Did you know that each year, over 30,000 people in the UK experience an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, with survival rates of less than one in ten?

Giving CPR and using a defibrillator can more than double someone's chance of survival. That's why it's so important for all of us to be prepared.

As part of Learning at Work Week, we are highlighting an amazing initiative from the British Heart Foundation. With RevivR, you can learn CPR in just 15 minutes through their interactive, online training course. Best of all, it's free!
Here's why you should give it a try:

💓 Fast & Easy: In just 15 minutes, you’ll learn lifesaving skills and receive a CPR certificate.
💓 Convenient: All you need is your mobile phone or tablet and a cushion to practice on.
💓 Flexible: Start the training now or save it for later – it can be sent straight to your inbox, ready when you are.

Many of us will witness a cardiac arrest in our lifetime. Be ready for that day with RevivR.

Let’s make a difference together!

If the first annual Solomons team awards were a hit – then the second edition went off with a real bang! Not only was there a record number of nominations, but the quality rose to new heights as team members vied for honours across six award categories.

A huge well done to Rob Branwood (Cultural Ambassador), Mark Coburn (Mentor of the Year), Dawn Bowker (Secret Superhero – for the second year running!), Alex Sheldon (Community Impact Champion) and Carl Wright (Rising Star).

And a separate mention goes to Mike Millett, who picked up the Special Recognition Award for his NEC® Handbook – a real labour of love that will certainly be cherished by colleagues for many years to come.

It’s that time of year again – the return of the Solomons Europe Staff Awards, or as they have become affectionately known amongst the team as The Dom Oscars!

Six awards are up for grabs: Rising Star, Cultural Ambassador, Mentor of the Year, Secret Super Hero, Community Impact Champion (new for 2023) and last but not least, the highly coveted Special Recognition Award.

The winners are being announced internally today, and we’ll reveal all early next week.

Presentations will be made at the Solomons Christmas party which takes place tomorrow night, when team members from across our North West, North East and Cumbria regions will gather in their glad rags to celebrate another busy and successful year!

Let the celebrations commence!

Huge congratulations to Swimming with the Big Fish SME Matchmaker Service businesses who walked away with honours at the Britain’s Energy Coast Business Awards 2023, which took place in West Cumbria last night.

It was a cracking evening for PAR Systems, who won the Growing Business title and – alongside fellow Matchmaker SME Cumbria Operations and Maintenance Services (COMS) and Forth Engineering – scooped the Collaboration award for their joint venture Resolve Engineered Solutions.

The Centre for Leadership Performance picked up the hotly contested Inspiring People award, while RB Electrical Services was Highly Commended in the Microbusiness category.

It was clear that each award was tough to call, so congratulations also go to finalists William King Construction (Growing Business), RAF Engineering (Inspiring People), Lucy Harrison of the Harrison Network and Anand Puthran of McMenon Engineering (both Business Person of the Year) for making the final cut. And the same goes to Programme and Project Partners (Sustainability: Social Value) and Key Delivery Partner Balfour Beatty Kilpatrick (Sustainability: Environmental).

You’re all winners in our eyes!

116 SMEs have registered with the Swimming with the Big Fish SME Matchmaker Service delivered by Solomons Europe, in a bid to secure work through PPP, a £7bn framework of megaprojects which aims to transform project delivery, the supply chain and socioeconomic landscape of West Cumbria.

Registered businesses are already on the top of their game – committed to delivering project excellence while at the same time investing in the local economy, whether that’s creating new jobs and apprentices, establishing new or expanding existing facilities and offices, or delivering social impact activities that make a real difference to the lives of local people.

So, it’s no surprise their work is recognised with awards such as this. Keep up the sterling work!
