Brookbanks Sportive 2025

The Brookbanks Difference / News / Brookbanks Sportive 2025

Yesterday, the Brookbanks team came together for an unforgettable day of cycling, community, and charity at the Brookbanks Sportive 2025. Held in the scenic Chilterns around Watlington, the event offered four route options: 14 miles, 33 miles, 57 miles, and 83 miles catering to everyone from casual riders to seasoned cyclists.

The atmosphere was electric as clients, employees, and supporters gathered at the Watlington Cricket Club Pavilion, ready to take on the challenge and raise funds for a cause close to our hearts. Thanks to the incredible generosity and enthusiasm of all involved.

We are proud to announce that we raised £16,384, with money still rolling in for the Lingen Davies Cancer Fund, a charity dedicated to improving cancer prevention, treatment, and support across Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin, and Mid Wales.

This year’s fundraising was especially meaningful, inspired by the journey of our own Danny Lloyd-Jones, Associate Utilities Director and Trustee of Lingen Davies, whose personal battle with cancer has motivated our commitment to supporting this vital organization.

A Huge Thank You

We extend our heartfelt thanks to:

  • All our sponsors, whose support made this event possible.
  • Our clients and employees, who showed up in force, pedalled with passion, and helped us surpass our fundraising goal.
  • Sportive UK, for expertly organizing the routes and logistics, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience for all riders

From feed stations stocked with snacks to scenic countryside views and a shared sense of purpose, the Brookbanks Sportive 2025 was more than just a bike ride it was a celebration of resilience, community, and giving back.

We look forward to making next year’s event even bigger and better. Until then, thank you for riding with us and supporting Lingen Davies.

The Risk of Stalling Healthcare Projects

May 12, 2026

The Risks Stalling Healthcare Projects There's a version of every healthcare project that looks deliverable on paper. The site sits within the right catchment. It's in the strategic outline case. The ICS has signed off on the clinical model, the design team have done something genuinely thoughtful with the brief, and the project team is cautiously optimistic about hitting the OBC submission window. Then the ground investigation comes back… or the highways authority raises a junction capacity objection that nobody reviewed thoroughly during site selection. Or the drainage strategy is finalised two weeks before the planning committee, and the mitigation required has discreetly added seven figures to a capital budget that is already full of assumptions. This might be “just how things are”, but it’s important to remember that healthcare projects carry specific consequences that a delayed commercial scheme may not have.
