Fastflow Matters - Spring Issue

matters Dear All, I hope you enjoy this first Fastflow Matters of 2014. When we sat down to consider what to put in it, we were pleasantly surprised to see how much good news there was to report. The Business Update reveals that the volume of infrastructure maintenance work on the pipeline services side has increased slightly and our contract with Hartlepool Water has been extended. Congratulations go to all those who helped our main client – NWL – carry off the Utility of the Year Award; a tremendous achievement. Energy Services’ start to the year has exceeded expectations with several schemes underway – including the first for the National Grid’s Integrated Security Solutions programme – which is in County Durham. Fastflow has a smart new website – now featuring SMARTflow – to help promote the business, so there is a great deal to look forward to in the months ahead. The employee focus this time is on Andy Newton, whilst there are a couple of articles on systems and methods to ensure safe and efficient driving. Speaking of health and safety, there’s a reminder of our occupational health screening programme as well as updates on the People’s Pension, WaterAid and of course, the ‘pats on the back’ With new opportunities on a number of fronts, I am sure there will be more good news in our pipelines to report soon. Meanwhile, remember this is your newsletter and we would welcome ideas and contributions from you for inclusion. If you have a message or a story, just contact Rob Angus, HR Manager at Parsons Road, Washington. Neil Armstrong Chief Executive Officer Issue 9 Spring 2014
