Kiely Group recently held its annual safety and welfare stand down day.
Almost 40 leaders were there during the day either leading, listening, or contributing with presentations, taking part in workshops, or participating in team building sessions.
Kiely Group’s Managing Director, Mike Kiely Jnr, said: “For us this is one of the most important days of the year. We are readying the team with the knowledge and skillsets required for them to carry out work for our clients across the country. Personally, they are doing so in my family’s name and so I want to be sure that they are doing this as safely as they can. Each crew member is an extension of the family business, and we think of them as such.”
During the day, delivery was taken of eight new welfare vehicles and four new flatbed vans for the coming season, too.
Ross Bullerwell was recently appointed as a consultant to the business and was on hand to inspect them. He commented: “It was a real pleasure to be asked to lead the day. I have run contracting businesses for over 20 years now and this day of the year is potentially the most important day for every company. The fact that Kiely’s think of every member of their staff as an extension of their family means that they see safety as a given, not a requirement.
“It was great to see the fleet of new vehicles arrive too, it goes to show that Kiely’s place safety and welfare above profit. These vehicles are brand new for the coming season and provide excellent facilities for the crews who work in all weathers serving the UK taxpayers.”
During the interactive sessions attendees were given an opportunity to suggest their own personal wish lists to the Kiely’s Directors and, as was anticipated, a variety of suggestions were readily offered!
