Rising temperatures lead to heat health warnings in South England and the Midlands in the UK's first prolonged heatwave since 2006.

RDT were reminiscing about the London 2012 Olympics the year before and decided to have a team trip to London to visit the iconic Shard. It was a glorious Summers day for seeing the views over London from the top of the Shard with a Thames riverside walk and pizza.

One of RDT’s projects at this time was Dukeminster Court, the first dementia care home for Quantum Care in Dunstable, which went on to win multi awards for both RDT and the operator.
