People ask me who I work for...

8/8/2012

 
...and, when I tell them: 18% will ask for dietary advice, 78% will look blank and 4% will nod approvingly.  The latter will then tell me they either a) live in Epsom or b) are engineers by profession. In response to the 96% then seeking to understand what we do, I generally struggle: It's easier to describe what we don't do, eg advise people to eat nothing but burgers.

Atkins are consulting engineers.  We design and advise on roads, railways, buildings... and then a much longer list of other stuff that spans the engineering profession. But this seems pertinent at the time of writing:
There's barely an aspect of London 2012 that we haven't been involved in. And I wish our name was more prominent on the Olympic Park... but you need Coca-Cola money to get top billing.
