Happy holidays from all of us at TPI!
2024 has been a busy year for us-celebrating our 40th anniversary and Investors in People Platinum win with style. We look forward to a restful holiday period and spending time with loved ones.
To spread the holiday spirit this year, we continue to raise money for our ’40 for 40′ charity fundraiser , as well as adding our own additional donation to further the charitable contribution.
We wish you all a joyful festive season and a Happy New Year!
Jane Hewitt’s thoughts on 40 years of Total Project Integration:
“This year marks a significant milestone for TPI as we celebrate 40 years of existence, with our loyal, hardworking and dedicated team who have each in their own unique way played their part in our success and growth. Since our founding in 1984, we have been committed to delivering exceptional services to our valued clients. Over the past four decades, we have evolved from a small startup into a significant SME in our industry, thanks to the unwavering support of our clients and employees.
Our journey began with a vision to create a company who found solutions that make a difference. Through the years, we have embraced change, adapted to new technologies, and continuously strived for excellence. Our success is a testament to the hard work and passion of our team, who have consistently gone above and beyond to meet the needs of our clients.
This is further validated by our achievement of Investors in People Platinum. After holding Platinum status for three years, we are honoured to have been awarded Platinum for a further three, particularly in such a seminal year of TPI’s history. In our 40th year, our team remains dedicated to striving for excellence and embodying our core values of honesty, integrity and transparency.
As we look back on our achievements, we are filled with gratitude for the trust and loyalty of our clients. Their support has been the cornerstone of our success, and we are excited to continue this journey. Looking ahead, we remain committed to innovation, sustainability, and delivering value to all our stakeholders.
Thank you for being a part of our story. Here’s to the next 40 years of success and growth!”
The team had a glamourous and joyful evening celebrating our 40th Anniversary. The Gala Night took place at the stunning Burhill Golf Club, local to our Weybridge office. It was a night filled with glitz and entertainment from a red-carpet entrance to an evening of casino and magic.
A sumptuous meal was had, and rousing speeches made by our management team. Much like the Oscars, awards were presented in the form of long service certificates and our IIP Platinum reaccreditation. The team then danced the night away to music spanning across our 40 years of service.
There are many thank yous to express- firstly to the venue Burhill Golf Course for hosting us and their team for being extremely attentive. To all our entertainment- MC Antonio Falco, Henika the photographer, Roman Armstrong our Magician, Paul & Frances at One4Luck Casino and DJ Dan, we wouldn’t hesitate in recommending all of them for any upcoming events and parties. To Pauline Hedges MBE for being our guest of honour and presenting TPI with our IIP Platinum award. Not forgetting the gorgeous cake by local baker Ali Cakes and 40th Anniversary graphics by Carla Vasey.
Finally thank you to our planning committee of Laura Hall, Amanda Daltrey and Jill Bovington for putting the event together, it wouldn’t have been possible without your hard work.
Here’s to the next 40 years!
September marks our 40th Anniversary in the construction industry. We are so proud to have reached this monumental milestone.
Since 1984, TPI have worked tirelessly as Project Managers and Quantity Surveyors to provide excellent services to our clients and add value to every project. Our high client retention is a testament to the quality service and industry knowledge we provide. Over the last 40 years, we have stayed committed to our core values of Honesty, Integrity and Transparency.
Our team is the backbone of everything we do, without their hard work over the last 40 years, we would not have grown into the successful SME we are today. It is fair to say that TPI epitomises a family business, not only in the two generations of family members who have worked for the company, but in the growth of the once ‘youth academy’ into senior team members and the 9+ employees who have worked for us for over 10 years.
We do have many celebrations and announcements to make in our 40th Anniversary month, but for this moment, let’s reflect on our journey these last 40 years and the wonderful projects we have completed.
Thank you to all those who have accompanied us on this wild ride that is 40 years.
Total Project Integration have been re-awarded Investors in People Platinum.
It is a huge achievement to be awarded IIP Platinum once, but to be reaccredited is a rare feat. We are so honoured to announce that after three years of holding Platinum status we have been granted this accolade again for a further three years. This adds a cherry on top of our 40th anniversary year, giving us one more thing to celebrate.
We talk about our staff a lot and how integral they are to us as business. This award really highlights that we practice what we preach, and that employee engagement and training is vital to our success. Our MD, Jane Hewitt, is a trailblazer in HR and people management, without her vision we wouldn’t have this prestigious award and such a high employee satisfaction and retention rates.
Only 7% of organisations achieve Platinum status and we are incredibly proud to be in that 7%. Thank you to all our staff who have worked towards this accreditation and for everything they achieve on a daily basis.
We are pleased to announce the successful part-demolition of an existing bespoke warehouse extension, to create c.80,000ft2 logistics/distribution facility, with a significantly enhanced yard area and ancillary office space in Petersfield. The premises is located strategically on the A3, 20 minutes north of Portsmouth.
The work has now begun to refurbish the existing site into a modern, ‘CAT A’ standard office and warehouse space for our client PrimeBox and Cedar Invest. This project represents a significant investment in this existing asset, providing a refurbished property to meet an EPC ‘A’ rating. TPI are appointed as Project Managers, Cost Consultants and Employer’s Agents on the entirety of the project
“This is a hugely exciting project for TPI, working together with Cedar Invest and Prime Box for the first time. We look forward to completing this project and working with both on future opportunities.”- Martin Miller (Project Management Lead for TPI).
The project due for completion by the end of 2024.
We are proud to announce the successful completion of the Howdon Yard Redevelopment project for Port of Tyne. TPI worked as Project Manager, Cost Consultant and Owner’s Engineer on the redevelopment of the site to reinstate it as an operational area for the port and prospective tenants.
Works include the reinstatement of pavements and drainage, recladding the transit shed complete with new lighting and doors, reinstatement of the boundary fence and high mast lighting.
We are pleased to have delivered another project for Port of Tyne in our ever-growing Ports & Infrastructure portfolio.
It is Mental Health Awareness week.
TPI want to take a moment to recognise and support all those who have experienced mental health challenges both inside and outside the workplace. At TPI, we work hard to offer important support if a team member is struggling. This year we were
awarded ISO 45003 for Occupational health and safety management.
We pride ourselves on being a people first business and actively foster a culture of non-judgemental support. Our team is equipped with vital resources to protect their mental wellbeing including private counselling services with New Foundation Counselling and the support of a mental health first aider Amanda Daltrey, alongside information on further specialists and help.
This year, Mental Health Foundation’s theme is Movement as nourishing the body helps to nourish the mind. So, please enjoy video of our team getting together and participating in sports events and socials from rowing to rounders across the year.
40 years isn’t the only work milestone we are celebrating this year!
TPI pride ourselves on our people, we are an IIP Platinum employer, and what really embodies this is our staff retention. We wanted to take this moment to recognise our employees who have stood the test of time and are celebrating significant work anniversaries with us this year.
Congratulations to:
With many more team members close to hitting the 10-year mark.
We will never stop being thankful to our team for their ongoing commitment to TPI, they are at the heart of everything we do.
TPI have been appointed on BizSpace’s framework to improve the EPC rating of their Commercial Portfolio. Alongside sustainable engineering specialists Envision, TPI are pleased to be working as PM, QS and EA on a strategic, UK-wide energy efficiency upgrade of BizSpace’s existing commercial buildings in order to achieve a “B” EPC rating to aid compliance with the minimum energy efficiency standards (MEES).
Each site brings unique challenges and opportunities due to their very nature (from offices, studios, workshops to light industrial), age and condition.
It is a priority to BizSpace that all works are carried out with minimal disruption to their tenants, therefore, allowing clients to focus on their business without any impact to their operations.
These improvements will facilitate our client’s strategic vision in providing more sustainably minded managed workspaces.
Our team had a whirlwind time at Propski 2024.
As newbies to the event, Luke Roberts and Danny Waters got stuck right in, throwing themselves into every event available, on and off the slopes. They took part in everything from Tobogganing & Ski Racing to Savoyard Dining Experiences and Après Ski. Of course, they could be spotted carving through the snow with their ski groups.
Over the three days, as well as having a lot of fun, they did some hard-core networking. The team were overwhelmed by the warm reception from the other attendees and made valuable contacts during their trip. All in all, a great success.
As an employer, nurturing new talent is important to us, assisting their learning from the word go. Many of our senior team members began as apprentices or recent graduates at TPI and now boast 10+ years’ worth of experience in the industry.
Great examples of this are Chris Williams and Aaron Burchett, our most recent team members to go through our apprentice scheme. They have made substantial contribution to projects at TPI and continue to carve out their names in the industry. Both are currently studying at London South Bank University to achieve chartership. We look forward to seeing their progression in the years to come.
This is what Chris has to say about his time as an apprentice:
“The structured learning framework of my apprenticeship has enabled me to combine practical knowledge with theoretical insights, fostering a well-rounded approach to problem-solving.
This combination of practical experience and academic learning has not only equipped me with the tools to excel in my role but has also instilled a sense of confidence.
Having exposure to many other candidates and peers on my course has not only given me a sense of teamwork (Replicated within the workplace) it has also provided me with great friendships that I hope will continue after completing my course.”
We are proud of our apprenticeship scheme at TPI and the talented individuals who have come through its doors.
