London to Brighton - Charity bike ride

We hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine and getting ready for the Queens Jubilee! Just to remind our fellow bloggers the Engineering department is taking part in the London to Brighton 60 mile bike ride on the 17th June 2012. This year has been the biggest charity challenge for the team at Bailey Finch Associates, but the charities we are raising money for are such worthy causes we are more determined then ever to raise as much money as we possibly can. With proceeds going to the Ellen Macarthur Trust, Isle of Wight Hospice, Children in Need and Hounds for Heroes we really do appreciate all your support and would like to thank you for any donations.

250 Engineering Jobs in Cornwall

250 Jobs may be created with thanks to the Western United Mines (WUM) as they increase their activity across their sites in Cornwall. The mining company have recently been exploratory drilling at the South Crofty mine near Cambourne for the past 18 months and is set to begin activities across additional sites in the area.

The mine which is Europe's last Tin mine, closed in 1998 but was shortly bought by WUM in 2001 with the firm saying they will spend £50M on restarting the mine.This said, another £3.5M is being spent in the next seven months on continuing the mine development.

Rising Tin prices has given the mine, which first opened in the late 16th Century, another 80 years of life.
