Movember

Well Mobrothers and Mosistas, Movember has become as integral to office life this month as "Cake Tuesday" (which has now become "Christmas dish Tuesday"). The guys in the office are raising awareness and (hopefully) money for the Prostate Cancer Trust throughout November by donating their upper lips, and in some cases cheeks, to grow the ultimate in gentlemanly accessories: The Moustache

Special mention to the girls who are supporting all the way, but are finding it hard to grow moustache's themselves. If you do get the chance, please visit our Movember page HERE and donate any amount you can. Rest assured it will be appreciated!

Birks Phase 1 Handover

The first phase of Birks Hall for UPP at the University of Exeter has been handed over. This comprises two blocks. One contains 143 student bedrooms arranged in 7-8 bedroom cluster flats, and the other contains 128 studio bedrooms and a wardens flat, plus the UPP Residential Services regional office, associated ancillary space and student laundry.

The project so far looks like it will be a great success, with both the University and UPP declaring their delight at the quality of the first two buildings to be completed. Only 8 more to go!
