A charity golf day and auction hosted by construction firm Pexhurst has raised £3,000 for LandAid. A group of 45 golfers took to the greens at the Centurion Club in St Albans, including clients from JLL and Cushman & Wakefield. This was followed by an online auction that included a framed boxing glove signed by heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury.
Could you be a mentor?
The Greater London Authority and Mount Anvil have launched the mentoring arm of their Makers & Mentors scheme. The mentorship programme is open to anyone working or interested in the development and construction sector.
The scheme hopes to equalise and diversify the industry, encourage new talent into the sector, and support individuals in their career path.
At a virtual launch event with Tom Copley, deputy mayor for housing and residential development, Mount Anvil managing director Darragh Hurley, said: “There’s a risk that as times get tough more people get left behind. Makers & Mentors gives each of us the chance to both learn and contribute to equality of opportunity for all Londoners.”
