“Forum Court have been great to work with as the secretariat for SiLC since March 2015.  They are well organised, proactive and responsive, offering solutions whenever issues arise enabling smooth running of SiLC.”

Louise Beale, SiLC PTP Chair

“Working with the team at Forum Court has been an absolute pleasure. Their delightful energy, consistently happy demeanour, and proactive approach make every interaction smooth and enjoyable. They are incredibly organised, ensuring that tasks are delivered efficiently and with attention to detail. The support they provide to the AGS is second to none—responsive, thoughtful, and always one step ahead. Whether it’s managing conferences, coordinating meetings, or handling documentation, they do it all with professionalism and a smile.  It’s rare to find a team that combines warmth with such high standards of service. The AGS are grateful for their dedication, and I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking a reliable, cheerful, and capable team.  They are a reliable partner.”

“Forum Court are a tremendous asset to the AGS and an absolute pleasure to work with. Their friendly and positive approach, combined with their dedication and efficiency, has been instrumental in helping the AGS deliver high-quality conferences and webinars, and in supporting our growth. By taking on much of the administrative workload, they allow our voluntary members to focus on delivering valuable technical content and guidance to our community. Their support is both precise and dependable.”

My involvement with FCA spans over three decades, beginning through the Federation of Piling Specialists, and later extending to the EFFC and the Ground Forum. These organisations are inherently complex, representing a wide range of stakeholders, but FCA has consistently demonstrated a strong ability to understand what truly matters and to drive meaningful change.

A prime example of this is their creation and ongoing management of a mentoring scheme aimed at improving the transition of undergraduates into the ground engineering sector, with a particular focus on increasing representation of minorities within the industry.

Beyond their traditional secretariat responsibilities, FCA excels in planning and delivering high-quality conferences, awards ceremonies, and social events. Many of these occasions have left lasting impressions on members across the sector.

Professional, dedicated, and approachable, FCA is an organisation I highly recommend working with.

The team at Forum Court Associates are invaluable to SiLC. They take care of the day-to-day running, our events and webinars, and keep our online presence looking professional and engaging. Their attention to detail, reliability, and genuine understanding of our sector make everything run so smoothly. Above all, it’s the calm, professional, friendly, and approachable way they do things that makes working with them such a pleasure.
