At Zip Water, we are proud of the employee benefits we offer our colleagues.
Accessed through a portal, colleagues can view all available employee benefits in one central location and then select their preferred options.
We believe there is something for everyone, from active discounts on gym memberships, nutrition, and sports clothing, to adventure days, spa breaks, and travel. We also offer significant savings on entry prices to many of the UK’s top attractions through the Merlin Entertainments group.
Moreover, we prioritise health and wellbeing with options to join a cycle-to-work scheme and even a health cash plan offering individual or family membership plans. We have a comprehensive Employee Assistance Programme available 24/7, 365 days a year to support colleagues to deal with personal and professional problems affecting their home or work life, health, and general wellbeing. This is complemented by access to a health and fitness app that connects colleagues to trusted information and real-life human experts for free, personalised, and confidential support.
Colleagues can also take advantage of over 30,000 local and national discounts through an employee-only platform. Savings and discounts are spread across over 20 different categories from Electronics, Home & Garden, to Fashion, and even Groceries. Colleagues can save on everything from their weekly food shop to their next foreign holiday, with options to have a discount at the time of purchase or to save reward points to use on future purchases or even as cash back!
We have enhanced family-friendly policies and even offer the option to purchase additional holiday on top of our generous standard holiday entitlement.
Our people are our biggest asset, and we hope these benefits not only support our colleagues every day but also show that we care and are here to help when they need it most.
Mott MacDonald Ltd in partnership with TEN Group invites you to: Technicians through Partnerships in Norfolk: the Business Case.
Advanced Apprenticeship Launch Event.
The education and development of engineering technicians is critical for the success of the UK.
This meeting will demonstrate the business case for a partnership approach as well as explaining the opportunities available, particularly to employers. It will detail case studies in Civil Engineering to show how colleges and the construction industry have worked together successfully in London, Yorkshire, Bristol and Merseyside, offering models that others can follow.
Speakers include:
Eddie Tyrer: Mott MacDonald Ltd
Sheila Hoile: MBE Hoile Associates
Zoe Cater-Owen: Mott MacDonald Ltd
Chaired by: Mott MacDonald Ltd
Who should attend this meeting?
The meeting is being held specifically to inform the construction industry – employers, consultants and contractors, about how employing technical apprentices in Civil Engineering can be of benefit and how participation can be measured as a return on capital investment.
Reasons to attend this meeting
Embedding the opportunity for a professional qualification in the academic course and supporting this through work-based learning will be shown to promote employee self-confidence and lead to motivated and productive employees who understand your business and ways of working. Added to this we will explain the impact of achieving a professional qualification, concurrent with studying, using Technician membership of the Institution of Civil Engineers as a case study.
Colleges are increasingly beginning to
understand why simply offering traditional courses no longer meets employer expectations. Case studies from successful employer consortia already established in England will illustrate how added value can be successfully integrated into courses structures and how advent of the new Technical Apprenticeship in Civil Engineering, is an exciting initiative and how companies can benefit from Government funding to support training costs.
As an industry we have forgotten
that Technical Apprenticeship courses offer the possibility of leading to the highest levels of professional attainment and are a valid alternative to full-time university education.
This conference will enable you to give advice on the choices, based on robust evidence and will show how the Institution of Civil Engineers has acted as a catalyst for change and can be a major contributor to the relevance and quality of vocational courses.
As the construction market is rapidly changing through commercial and technical developments, for example BIM, the Technicians will be at the forefront of this change, allowing your companies to be aware of new developments and enabling your existing staff to learn through these young and enthusiastic construction students.

Engaging in creative activities is known to be therapeutic and enjoyable for children and young people, gaining new experiences and forming meaningful interactions. Our workshops are suitable for complete beginners, with a focus on creating a welcoming environment where everyone can learn to have fun together.
The subject of creative activities can vary hugely and so there is bound to be something suitable to each child’s unique tastes. Not only that, but the format of the workshop can var for individual expression through to collaborative projects, all of which help with emotional and social development, as well as fine-tuning motor skills. They give participants an opportunity for interactive hands-on learning, skills, development and self-expression, offering therapeutic healing and improving mental health and wellbeing.
