Project Management Challenge Award

APM Project Management Awards | 18 November 2024
APM Awards 2024 Hero 2

  Congratulations to our Winner  |  Synergy, Babcock International Group - APM South Wales and West of England Regional Network

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. 

Judges comments

If you want evidence that skilled project management can be applied anywhere look no further than Team Synergy’s work for the Ash Rescue Centre in Dartmouth. The charity provides a permanent retirement home for horses, donkeys, and other animals, whilst at the same time creating habitats for wildlife and plants. With no way of monitoring sponsorships, Synergy developed a new customer relationship management system, linked to the website and payment system, that’s delivered an astounding increase in sponsor revenue.

 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.
