Diamond Build and friends all peak together! Diamond Build, along with numerous friends and colleagues, completed the 3 Peaks Challenge on July 15th
, raising over £20,000 (so
far!) for the charity Children with Cancer. All who took part from the base of Ben Nevis to the summit of Mount Snowden, and all the stages in between, rose to the challenge in their own particular way. There is still plenty of time to go to the Just Giving Page and help celebrate
their triumph whilst supporting the chosen charity – Children with Cancer. This charity funds research in to childhood cancer and in the last three years has committed almost £10 million directly, including the development of research facilities. Cancer claims the lives of 1 in 5 children diagnosed in the UK.

WORKERS’ MOST ANNOYING HABITS REVEALED!
The 2011 UK Worker of the Year (UKWOTY) com- petition has unearthed the British Workforce’s biggest bugbears about their work colleagues. In the spirit of bettering existing work practices, Dickies also asked the question on the Worker of the Year blog: “What most annoys you about your co-workers?” The British workforce was keen to offer its ideas. The nation does indeed march on its stomach, because it would seem on the basis of the responses, that food issues are top.
The fridge monsters who eat other peoples’ food are viewed as pests in the work- place, as are people who eat smelly food in the office and people who leave dirty mugs or plates in the works kitchen.
News from Konserve – Drainwave brainwave A remarkable new drainage product, designed to help ease the UK’s growing water shortage, is seeing rapid uptake by architects and the construc- tion industry after setting a new benchmark for waste water management. Konserve Limited, which owns exclusive rights to the Drainwave system in Britain and Ireland, says the system is now widely available through leading plumbing and builders’ merchants, and is increasingly being specified by architects. The system uses waste ‘grey’ water from baths, basins and items like dish- washers and washing machines, to boost the flow of water flushing modern eco-friendly loos. Drainwave overcomes that problem by boosting
water volumes, ensuring a freer flow and reducing the risk of blockages.
