As a proud sponsor of the Charity Ball, Eastwood & Partners was thrilled to see so much money raised for such a wonderful cause as Weston Park hospital.
A grand total of £30,500 was raised towards the Sheffield hospital which is a centre of excellence in the fight against cancer.
Two of our recent University of Sheffield Graduates were pleased to return to support the Civil Engineering Careers Fair at the University of Sheffield.
Our Engineers and HR Manager did a great job discussing projects, benefits of working for the company and generally putting across the spirit of Eastwood & Partners to the enthusiastic students.
Last week we said a fond farewell to Mark Jones, one of our Senior Structural Engineers, after 11 years of working at Eastwood & Partners (and many more years within the industry).
As well as being a seasoned Structural Engineer, Mark is also a founding member of The Barlow Red Barrows a group who perform at numerous carnivals and country shows throughout Derbyshire during the summer months. They have just completed their fifth year and have performed this year by popular demand at Tideswell, Bakewell, Hope Show, Birchover, Hartington and Turnditch.
Each year they raise money for local charities and this year they are supporting Nenna Kind in Chesterfield, a charity who provides cancer support care and free transport for patients and relatives from Chesterfield to Weston Park Hospital in Sheffield.
Mark asked not for a retirement gift, but for monetary contributions to The Red Barrows, which, when added to the funds already raised, are likely to exceed £5000 this year – a lovely gesture. The company presented him with a bottle of champagne, a donation to put towards the charity and a group photo to remember us by.
Our Managing Director, Phil Richardson said in his farewell speech, “Mark has been a wonderful and integral part of the Eastwood’s team and will be greatly missed. Enjoy your retirement, Mark - you deserve it”
With over 45 years’ experience, Eastwood & Partners have successfully home-grown a number of outstanding Engineers, with many of our previous Graduates now Directors. We are therefore excited to welcome our newest intake of Graduates and Apprentices. We hope to watch them grow and develop both personally and within their teams. Here is a bit more about them...

Since joining, I have been involved in a wide variety of projects, including housing developments, timber framed offices and a range of steel framed buildings. These have been invaluable in helping me gain experience across various sectors of the field.”
