Team Synergy (Babcock, Devonport Plymouth) worked with Ash Rescue Centre, a Dartmouth based charity, providing a permanent and holistic retirement home for horses, donkeys, and other animals, whilst at the same time creating and sustaining habitats that encourage wildlife, birds, and native plant species.
Ash Rescue had no way of monitoring or tracking sponsorships, and hence the team delivered a customer relationship management system which links to their website and payment system. The charity has already reaped multiple benefits from the implementation of the new software and have seen an astounding increase in sponsors since project handover.

Finalist | PM Dream Team, Mott MacDonald - APM Thames Valley Regional Network
Inspired by an internal exercise that highlighted the issue of burnout within our organisation, we decided to focus on providing support materials and raising awareness about mental and physical resilience within Mott MacDonald. Collaborating with our unit’s Wellbeing team, we organized a hybrid workshop focused on developing mental and physical resilience featuring expert speakers.
Additionally, we created a Resilience Handbook, available on Mott MacDonald’s intranet, offering tips to enhance and maintain mental resilience. Through this project we further developed our project management skills, including change control, risk management, and benefits realisation.
