Anneka's challenge


Taylor Woodrow will star in the BBC's Challenge Anneka programme this Saturday (3 September) when the company attempts to build an indoor riding school for disabled children in 72 hours.

The work involved clearing the site and using precast concrete bases and a steel structure to build the riding school, which measures 50m by 30m.

The firm was approached by the Challenge Anneka programme to build the facility at Wormwood Scrubs Pony Centre in London as facilities were inadequate for a gymkhana. Project manager Bram Paton said: 'This was one of the most challenging and rewarding projects I have worked on. I lost my voice on day two and was totally exhausted at the end.'

The firm was helped by Natta Construction, Costain, British Steel, Robinson Construction, Magnet and Henderson Bostwick and London Electricity.

But if you want to know if they succeeded or not, you will have to wait until Saturday to find out.
