Name: David Weight Occupation: Crusading Surfer

There鈥檚 a lot happening at the moment for the Currie & Brown associate. To start with, there is a last-minute plea to Bournemouth鈥檚 Council on 19 September to implement artificial reefs. That started off as a personal campaign and was taken up by the Wessex Surf Club, which he represents. He also represents the British Surf Association.

Then there is the British Surfing Championships later this year. Weight says:

鈥淚t鈥檚 a good way of keeping fit, but it is difficult to balance it with family and work. Luckily I get to travel with my work, as I鈥檓 involved a lot in training and presentations. But my motto is 鈥榤ix business with pleasure鈥�. For example, we have an office in Newcastle so when I鈥檓 there

I can tie that in with the surfing contest there. I鈥檒l be in the veteran section now that I鈥檓 55.鈥�

When he鈥檚 back in the office, Weight develops 鈥楲ive options鈥�, the firm鈥檚 forecasting software which integrates future costs with other variables, such as energy burdens. He says this is just one of his areas of expertise 鈥� but adds that if he could predict costs as well as he could predict the swell, there would be a lot more surfing going on.

Name: Gary McMahon Occupation: Fell Runner

A senior project manager at Concept, Gary McMahon prefers to keep fit on land.

He鈥檚 currently preparing for this year鈥檚 World Mountain Running Championships, to be held in Keswick, in the Lake District.

鈥淭he World Masters Mountain Championship is an annual event and this is the first time it鈥檚 taken place in the UK as it鈥檚 usually run on the continent. Continental races are uphill only, while UK fell races are up and down. This is significant this year because there is a skill to running downhill,鈥� he explains. More than a hundred veteran runners will take part in the televised 12km race.

The event is the latest in a number of mountain runs in which he has taken part this summer, including a half marathon in Chamonix, France and the 10km Snowdon race.

Back in the office, McMahon is one of a team of Concept project managers working on a multi-million pound Local Improvement Finance Trust healthcare scheme.

Work includes an 拢11m health and community centre in Stapleford, and an 拢8.2m health and local authority centre in Clifton鈥檚 main shopping area 鈥� both in Nottinghamshire.

鈥淚n this fleet of professional sailors my coach and I are keen to work on what Clive Woodward calls the 鈥榗ritical non-essentials鈥�, along with my work on the water and fitness programmes to keep the results moving in the right direction,鈥� he said in the company鈥檚 latest Summer Review.
