Matt Moore submitted a great photo, taken on our site at Fairham, where we are carrying out works for Clowes Developments.

The winning photo by Matt, was taken whilst visiting the Fairham site on a foggy morning in December.  The photo was of two of our excavators, the first one framing the second one.  We thought it was a great shot of the machines at work on site and Matt won a £50 Amazon E Voucher and a certificate for his efforts.  Well done Matt!

In October 2022 we decided to launch a new competition for staff for site photography, with the winning photo chosen in conjunction with each quarterly staff newsletter. The criteria included the following;

• Good Health & Safety
• Quality of Workmanship
• Artistic (lighting, focus)
• Significant stage of works (crane use)

 

Kevan Fell has been awarded our quarterly ‘Outstanding Employee Award’ for the last quarter of 2022, for his hard work on our Fairham Park and Ride Highways Works project.

Site Manager Tim Murphy said “Kevan’s good all-round attitude at work and the pride taken shaping batters and ponds at our Nottingham site has been top notch, also taking charge of his own sections of work, showing his overall knowledge in earth moving and plant operation, as well as the understanding of work needed to achieve programme dates.

Well done to Kevan!

O’Brien values the skills, experience, and dedication of our site teams.

In recognition of this, we have for many years run the ‘Employee Outstanding Achievement Award.’ The award goes to a member of one of our site teams each quarter to coincide with our quarterly newsletter.

Project Managers nominate the operative that they think has gone above and beyond for the previous quarter and the candidate with the most recommendations win the award. In recognition of their outstanding contribution on site, the winner gets a £500 cheque and a certificate.
