BMSI’s aviation team joins forces with MACE to volunteer at local church near Heathrow

/in , /by

BMSI’s aviation team recently rolled up their sleeves for a day of volunteering at a local church near Heathrow Airport. The event, organised in collaboration with MACE, is a testament to BMSI’s commitment to community engagement and giving back to the local area.

 

The day may have started wet, but the team’s spirits remained high as they got to work transforming the Church’s overgrown outside area. Heathrow Airport, which is home to BMSI’s Aviation Region, has always encouraged suppliers to actively engage in the local community and support charities actively working to improve people’s lives. As a company dedicated to fostering its social values, this project was the ideal opportunity for BMSI to prove its commitment to the Heathrow community.

 

MACE, a valued partner in this initiative, allocates two days of volunteering for their staff every year. Whether it’s repainting a play centre, school, or community hub, MACE employees dedicate their time and effort to making a positive impact in the community. When the chance arose for BMSI to participate in a volunteering initiative alongside our long-standing customer MACE, it was a no-brainer. BMSI were only too happy to not only contribute to a great cause – but also solidify the great comradery and partnerships being nurtured via our work at Heathrow.

 

Gary Rackham, Regional Manager at BMSI, shared his insights on the day saying, “The day was exhausting, but we managed to have a laugh and a bit of banter throughout. It was a rewarding experience, helping us bond with colleagues and bringing us closer to the MACE team who we work so closely with day in day out. The BBQ the team put on after was top-notch too!

 

The church was genuinely grateful for our hard work and for our tool donations – which we hope make a genuine difference in maintaining the groundwork we’ve put in place. Working in the area every single day over at Heathrow, it’s good to know that we’re doing our part to give back to the local community.”

 

BMSI will not be stopping at this one-time effort either, alongside MACE, we have agreed to organise a 5-a-side football event that is currently scheduled for November. Watch this space for more information about how you can get involved.

Staying healthy on the road: Top tips

/in , /by

for BMS Engineers BMS engineers are constantly on the move, traveling between sites to ensure site efficiency across multiple projects and deliver a seamless customer service.

With such a busy schedule – and one that demands a lot of time on the road – it’s essential to prioritise health and well-being during these journeys. Here are some practical tips to help fellow BMS engineers stay healthy, motivated, and at the top of their game while on the move.

1. Plan ahead for balanced nutrition: It’s easy to rely on fast food and convenience snacks when traveling, but a little planning can go a long way. Pack healthy snacks like nuts, fruits, and granola bars to curb hunger and avoid energy crashes. And remember, staying hydrated is crucial – always keep a refillable water bottle with you. It sounds simple, but it works.

2. Incorporate short workouts: Sitting for extended periods can take a toll on our bodies. Incorporate short, effective workouts into your routine to help combat this. Even a brisk walk, a few minutes of stretching, or a quick set of bodyweight exercises can boost your energy levels and keep you focused.

3. Prioritise restful sleep: Often easier said than done alongside a busy work schedule and family life – but when juggling travel and work, you really shouldn’t compromise on sleep. Quality rest is essential for optimal performance. Invest in comfortable travel accessories like neck pillows and eye masks and aim for consistent sleep patterns to keep your body and mind as refreshed and focused as possible.

4. Utilise technology for motivation: Listening to your favourite podcast, audiobook, or even a motivating playlist during your travels can lift your spirits and keep you engaged. With a lot of time spent on the road, travel time can be an opportunity to learn and develop your knowledge and skillset – as well as relax, or simply unwind.

5. Try to adopt a mindful mindset: Travel can often be stressful. Adopting a mindful mindset can help make a tonne of difference, especially if you get stuck in traffic or encounter frustrating delays. Practice deep breathing, meditation, or even engage in positive affirmations to maintain mental clarity and manage stress. It might sound or feel silly, but anything that helps lower your blood pressure and calm your mind will have a considerable effect on your immediate, and long term, health and wellbeing.

6. Make the most of downtime: Between site visits, you might find yourself with pockets of downtime. Instead of scrolling aimlessly, use this time wisely. Read industry articles, catch up on professional development, or connect with colleagues to exchange ideas.

7. Stay connected: While traveling, it’s easy to feel disconnected. Keep in touch with your team, whether through regular check-ins or virtual meetings. Feeling part of a supportive network can boost your motivation and productivity and keep your energy levels lifted on long journeys.

Balancing the demands of a BMS engineer with maintaining a healthy lifestyle on the road is not only achievable but essential.

Making a few small changes to your daily routine can enhance overall well-being, helping you to stay motivated, and continue delivering your best. Safe travels and stay healthy!
