Brookbanks Donates to Kingfisher Foodbank

The Brookbanks Difference / News / Brookbanks Donates to Kingfisher Foodbank

Brookbanks is proud to have raised £1,520 in total for Cancer Research this month as some of our team took part in the Pretty Muddy Fundraiser Challenge. But it doesn’t stop there…

In July, we have donated £1,000 to the Kingfisher Foodbank, who provide an important service to those less fortunate in the surrounding areas of our Head Office in Birmingham. In the UK, more than 14 million people are living in poverty – including 4.5 million children. The Trussel Trust is an amazing charity that provide emergency food and support to people locked in poverty, through a nationwide network of more than 1,200 food banks across the UK. At Brookbanks, we believe this to be a really important cause that requires high appreciation.

We are always looking for new ways to support great causes… we can’t wait to see where our next fundraiser takes us and has us doing!

Brookbanks Webinar: Closing the Loop – Rethinking Sustainable Buildings

June 9, 2026

In this webinar, Katie Glaze and Grant Vasey explore how sustainable design must move beyond traditional RIBA stages to better reflect how buildings actually perform in use. The session focuses on the disconnect between design intent and operational reality, and why long-term performance depends on evolving ownership, real user behaviour, and ongoing feedback. Drawing on practical experience and case studies, Katie and Grant highlight how current tools and assessment methods, including TM54, LCA/WLC and NABERS, often fall short in capturing real-world performance. The webinar is aimed at those working across design, engineering, and development who are looking to better understand operational outcomes and deliver more effective, sustainable buildings.

Podcast #18: Design of Transfer slabs and efficient structures

June 2, 2026

As development sites become more constrained and expectations around multi-use building designs continue to rise, structural engineering choices are playing an increasingly important role in successful delivery. In our latest podcast, “Design of Transfer slabs and efficient structures,” Ben is joined by Chris Vivian and Devi Varatharajan to explore current industry trends in concrete design. The discussion focuses on how transfer slabs impact construction efficiency, carbon footprints, and why early-stage engagement is critical to optimizing building design.
