Brookbanks Turns 25!

In 2022 we celebrated our 25th Anniversary!

As the pinnacle of the year, we were delighted to recently host an event for many of our clients to commemorate this huge milestone for our business!

We made sure we started very classy with a drink’s reception, amazing decorations from Balloons of Four Oaks, a fantastic lunch from Hotel Du Vin, followed by our incredible guest speaker who well and truly lifted the roof Dom Joly and finished with Mariachi bands, fun fair games and plenty of fun! We wanted the day to be different and we think it was!

We are a company that is well and truly powered by our people, so many of our team were also present to celebrate with our brilliant clients and partners. If we didn’t say it enough on the day, thank you to all for your support over the past 25 years, now and well into the future. We could not do it without you.

Here’s to the next 25!

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.
