4) If you could own any Building in the UK what would it be and why?
It would be so easy to say The Royal Mint or Tower of London because of the content, but I’m going slightly closer to home with The Hook Norton Brewery. Both because it is the most wonderful piece of chaotic, Heath-Robinson architecture, housing an original Victorian steam-driven brewing process, but also because of the fantastic product. It’s hardly a unique philosophy, but never be afraid to surround yourself with great people. I think it’s paraphrasing something Henry Ford once said. 6) What’s the funniest/oddest situation you have found yourself in within the property industry? An architect, an engineer, a project manager and a builder in an aging Volvo, trying to set a record for the number of countries they could visit in 24 hours. All in the name of charity. 5) What’s the secret to your success?
Mark Halstead Director of Programme & Project Management 1) What’s your current role within Essentia Trading? Director of Programme & Project Management. So overall responsibility for how we deliver programme and project management services across our two offices. As we continue to grow, ensuring we preserve the culture, values and identity that makes us different. So continuing to work closely with our clients, delivering really exciting projects, focusing on high quality services, and providing a great work environment for the team to thrive within. 3) Briefly describe where you feel the property industry needs to change in the coming years to keep evolving? Skills shortages across the industry are well documented, but I never think we do enough to sell the varied and rewarding careers that construction and property can offer. If we wish to attract and retain bright and capable people, we need to do better at selling ourselves and making it a compelling career choice. 2) What are the biggest challenges you currently see your organisation facing?
7) What did you want to be when you grow up?
A professional musician.
8) What’s your favourite London Pub/ Restaurant or Bar?
Several of my colleagues would expect me to say one of the BrewDog ones as I bang on about them a little too much, although my favourite one is in Oxford, not London. I’m somewhat partisan like that.

Annual Report on Widening Participation and Outreach (WP&O) | 2013–14 NICU EXPANSION, ST THOMAS’ HOSPITAL Case Studies
This project was one of the early phases of the Evelina Children’s Hospital Phase 1 Expansion programme.
Whilst modest in capital value at just £1.7m, the project involved many complex challenges to the stakeholders and our Project Management Team:
• Reconfiguration within an existing fully operational Neonatal Intensive Care Unit to provide additional capacity within a confined space • The need to fully mitigate the impact of the works on existing clinical capacity, i.e. ensuring ‘business as usual’ • Redesigning the infrastructure to cope with the expansion • Limitations on access for pre-commencement surveys due to the presence of asbestos • The subsequent identification and removal of asbestos • Managing a complex stakeholder group Careful planning, a robust communication plan with stakeholders and the contractor, the establishment of a strong working relationship and shared objectives across the Project Team and participants all contributed to the successful delivery of the project.

Overview:
Our Project and Cost Management team’s involvement in the Evelina commenced in 1999 as part of the successful team commissioned to design and deliver the Evelina Children’s Hospital and continues 18 years later with the delivery of the Phase 1+ development and planning for the Phase 2 major expansion, in all some 60,000m² of accommodation.
Phase 1+ Expansion
The £40m programme of works comprises a series of projects aimed at ensuring the services at Evelina can meet the service requirements over the next 5-10 years. The final projects have now commenced construction and will be completed in 2018.

Annual Report on Widening Participation and Outreach (WP&O) | 2013–14 EVELINA CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL (Continued) Case Studies
ELCH Expansion Programme Phase 2 – 2014 to current
A major expansion of the existing hospital, providing some 35,000m² of additional clinical and support facilities including specialist services and projected growth through to 2026 with a scheme cost of circa £350m. The ETL Team has led in developing viable estates options for this significant development on the constrained St Thomas’ Campus. This has included supporting the Trust’s recently completed, investment focused Master Planning Study for both the St Thomas’ and London Bridge campuses ensuring that the Evelina expansion proposals are at the forefront of the Trust’s long-term vision. The Essentia team has led on the commissioning and implementation of a number of feasibility studies to examine in greater detail shortlisted Estates options and has recently completed a ‘Proof of Concept’ study ahead of procuring a Contractor Led Design Team to take the programme to the next stage of definition during 2018.
Successes and Challenges
The ETL team has a broad bandwidth that enables our service lines to be fully integrated with the delivery of our consultancy services, tailored to suit the requirements of our clients and their projects. This ensures that we are actively engaged in delivering all processes which influence capital and future revenue costs to ensure optimum outcomes are delivered.

The Project
The Outcome
The Biotechnology and Biological Science Research Council (BBSRC) provided £125.5m of capital investment for The Pirbright Institute’s Development Programme Phase 2. The development will provide world-class science research facilities to tackle livestock animal viral diseases to benefit the UK and overseas. The buildings are technically complex and are delivered at a secure site, within a highly regulated environment, utilising specialist supply chains. Working closely with the BBSRC Head of Estates, alongside other delivery partners, we delivered programme management support services. We have formed and operated Programme Boards and Project Boards to give strategic and focused direction to the activity; led specific interventions to address affordability and regularity challenges; written and updated business cases and managed stakeholder relationships. Our Unique Approach
We have built a culture and reputation for effective delivery, which assures BBSRC that programmes in which we are involved, are being managed properly and will deliver the expected benefits. ETL’s long term and committed support has signif- icantly enhanced the success of this challenging programme which improves and maintains the UK’s position at the forefront of World Class Livestock Animal Research – this trusted relationship is critical to the delivery of the outcomes and the realisation of the benefits of the programme.
