On a foggy day in November we welcomed an eager band of corporate volunteers from BAM UK and Ireland, and their supply chain for Kirklees Council’s exciting Our Cultural Heart project, to Huddersfield Riverside Nature Park.
A treat for BAM and colleagues
Among the volunteers joining us for the day was Tom Wimpenny, BAM’s senior site manager for the Our Cultural Heart project in Huddersfield town centre. He’s the proud chap currently looking after Phase One of the project, turning the former Queensgate Market Hall and Piazza into a library hub, food hall and public square.

Tom said,
“It’s been great to get out in the environment and do some work in the community, especially at the minute for BAM as we have such a big project on in Huddersfield town centre. It’s lovely for me personally as a local Huddersfield lad to give something back. I appreciate the chance to spend some time in nature, getting a bit of fresh air away from my desk.
It’s a treat to spend some time working in a different way with people from our supply chain too. Usually when we meet it’s very formal. This is a great way to get to know the people we work with on a personal level.”
