Education is ultimately about enabling individuals to realise their full potential. It is meant to be a transformative experience, and it needs to take place in a physical environment which enables and encourages the optimum outcome for each student. Whilst acknowledging operational and functional requirements, it is this educational goal that should primarily drive a vision for the future of our educational establishments, and their wider campus as places that are intrinsic to this transformative process.

Educational establishments must continue to develop their campus’s built and natural environments to reflect current pedagogical practices, as well as meeting the expectations of prospective students and professionals.  Upgrading of campus digital learning facilities must be keep pace with industry standards if educational institutions are to produce graduates with cutting edge skills and the expertise to be innovative in the UK’s rapidly evolving digital industries where the pace of change is fast and old technologies quickly become outdated.

Delivery of this infrastructure is particularly crucial in higher education establishments where the campus environment and facilities on offer are key to attracting the most talented students, ensuring courses run cost effectively to full capacity and therefore secure ongoing funding.

The design challenge for professionals is twofold: Firstly, given the pace of innovation and change in modern times how do we future-proof the designed environment to adapt to change, avoid obsoletion and provide longevity for clients?  

Secondly, how can innovation in the design of the educational environment support the development of the digital skills and connections required by local businesses and growth industries to fulfill their growth ambitions?

In 2018 the digitech sector is growing 2.6 times faster than the rest of the UK economy, with overall sector value increased by £14 billion from £170bn in 2016 to £184bn in 2017.(1)  Britain is leading Europe in tech investment, in 2017 it attracted $7.8 billion of funding, almost double the amount received in 2016, compared to France and Germany’s combined total of $6 billion. The Prime Minister reaffirmed that the UK’s leadership is set to grow as the governments modern Industrial Strategy delivers a package of benefits to drive further investment in centres of UK expertise including government funding incentives, and greater access to talent and data under new plans.(2)

Currently, some 2.1 million people are now employed in the digital tech economy and a new digital tech job is created in the UK every 50 minutes.(3)  This makes the digital technology industry a major driver of the UK economy and sets the imperative to boost industry skills and productivity in the East.  

Norwich has a fast growing digital tech economy and is becoming a thriving digital hub, attracting and creating digital tech businesses such as Rainbird AI, Validus-IVC and Epos Now.(4) Located directly on the A11, Norwich has the opportunity to form the educational breeding ground and gateway to the wider A11 Norwich – Cambridge Tech Corridor. This corridor has the potential to bringing with it thousands of jobs and more than £500 million in investment.(5) This advantageous positioning renders the creation of a local digi-tech savvy workforce a strong focus of the education agenda for Norwich in order to capitalise on the opportunity it represents to fuel the growth the sector within the city.

The catalysation of growth in this strategically important sector a requires the nurturing of talent in the next generation of digital technology professionals by providing specialist industry focussed training, skills and business development to support their development.

Ideally situated for the establishment of a Digi-Tech centre of educational excellence, the creation of a flagship Digi-Tech Hub in Norwich with first class educational facilities for the delivery of innovative educational programmes designed to meet the skill requirements and drive innovation within the dynamic and rapidly evolving digital tech industry is vital to the future of the local economy.

So, in answer to the questions posed at the beginning of this article, the design of future-proofed campus environments that have the flexibility to adapt to keep pace with changes in digital technologies must be multi-faceted in its approach.

1. Design in digital infrastructure

The next generation of digital educational spaces need to create an immersive digital-technology environment embedded with future-proof ICT infrastructure which delivers both the capacity and capability to support the latest technology and the provides space to grow and upgrade as necessary to stay at the forefront of teaching ion terms of technological innovation. Achieving this requires a collaborative approach to pool specialist knowledge in order to find innovative ways to deliver cutting edge infrastructure coordinated between architects, project managers and IT specialists to achieve a joined-up result. 

2. Flexibility and adaptability: Anticipate and design for change

In response to changing student profiles and ever-evolving educational policies, educational institutions are coming under increasing pressure to be flexible and dynamic in order to meet government and industry demands and student expectations.

Educational spaces and facilities should be designed not just in response to the current needs of teachers and students but to also accommodate changes and fluctuations to student numbers, courses, educational programming and focus over the coming years. Multidisciplinary practices, accustomed to approaching issues from differing perspectives, are perhaps at an advantage when it comes to designing spaces that can meet the diverse needs of a variety of stakeholders, including education professionals, full time, adult and apprentice students.

As for designing to support the development of the digital skills and connections, the campus built environment is critical to supporting the development of new relationships and collaborations which lead to innovation, new business start-ups and the development of a completive advantage for both educational institutions and the industry sectors which are reliant on the talents and skills of graduates supplied to them by universities and colleges.

3. Create social learning and networking spaces

Social leaning is now recognised by leading universities such as Havard (6) and the University of Sheffield as being essential to creating an engaging leaning environment where people have opportunities to connect and collaborate. Consequently both universities have invested heavily in the design and programming of their campus environments in order to create opportunities for the kind of social interaction that facilitate making connections and foster collaborations across faculties in order to sustain their reputations as lading innovative universities.

“The University has in recent years provided increasing numbers of high quality informal meeting spaces particularly where interdisciplinary discussions can take place. These spaces are essential in a modern research based University which is relying upon innovation between disciplines in order to explore the potential for new research and development. Similar high quality external spaces are lacking and will form a vital component of our Masterplan.” (7) Sheffield University, 2015

A 2011 study by the University of Queensland confirmed that social learning spaces can contribute to enhanced student engagement by fostering active learning, social interaction and belonging amongst tertiary students and suggested that the design of these spaces is integral to students’ perceptions of social learning spaces.

The creation of social leaning spaces and break-out areas for collaborative learning spaces where students can meet with guest speakers, industry experts and other students on different courses is key to creating a dynamic learning environment that reflects the modern day workplace environment.  These spaces create settings where a dialogue can be created between people with a variety of digital tech skill specialisms, facilitating the meeting and exchange of ideas, and through doing so spark new ideas and collaborations that drive innovation.

Pro:works take a holistic view of education that considers the student’s learning experience and learning outside of scheduled classes.  Attention is given to the total leaning environment, including how pedestrian flows and landscape design can be directed and shaped to bring people from different learning disciples together into shared social spaces to create new flexible platforms for both formal learning and informal social encounters across the campus to extend leaning opportunities beyond the confines of classroom walls. As a multi-disciplinary team, Pro:works have the in-house expertise required to integrate these informal social leaning environments to work alongside more traditional classroom areas and computing labs and facilities, staff and storage areas to ensure a robust and seamless integration of both educational and functional facilities to create truly innovative places for learning.

4. Incubate on campus

Student – industry collaborations can be fostered with the provision of on-site digi-tech start-up incubation units which provide talented students, graduates and local businesses with dedicated spaces start up new ventures. These spaces become part of the educational service offering key to attracting students and inviting digital start ups. The integration of education and industry on campus can improve employment prospects and create a fluid transition from college to workplace within a supportive environment. Strong connections and recruitment opportunities can be forged with local companies who can provide a continuous feedback loop on graduates skills sets and emerging skill needs within the digitech industry which can be used to guide the development of courses to ensure they remain at the forefront of digital-technology education.

5. Collaborate

Complex projects, often run to tight delivery timescales require specialist expertise from multiple consultants in order to find creative and innovative solutions to projects within the constraints of the projects required timeframe. This is why a collaborative approach between a network of trusted experts with long standing relationships creates cost effective knowledge sharing that can lead to innovation and facilitate the management of project to bring them to a close on time and on budget. This is the Pro:works collaborative approach. As a multi-disciplinary team with a diverse complimentary skill set, Pro:works are skilled at design, project management and co-ordination as industry specialists. 

A flexible company business model allows us to be adaptable in our approach to meeting the challenges of the fast-paced digital era. As such we are well versed in flexible approaches to design that create relationships which allow for adaptability and move with the times. This kind of flexibility is at the core of our ethos and is translated into our designs to create educational spaces and working practices that can evolve over time to meet the needs of students now and in the future. This design approach facilitates our education sector clients in gaining the competitive edge that allows them to emerge as market-leading educators for the digital generation and to have the flexibility within their built environments to accommodate change to maintain this competitive advantage to support growth and innovation.

Many thanks

Did you know that wolves don’t actually howl at the moon? Despite countless images and stories linking their howling to the lunar cycle, this enduring myth has no scientific basis.

Wolves howl to communicate – assembling the pack, signaling territory, locating members, or coordinating hunts – and they do this during both day and night, regardlesss of the moon’s phase.

What Is a Daily Driver Walkaround Check?

A daily driver walkaround check is a thorough inspection of a vehicle and trailer by the driver before starting their driving shift. It’s a legal requirement and safety-critical task that helps make sure that the vehicle is roadworthy before it goes anywhere.

This check covers both the inside and outside of the vehicle, including the cab, trailer, tyres, lights, brakes, and load security. Any defects found should be recorded and reported so they can be dealt with properly.

The check must be carried out at the beginning of every shift and whenever changing vehicle or trailer during a shift.

Why Are Daily Driver Walkaround Checks So Important?

Daily walkaround checks play an important role in road safety. They help identify faults before the vehicle leaves the yard, reducing the risk of breakdowns, enforcement action, or accidents on the road.

Identifying defects early gives the transport team the chance to fix problems before they become dangerous. It also protects the driver, other road users, and the operator’s licence. Even small issues can turn into serious risks if they’re missed, which is why these checks should never be rushed or skipped.

How to Carry Out a Daily Driver Walkaround Check

A proper daily walkaround check should take around 15 minutes. Before starting, put the tachograph into ‘Other Work’ mode (the crossed hammers symbol). This ensures that the time spent carrying out the check is correctly recorded.

The check should always be done in a consistent order so nothing gets missed. Many drivers start inside the cab and then work their way around the outside of the vehicle and trailer.

Inside the Vehicle Checks

Front View, Mirrors, Cameras, and Glass

Make sure nothing blocks your view of the road. As a general rule, there should be nothing in the sweep area of the windscreen wipers. Some official stickers are allowed, such as an operator licence disc, as long as they don’t seriously obstruct visibility.

Check that the windscreen and front side windows are not cracked, scratched, discoloured, or excessively tinted. All mirrors should be secure, clean, and free from damage. If camera systems are used instead of mirrors, confirm they are working and providing a clear, correct view.

Windscreen Wipers and Washers

Check that the windscreen wipers are present, not damaged or worn, and working correctly. Make sure the washer system operates properly and provides enough fluid to clear the screen.

Dashboard Warning Lights and Gauges

Ensure all instruments, gauges, and warning lights are working correctly. This includes engine warning lights, emissions systems, ABS, and EBS. Warning lights should illuminate and then go out as expected.

Steering

Check that the steering wheel moves smoothly, does not jam, and has no excessive play. Power steering should work correctly, and there should be no excessive movement or lift in the steering column.

Horn

Make sure the horn works properly and can be used easily from the driver’s seat.

Brakes and Air Build-Up

Check that air pressure builds up correctly and that warning systems work. Listen for air leaks and make sure the footwell is clear. Test that the service brake operates both tractor and trailer brakes, and that the tractor parking brake works. The brake pedal should be secure and not excessively worn.

Height Marker

Confirm that the correct vehicle height is displayed in the cab. Remember that height can change if the fifth wheel is adjusted or if the trailer is loaded or unloaded.

Seatbelts

Seatbelts should be free from cuts, fraying, or damage. They must latch securely, retract properly when worn, and fully retract when released.

Cab, Doors, and Steps

Check that cab mountings and tilt devices are secure. Body panels should be firmly attached and not at risk of falling off. Doors should open and close properly, and steps should be secure and safe to use.

Outside the Vehicle Checks

Lights and Indicators

Check that all lights and indicators work correctly and that lenses are clean, secure, and the correct colour. Brake lights should come on when the brake is applied and go off when released. Marker lights should also be fitted and working.

Fuel and Oil Leaks

Make sure the fuel filler cap is correctly fitted. With the engine running, check underneath the vehicle for any signs of fuel or oil leaks.

Body, Wings, and Guards

Ensure all fastening devices work correctly. Cab and trailer doors should be secure when closed. Body panels, landing legs, sideguards, and rear under-run guards must be fitted, secure, and not damaged.

Battery Condition and Security

Check that the battery is secure, in good condition, and not leaking.

AdBlue Levels

Make sure there is enough diesel exhaust fluid (AdBlue) and top up if needed.

Exhaust Smoke

Check that the vehicle is not producing excessive exhaust smoke.

High Voltage Emergency Cut-Off Switch

Confirm you know where the high voltage emergency cut-off switch is located, that it operates correctly, and that all high voltage components are secure and undamaged.

Alternative Fuel Systems

If the vehicle uses an alternative fuel system, check that you know where the fuel isolation switch is, that there are no leaks, and that all visible components are in good condition.

Spray Suppression

If required, spray suppression flaps should be fitted, secure, undamaged, and free from mud or debris.

Tyres and Wheel Fixings

Check that tyres are secure, correctly inflated, and are above the minimum tread depth required. The legal minimum is 1mm, however many operators adopt a 3mm minimum.  Look for deep cuts, bulges, tread separation, or exposed cord. Wheel nuts should be tight, and wheel nut indicators should not have moved. Make sure nothing is trapped between twin wheels.

Brake Lines and Trailer Parking Brake

Check couplings are clean and correctly positioned. Brake lines should be free from damage, wear, or leaks. Test that the trailer parking brake works. After the initial brake test, leave the engine running so air pressure builds and leaks are easier to hear.

Electrical Connections

Make sure all wiring is insulated, secure, and not likely to get caught or damaged. Electrical trailer couplings should be connected properly, and all switches should work as intended.

Coupling Security

Confirm that the trailer is correctly located in the fifth wheel or coupling and that secondary locking devices are in the correct position.

Load Security

Check that the load is stable and properly secured using the correct restraints. If anything doesn’t look right, report it and have it assessed, reloaded, or resecured before driving.

Number Plates, Reflectors, and Markings

Number plates should be clean, correct, and clearly visible. Reflectors must be the right colour, secure, and unobstructed. Vehicle markings and warning plates should be visible, securely fitted, and not obscured by dirt. For dangerous goods, hazard panels must show the correct information.

Other Equipment

Some vehicles have specialist or additional equipment. These items should also be checked as part of the daily walkaround.

How to Record a Daily Driver Walkaround Check

Daily walkaround checks are recorded either in a paper defect book or using a digital defect app.

In a paper defect book, the driver fills in vehicle details such as registration number, odometer reading, and trailer number. Each item on the checklist is ticked as it’s inspected. Any defects must be described clearly, dated, and signed by the driver.

On a digital defect app, each item on the checklist is marked off as it’s inspected. Any defects can be recorded, photographed and sent straight to the transport office and maintenance provider.

If defects are found, they must be reported to the transport manager immediately. Some issues will need to be fixed before the vehicle goes out, while others can be scheduled for repair later. Drivers can also fix minor defects themselves such as topping up fluids and changing wipers or bulbs. Always follow your transport office’s instructions before leaving the yard.

If no defects are found, a NIL defects report must be completed.

What Happens to Defect Reports After Submission

Once a defect report is submitted, either on paper or through an app, the transport office links it to any maintenance or repair work carried out. This proves that defects have been properly rectified.

All defect reports and proof of rectification will be kept on file for a minimum of 15 months and may be checked during audits or inspections.

Why NIL Defect Reports Still Matter

NIL defect reports are essential because they prove the walkaround check was completed, even when no faults were found. Without a NIL report, there’s no evidence that the check took place.

Keeping these records protects both the driver and the operator and shows consistent compliance with safety and legal requirements.

The Benefits of Using a Digital Defect App

A defect app allows drivers to submit reports instantly, without waiting to return to the yard. This reduces delays and removes the risk of paperwork being lost.

Apps can automatically record the time spent on the walkaround check and allow drivers to upload photos of defects. This makes it easier for transport teams and fitters to understand issues quickly and take action.

What are the most common problems found in roadside inspections?

Lighting faults are one of the most common reasons vehicles are stopped at the roadside. This includes lights not working, broken indicators, or missing or damaged reflectors. Even small lighting issues can lead to enforcement action.

Tyre problems are frequently found during roadside inspections. Common issues include low tread depth, damaged tyres, and incorrect tyre pressure. These defects can be dangerous and may result in the vehicle being taken off the road.

Brake and mechanical faults are also regularly identified at roadside checks. These can include air leaks, brake defects, or system warning lights. These issues can affect vehicle control and are taken seriously during inspections.

Walkaround Checks for Other Machinery Like Forklifts

Daily walkaround checks aren’t just for HGVs. Any machinery, including forklifts, should be checked before use and defects recorded in the same way.

The CTS Analysis defect app can also be used for forklifts, helping businesses keep consistent safety records across all vehicles and equipment.

Further Training & Tools

Driver CPC training focused on walkaround checks and defect reporting helps drivers understand their responsibilities and spot issues early. Check out our next Driver CPC covering Vehicle Checks & Defects here.

Tools like the CTS Analysis Defect App make recording and reporting defects quicker and more reliable, while dedicated walkaround check training gives drivers the confidence to carry out checks properly every day.

Industry: Land & Building Surveying

The Challenge

When Tim launched Voller Surveying Services Ltd, he was stepping into self-employment for the first time and with that came a steep learning curve.

“I had no experience of being self-employed as a limited company,” says Tim. “The complexities around self-assessment, taxation, dividends, invoicing, GDPR, and just generally running the financial side were a huge challenge.”

Like many business owners, Tim wanted to spend his time doing what he does best: growing his business and supporting clients, rather than getting bogged down in the admin and tax side of things.

The Solution

“Claire and her team handle all the accounting side of my business,” Tim explains. “Claire, Ruth and Danny are always friendly, professional and offer helpful advice or remind me when I need to do something!”

From managing accounts to providing ongoing guidance, the team’s proactive and approachable support has made it easier for Tim to stay on top of his finances while keeping his focus on the day-to-day running of his business.

The Experience

What stood out most to Tim was the team’s personal touch.

“They’re always approachable. They take the time to reply to all my many questions and respond promptly in a way that makes sense. I feel they genuinely care about my business and its success,” he says.

That genuine care and clear communication have given Tim the reassurance that his finances are in safe hands.

The Results

Since partnering with Jennison Accounting, Tim has seen a real difference:

• Greater confidence in his business finances

• More time to focus on surveying, quoting, and building client relationships

• Tangible improvements in cash flow, time management, and clarity on finances

“All of the above, without question,” he says.

The Recommendation

Tim first came to Jennison Accounting on a friend’s recommendation, and he’s now more than happy to pass that advice on to others.

“I would highly recommend working with Jennison Accounting. They’ve been so valuable in helping my business over the last two years. I have confidence in their ability, which allows me to focus on the areas where I’m skilled to do so.”

As a travel consultant, I aim to bring your travel dreams to life by researching, inspecting, and delivering tailored recommendations. Mid-December, I had the privilege of experiencing five stunning resorts from Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection across Fuerteventura and Lanzarote on a FAM trip.

Each resort showcased its unique charm and the breathtaking beauty of these islands. This hands-on experience allows me to share personal insights, ensuring my recommendations are heartfelt and truly special.

Here are a few interesting facts about Fuerteventura: The island had no electricity in the 1960s. The first tourists visited in the early 1970s, at a time when there wasn’t a single proper road on the island. Back then, the journey from the airport to the resort took longer than the actual flight! Fuerteventura experiences very little rainfall—sometimes going several years without a single drop.
