The KDC team recently took on an incredible fundraising challenge in support of Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance, bringing colleagues together across two events – a 160-mile charity bike ride and the 5km Seaside Scramble.
Over two days, the team cycled coast-to-coast from our Bristol office to Bournemouth. Despite a few early technical setbacks and some tough moments along the way, the team showed real determination and teamwork from start to finish.
The challenge concluded with the Seaside Scramble, where more members of the KDC team joined in to support the cause. It was a brilliant way to round off the fundraising, finishing together as one team.
In total, £2,743 was raised for Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance. During the event, the team also had the opportunity to speak with Dr Phil Hyde, Medical Director, who shared just how vital community fundraising is to keeping the service running.
As he explained, the support “means a huge amount” and enables the team to reach patients and deliver life-saving care when it’s needed most.
A huge thank you to everyone who took part, donated, and supported along the way. The commitment and generosity shown has made a genuine difference.
It might be hard to conceive of a time when safety was not an important industry trend, but we do not have to look that far back. As modern systems become more complicated, the importance of safety engineering will only increase. But how do we specifically define safety engineering, and how has it changed throughout its existence?
KDC Projects has formally signed the Armed Forces Covenant.
In March 2023, Australia joined the UK and US in a trilateral agreement to design and implement the next generation of nuclear submarines. Named the SSN-AUKUS deal, it’ll see Australia and the UK’s current fleets of Astute and Collins class submarines replaced by the same model. This has the potential to be a ground-breaking agreement for creating the future of underwater defence. To understand more, let’s look at the deal in more detail and the UK’s role in it.
