UKWS Striving for Excellence Event 2024

UKWS hosted a Striving for Excellence Event 2024 at Branston Golf and Country Club for all staff members.

All Directors took the stand and delivered a talk about the history of the company which started trading in 1987, our journey to the present day and our vision for the future.  We also introduced our Blueprint Striving for Excellence Booklets, How we do it Safely and How to do it Sustainably.

HR updated the company regarding our current staff benefits and newly introduced staff benefits.  We also had a Health and Safety update – one of our key achievements was being RIDDOR free 30 months along with no lost time incidents within this timeframe – such a great achievement!

Our staff participated in Teamwork throughout the day, a round of crazy golf, a team building exercise and a fun quiz.

Brendan Hall, International Keynote Speaker, was our special guest for the day, focussing on UKWS building a team that are focused on continuous improvement, not letting incumbent thinking stop innovation, whilst staying within the bounds of their safety and regulatory framework.

Our day concluded with an Awards Ceremony.  Our Monthly Striving for Excellence Awards was received by Joe Firth, Commercial Manager and our Monthly Safety Award went to Phil Roberts, Site Manager.  The awards were followed by some well deserved promotions and then a few drinks in the bar!

The day was a great success – and it is thanks to all of the hardworking staff that make UKWS the great company it is today.
