Award win for Charley
It was a pleasure for Simpson to be invited to Sainsbury’s Annual ‘Property Strategic Partner Event’ last week, where our Andy Gatenby, Russ Allerton and Charley Knight were in attendance.
The conference held in Birmingham brought together key vendors to discuss Sainsbury's long-term growth plans, featuring keynote speeches from CEO Simon Roberts and senior leaders.
The evening concluded with an Awards Ceremony, and we are delighted and immensely proud to see Charley Knight recognised with the ‘Be Human’ award. This is awarded to “the individual who exemplifies Sainsbury’s value of “be Human” by walking in the shoes of their colleagues and customers and showing care and respect to everyone”.
This award reflects Charley’s outstanding ability to deliver projects with genuine consideration for what matters most to store teams, the wider retail operation, FM, and construction colleagues. A truly well‑deserved achievement.
As a company, we deeply value our partnership with Sainsbury’s and look forward to continuing our collaborative work together.

Hull Maritime Museum Opens its doors.
It's great to see Hull Maritime Museum finally reopen its doors to the public after being closed since January 2020. The opening weekend was a huge success, attracting strong support from residents, visitors, and stakeholders, and marking a proud milestone for the city. With tickets sold out throughout the weekend and plenty of walk-up visitors welcomed too, it was clear there was a real excitement to experience the museum once again.
Having been part of this regeneration project for the past three years, Simpson is incredibly proud to have contributed to bringing this important landmark back to life. It's fantastic to see the museum now open and being enjoyed by so many people
For a peek inside the museum, take a look at this You Tube video.

Simpson supports 'Ash Family Row'
At the beginning of the year we made the commitment to sponsor the Ash Family Row, a fundraising challenge undertaken by the Ash family Charlotte, Camilla, James and Henry who are rowing 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean in memory of Robert Ash, their husband and father, who died by suicide in September 2023.
Their goal is to raise significant funds for the bereavement‑support charity Suicide&Co. They will take on the ‘World’s Toughest Row Atlantic’ in December 2027, travelling unsupported from La Gomera (Canary Islands) to Antigua, aiming to become the first complete family unit to complete the crossing. The challenge is both a tribute to Robert and a mission to ensure others bereaved by suicide receive vital counselling and support.
