Seton recognises
employees as key
to customer service
award success
WES win ECA
award for Innovation
in Contracting
In June 2015 Seton proudly accepted
the European Catalogue & Mail Order Direct Commerce (ECMOD)
Outstanding Customer Service Award. The company wanted to take this
opportunity to highlight how the enthusiastic and dedicated employees of
Seton contributed to this success.
The award was based on work
that WES had undertaken with the
Royal Navy and Babcock in applying
innovative solutions to complex cooling system corrosion issues on Royal
Navy warships and submarines.
Kevin Wheeler MD:
Jane Revell-Higgins, ECMOD Direct Commerce Awards Founding Director,
said: “There was a complete focus on the customer throughout all
departments in the business”. Speaking to some of these team members,
it is clear that the customer is at the centre of everything they do, whether
they work in the customer service centre or in the warehouse packing
orders.
“I am delighted with this accolade in recognition of the hard work across
the entire WES business and in particular the electrical team. Until recently
WES have been predominantly a mechanical specialist for chemical
systems in the water industry. Development of the electrical capability
coupled with working for the Royal Navy was a tough challenge but we
exceeded expectations.”

BSRIA comments on
government’s gender pay gap
announcement
Responding to David Cameron’s announcement yesterday
regarding plans to tackle the gender pay gap “within a
generation” – BSRIA agrees with this statement – but has
concerns over the skills debate.
BSRIA Chief Executive, Julia Evans, says:
“It is essential for the construction industry – both now and in the future – that
there is a drive to increase the number of women studying STEM subjects at
university – especially engineering. The current statistics for women in the
construction workplace is about 12% compared to 47% in other industries. This
differentiation is clearly unacceptable. Unfortunately, we’re currently back to the
issue of a lack of available skilled labour. The government recognises this and,
last year, BSRIA welcomed the government’s announcement on a £30m fund to
secure supply of engineers and boost number of women in sector. The funding will
support employer-led training to encourage career conversions and progression in
the industry.”
