JMS Engineers & GC Robertson Christmas Party Night at Milsoms Kesgrave Hall 2025

The JMS Engineers and GC Robertson annual Christmas party is always a highlight in the calendar, and 2025 was no exception. This year, the teams came together at the ever-popular Milsoms Kesgrave Hall, providing the perfect setting for a festive evening away from drawings, calculations, site visits, and Teams calls.

A well-earned night off for our engineering teams

With projects delivered across residential, commercial, civil and structural engineering throughout the year, the Christmas party offered a chance for colleagues from both businesses to relax, catch up, and celebrate the work achieved together. From civil engineers and structural engineers to project support and admin teams, it was a rare opportunity for everyone to be in the same place at the same time - without a programme deadline attached.

Milsoms Kesgrave Hall delivered as expected, with great food, a lively atmosphere, and just enough festive sparkle to remind us that Christmas is, in fact, happening.

Celebrating collaboration across JMS Engineers and GC Robertson

Although JMS Engineers and GC Robertson operate as distinct practices, collaboration sits at the heart of how both teams work. The Christmas party reflected that shared culture - one focused on communication, practical problem-solving, and strong working relationships.

Away from project meetings and technical discussions, the evening allowed colleagues to connect on a more personal level, strengthening the relationships that underpin successful engineering projects throughout the year.

A moment to reflect on 2025

The night also offered a chance to reflect on what has been a busy and productive year. Across 2025, JMS Engineers and GC Robertson have supported clients with:

• Structural and civil engineering design

• Drainage strategies and SuDS design

• Structural inspections and surveys

• Residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects across the UK

The Christmas party was a reminder that behind every drawing issued and report delivered is a team of people working collaboratively to achieve the right outcome for each project.

Festive spirit, questionable dance moves

No Christmas party would be complete without a bit of festive chaos, and this one delivered. From lively conversations to dancefloor enthusiasm (technical ability varied), the night struck the right balance between professional celebration and seasonal fun.

Importantly, it also highlighted something both companies value highly - a positive team culture. One where people enjoy working together, support one another, and can still have a laugh after a long year.

Wishing our clients, colleagues and friends a Merry Christmas

As the festive season continues, everyone at JMS Engineers and GC Robertson would like to wish our clients, colleagues, collaborators and friends a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

We remain open and fully operational over the festive period, continuing to support projects as usual - just with slightly more mince pies and festive playlists in the background.

Here’s to a successful end to 2025 and everything still to come.
