The location for this year's AGM meeting was Garsington, Wormsley Estate.  

The Momentum team have worked on a number of the estate's buildings, including the opera house and lake pavilion, and more recently Garsington Studios, where the day's activities took place.

As well as a review of the year, a feedback session with staff, a detailed insight into the engineering of the studios, presentations from our civils and marketing departments, we also hosted the annual Momentum Sustainability Awards and had some fun delivering a variety of workplace tasks and activities with some team building amateur dramatics. Think Monty Python meets Taskmaster meets the Oscars!

A great day with the Momentum team spent in a beautiful location.

A very special thank you to all at Garsington Opera Wormsley Estate for hosting us.

The Momentum AGM 2024 took place last week and we were very excited to be able to host it within a Momentum project.

The School Green Centre in Shinfield is a community building we worked on with AOC Architecture which has recently been shortlisted for a RIBA South Award 2024.

An overview of the past year's activities and achievements started the day, followed by a staff feedback session.

Then we took part in the AGM Challenge, created by two of our London Graduate Engineers, which required teams making a variety of unique structures from a limited supply of craft material.

It was also the inaugural ceremony for our Sustainability Awards, THE MOMSAs.      

Our London Office Manager Kelly Bagnall spoke to Mental Health at Work, a website curated by Mind, about why joining their Commitment and mental health in the workplace is important to us.

At Momentum, we aim to create a positive culture towards mental health in the workplace.
