Making great progress over at sunny Lincoln! 🌞

Know anyone who would be a good fit for our new Operations Coordinator role? P.S We are sorted for a recruitment agency 😉

Swapping "not too bad" for Excellence I dropped by Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce this morning for the launch of Investors in Excellence. Myself and Dan Bailey heard from Dougie Mac CEO, David Webster and Cris Hammond about how they adopted the IiE framework to help them achieve excellence. David spoke about how Staffs organisations need to drop the "not too bad" (which I didn't realise was such a Stokie thing!) and collaborate more to achieve excellence. Excited to see how this will drive improvement for organisations across Staffordshire! #InvestorsInExcellence #FordMainwaring #Staffordshire

Obligatory 'I voted' post 🗳 For some reason voting always feels so awkward, I get paranoid they'll think I'm cheating (?) But was done and dusted and on with the evening🍸 Yay democracy! #vote2024

🎡 Parade in the Park 🥁 Had a great time yesterday at the Parade in the Park at Queen's Park, Longton for Armed Forces Day. It was fantastic to see such a good turnout! Highlights were the parade and Penkhull Brass Band 🎺 My partner Christian loved checking out the Army vehicles and displays. I didn't catch the flypast but still made for a good trip out! #ArmedForcesDay #Longton #StokeOnTrent

📸 We’ve recently added a new time lapse camera to the marketing toolkit at Ford Mainwaring, and today I’m getting to grips with it! There’s usually building work happening on the land behind my house – which would make for some interesting footage (though lately, they’ve just been moving a big pile of earth around) ⛰ Unfortunately, they’re not working today, so I’m testing it out on the traffic outside instead 🛣 I’m looking forward to using this for some upcoming projects, starting with an ASHP project we're doing with Entrust Education The plant room will be built next door to our office, before craning it into position on-site. Capturing and sharing progress on projects is an aspect of my job I really enjoy, so it's great to be able to share it in this format too 📸 #Engineering #TimeLapse #FordMainwaring #ASHP 🔗 Project link in comments

Had a great time visiting Stafford College, Stafford today! Myself and Mark Sherwin spoke with future T-level students about careers in engineering 🛠⚡ Ford Mainwaring are looking to welcome a T-level student this September for work experience. They'll have the opportunity to gain practical, hands-on experience with our skilled engineers while continuing their studies.

👨🔧 Meet Josh Cox who joined Ford Mainwaring for work experience! As part of his T-level course in Building Engineering, Josh does a day-a-week of hands on work experience with one of our engineers. He visits a different site each time, gaining real-word experience each time. As time goes on, Josh gains practical skills that will benefit him in his future career!
