Tim Newcombe, Senior Engineer at Cundall in Birmingham and BCO Graduate of the Year 2021 is a finalist for the BCO NextGen Ideas Project 2022.

Brand new for 2022, the Ideas Project is a reimagined iteration of the BCO’s previous ‘Design Competition’. It’s an idea generating competition, where the parameters are for the participants to decide. The competition challenges entrants to present a bold, innovative and creative concept about the future of workplace.

Tim’s idea fits into the ‘Addressing the Climate Emergency’ focus area and involves enabling office occupants to reduce the energy they use on a day-to-day basis by informing them of their current usage and providing advice on how to reduce it.

Tim was announced as a finalist in June 2022 and will have the opportunity to present his idea to the BCO committee and wider workplace industry later in the year. He will pitch at the Ideas Project Event attended by key leaders from across the industry and have the opportunity to further develop his idea with state-of-the-art public speaking training and supporting workshops.

Congratulations to Tim on this amazing achievement and we’re looking forward to seeing his pitch at the event later this year.
