News & Updates Black Cat takes on the Elifar Challenge! ???? A valiant team from Black Cat + BCAM swapped surveys, strategies and spreadsheets for a day of competition at the annual The Elifar Foundation Challenge, joining businesses from across the retail property industry to raise money and awareness for a fantastic charitable cause. The challenge tested both body and mind, with teams taking part in a wide range of physical and cerebral activities throughout the day. While we’re not quite troubling the Olympic selectors just yet, we were delighted to finish a respectable 15th out of 20 teams, with plenty of determination, teamwork and good humour on display along the way. The Beaconsfield weather certainly kept us on our toes, serving up everything from sunshine to torrential rain, but thankfully we’d brought enough of our brand new Black Cat hoodies for the 200+ attendees to get themselves warmed up after a proper soaking. At times it looked like a Black Cat convention! ???? Most importantly, it was a brilliant opportunity to support an important cause, spend time together outside the office and enjoy some friendly competition with colleagues and peers from across the sector. A huge thank you to the organisers (especially BCAM’s very own Rosalyn Rudman), the volunteers and everyone who took part. We’ll be back next year aiming to climb a few places up the leaderboard! ???? The Team: Captain Ruth Moorhouse, Tim Cornford, Ginny Ashcroft MRICS, Henry J.B. Smith, Ben Gibson, Annie Gardiner & Andy Clow The Elifar Foundation helps to improve the lives of children and young adults with severe learning and physical disabilities.

News & Updates Supporting Zeta Analytical’s next stage of growth Supporting Zeta Analytical’s next stage of growth ???? As Zeta Analytical continues to expand its business operations in Watford, the company needed larger premises that could support its growing requirements and provide the right environment for both office and laboratory functions. Black Cat’s Sam Sims and Samuel Jennings were instructed to deliver a comprehensive fit-out package, including the installation of a mezzanine floor and the subsequent fit-out of new office and laboratory accommodation.  https://bcplugin.centillioncorp.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Zeta-Anayltical-phase-1-case-study.mp4 Our appointment included the preparation of initial design drawings by Alan Down, development of Mechanical & Electrical specifications tailored to Zeta Analytical’s operational needs, Principal Designer services by Tony Threadgold under the Building Regulations, procurement and tender management, and full Project Management from initial instruction through to practical completion. The result is a purpose-built workspace designed to support Zeta Analytical’s continued growth, providing the flexibility, functionality and technical capability required for the next phase of their business.

News & Updates Green Light for £10m Rhyl Skills Workshop This week, our Public Sector Project Management team, led by Amie McGagh, secured planning permission for a new £10m Motor Vehicle and Construction Workshop in Rhyl for our valued client, Grŵp Llandrillo Menai. This is a significant milestone for the project and testament to the hard work of the Black Cat and wider project team, who successfully guided the scheme through the Welsh Pre-Application Consultation (PAC) process and achieved full planning consent within a very ambitious programme. The project will see the demolition of the existing automotive workshop, replacing it with a new 60,000 sq ft, state-of-the-art, purpose-built facility. The new workshop will support progression into advanced technical skills, helping to broaden and deepen workforce capability for priority economic sectors in Rhyl and the wider region. The development will provide a range of automotive and construction training facilities through carefully designed workshops, alongside high-quality spaces for staff and learners. The scheme is targeting an EPC A rating and will also support improvements to the wider site’s environmental performance, accessibility, outdoor areas and social spaces.
