Lightning Fast Response

At Stonbury we pride ourselves on being able to react quickly for our clients wherever possible. Our reactive cleaning and maintenance teams are familiar with this and demonstrate efficiency on a regular basis with planned maintenance works. An unexpected situation meant we were able to demonstrate this beyond our expectations. On a recent clean, Stonbury were called to assist Yorkshire Water on returning the asset to supply as quickly as possible. Reactively and with only two hours’ notice, we were able to gather a team of 7 staff to site by 4:00PM that Friday afternoon. The Stonbury team efficiently finished the works that afternoon, returning on the Saturday morning to complete final clearing of site. Yorkshire Water praised Stonbury for their efforts and awarded each team member with Golden Helmet reward vouchers. Yorkshire Water Engineer, Dave Axe sent his thanks to Stonbury, stating “it’s good to know when our backs are against the wall you can find the people to support us and complete the task.”

Stay Hydrated - Drink More Water

At Stonbury, the health and wellbeing of our staff has always been extremely important to us Earlier this Summer, we launched our new health and wellbeing campaign ‘Stay Hydrated’ encouraging our staff to, well… stay hydrated! Many of our staff and site operatives are fortunate to work in and among the great outdoors, however without regular water intake, they are especially at risk to dehydration and in hotter temperatures, heat stroke and exhaustion. As part of our campaign to promote good health and encourage drinking more water, we are very excited to launch our new Stonbury water bottles, making drinking water that one step easier. Alongside the water bottles, we have water coolers and campaign awareness posters in every Stonbury office, site and cabin. Check out these happy faces and remember to 'Stay Hydrated!'

STONBURY: FOUR TEAMS ONE GOAL

Due to the continuing progression of the Company, Stonbury has re-organised into four regionally dedicated teams We are extremely excited by this initiative and believe that this will allow us to increase our client service level. Our customers now have dedicated points of contact to personally discuss all their business needs. The make up of the teams and their respective client bases are as follows: BLUE TEAM – Team Leader Richard Harrison – Clients: Yorkshire Water, United Utilities, Welsh Water YELLOW TEAM – Team Leader Bob McKinnie – Clients: Northumbrian Water, Scottish Region GREEN TEAM – Team Leader Mark Coope – Clients: Severn Trent, South Staffordshire Water ORANGE TEAM – Team Leader Stuart Brooks – Clients: Anglian Water, Thames Water, Essex and Suffolk Water, Affinity Water Stonbury Directors responsible for the operation of the teams are Jon Featherstone who will oversee Blue and Yellow and Jon Perryman who will look after Green and Orange. The Teams Whilst the teams have primarily been set up to facilitate our existing frameworks, they have also been tasked with a Client Development role, identifying new and alternative opportunities within our clients' geographical areas. Any non-framework client, personnel or other framework contractor who requires advice on any scheme that we can assist with, can now contact the appropriate regional Director or Team Leader directly. To make our management and site operatives feel proud to work within their teams, we have held a number of team event days, undertaking a diverse range of activities from ‘Go Ape’ through the forests, track days and even archery, clay pigeon shooting and axe throwing! We hope that the spirit created through these events will have a positive influence on how we conduct ourselves in the full range of disciplines involved in the delivery of our projects. It is important to stress, that all our teams are still expected to carry out their work to the same high standards in terms of safety, quality and ethics as mentioned by Stonbury’s Company Management System. In anticipation that all clients will notice a difference in the way we are conducting our business, we would appreciate any feedback, positive or otherwise, through our Client Portal.

Our 10 Commandments

At Stonbury, we understand how all our staff, from management to site can make a real difference to the way we carry out our daily business on the quest for continuous improvement Our 10 Commandments communicates our best practice on how we operate to fulfill our roles and provide the best service possible. Earlier in June, the Stonbury management team successfully completed a one day seminar, aiming to promote better understanding of Stonbury’s core values, brand and culture, all based around our 10 Commandments. The seminar proved both important and valuable. As a result of recent growth, Stonbury has welcomed several new team members, and as such, the seminar was the perfect opportunity to introduce our core values to our new members and also refresh the memories of our long-serving employees. We hope that over the coming months our clients will notice a positive, tangible difference in attitude and performance from Stonbury. All of our offices and units proudly display our 10 Commandments, take a look the next time you're around!
