we’re not quite troubling the Olympic selectors just yet, we were delighted to finish a respectable 15th out of 20 teams, with plenty of determination, teamwork and good humour on display along the way. The Beaconsfield weather certainly kept us on our toes, serving up everything from sunshine to torrential rain, but thankfully we’d brought enough of our brand new Black Cat hoodies for the 200+ attendees to get themselves warmed up after a proper soaking. At times it looked like a Black Cat convention! 😆 Most importantly, it was a brilliant opportunity to support an important cause, spend time together outside the office and enjoy some friendly competition with colleagues and peers from across the sector. A huge thank you to the organisers (especially BCAM’s very own Rosalyn Rudman), the volunteers and everyone who took part. We’ll be back next year aiming to climb a few places up the leaderboard! 💪 The Team: Captain Ruth Moorhouse, Tim Cornford, Ginny Ashcroft MRICS, Henry J.B. Smith, Ben Gibson, Annie Gardiner & Andy Clow The Elifar Foundation helps to improve the lives of children and young adults with severe learning and physical disabilities.

News & Updates Green Light for £10m Rhyl Skills Workshop This week, our Public Sector Project Management team, led by Amie McGagh, secured planning permission for a new £10m Motor Vehicle and Construction Workshop in Rhyl for our valued client, Grŵp Llandrillo Menai. This is a significant milestone for the project and testament to the hard work of the Black Cat and wider project team, who successfully guided the scheme through the Welsh Pre-Application Consultation (PAC) process and achieved full planning consent within a very ambitious programme. The project will see the demolition of the existing automotive workshop, replacing it with a new 60,000 sq ft, state-of-the-art, purpose-built facility. The new workshop will support progression into advanced technical skills, helping to broaden and deepen workforce capability for priority economic sectors in Rhyl and the wider region. The development will provide a range of automotive and construction training facilities through carefully designed workshops, alongside high-quality spaces for staff and learners. The scheme is targeting an EPC A rating and will also support improvements to the wider site’s environmental performance, accessibility, outdoor areas and social spaces.
