July and August 2019

10th September 2019

What. A. Summer!

It has been full on, we have been busy, busy, busy… What with holiday season, all our corporate events and the work load and pace gaining momentum! First thing we must say is a huge thank to all of you that showed up for any of our events; our corporate football tournament with Countryside and Weston homes, along with Barratts tournament. Each of them was a huge success! We also had the cricket match and soon to have our Winter Golf day. It really does go along way with both Wayne and Nick and our clients! Just look at Nick’s face to see how happy he was at winning! If anyone would like to attend our golf day next Saturday (21st Sept), just let Robin know.

As we move into the Autumn, a lot of people have been asking how much holiday is needed for Christmas and how much you may have left. This information is with each of your individual supervisors. The last working day will be Friday 20th December, we then return on Monday 6th January. Our Christmas drink will be on the last day as usual, details of where will be sent out in the next newsletter.

Pride in the Project Award

Welwyn doing a fantastic job, remaining in the top three, Bury in the running again and a newbie up top with Brittannia Nurseries. Keep up the good work guys! All will be revealed in next months newsletter… 

Referral Scheme

As you probably know, in our industry, new scaffs come and go. We are going to try a new approach where we would rather hire guys that you recommend to us! In doing so, we would give you £50. So, if you know of anyone you think would be a good new recruit, get them to call your supervisor about a start! We’ll do the rest!

Do you know anyone who is aged 18-24 who would be interested in a 2 year fully paid apprenticeship in the Scaffolding industry? We would take on a 16 or 17 old if the right candidate just a bit more paperwork… We are looking for eager and willing to learn employees to join us. Full health and safety training alongside the apprenticeship will be given. We have a COTS course running next Friday to get anyone interested started straight away!

We are looking for a HGV/HIAB Lorry driver to operate out of our Bulphan depot and to drive and work around the south-east. This is a full-time position, delivering and collecting scaffold materials to building sites in and around the London and Essex area. If you are interested, please call Chris on 07736 553464.
