“Just last year we fixed an electric motor that
was powering a pump delivering clean water
to over 4000 homes. Without our speed of
response and technical know-how, those
residents could have well been out of water
for some time.
“Our staff have been fantastic and a key part
of the journey we have been on, with some
of them working with us for over 45 years.
We wanted to do something to celebrate
the 121st birthday and have organised a
series of celebrations at our four locations,
where every employee will receive a gift as a
memento of our anniversary and a ‘thank you’
from the management team.”
He concluded: “We are continuing to grow so
there has to be a focus on ensuring we have
the rich engineering skills to move forward
and this will involve recruiting experienced
engineers and embarking on a new
Apprenticeship programme that has already
seen us take on four apprentices.
“Make UK are helping us shape the delivery
of the training and we have committed
significant investment into ensuring this is a
focal point of our recruitment activity going
forward.”
