We were deeply saddened to hear the news that our colleague Joanna’s two and a half year old nephew Nicolas has been diagnosed with Binocular Retinoblastoma, a cancer of the eye.
The disease has caused such severe damage to his right eye that it has now been amputated and Joanna’s family, who live in Poland, are working hard to raise money for pioneering treatment in the UK to save the vision in his left eye and rid him of the cancer, which could spread if left untreated.
The full course of treatment costs £60,000 and thanks to the incredible effort of family and friends, more than half of the total amount has already been raised. As a company we will be taking part in internal fundraising events to help support them in reaching this all-important target, and would encourage anyone who is able to donate to the cause by clicking on the link below (this will need to be translated into English, a function provided by most web browsers):

Alternatively, donations can be made in person to the collection boxes stationed in each of the Rolton Group offices.
We are delighted to announce that Darcy Edwards, Executive Officer to the Chairman at Rolton, has joined BEFA as a Young Leader. The appointment builds on Peter Rolton’s position on BEFA’s Strategic Advisory Board, giving Rolton a unique opportunity to contribute at two critical levels: through established industry leadership and through the experience, priorities, and fresh ideas of the next generation.
We are delighted to welcome Krzysztof Mielnik to the Rolton team as senior consultant for vertical transportation (VT).
Krzysztof’s appointment marks the next step in the rapid growth of our recently launched independent Vertical Transportation consultancy. Led by industry expert Tim Piggott, our dedicated VT team provides comprehensive expertise across the entire lifecycle of advanced lift technology from design and construction to commissioning, handover, and ongoing operational support.
Rolton is pleased to have contributed to the newly launched industry report, ‘Built Environment Strategic Workforce Planning for 2030’.
The comprehensive publication stems from the latest INSPIRE event hosted by the Built Environment Futures Assembly (BEFA). This powerful leadership forum was established by the University of the Built Environment (UBE) to break down professional silos, spark collaboration, and drive excellence across engineering, construction, and real estate.
