UKSE Celebrates Ten Years Trading

Following the UK shutdown from the Covid19 Pandemic UKSE group has seen a real increase in workload on our key areas of Water & Waste Water, including authority and main contractor related projects including the rise in UK Power generation projects. UKSE Group is currently delivering our services across the UK with key labour only / site services and labour and plant services. Martin Wood CEO commented, ‘Although it’s been a tough time for businesses and for people personally throughout a worldwide pandemic the UKSE team has been resilient and worked smart to ensure we have continued to deliver without effecting our service levels. We are fortunate to have strong, long standing client relationships after nearly 10 years of trading and we look forward to organic and strategic growth over the next 10 years.”

Whilst we are all riding the same rollercoaster due to the current situation, it’s really important for businesses of all sizes to keep a clear focus on the impacts, and most importantly, having a positive atmosphere within the working environment and keeping staff morale high. Looking at our strategy for the coming year and the hurdles we have had and are facing, we can say that we are lucky to be able to continue operating with all non-essential operational staff working from home and have been since March 23rd 2020 and always following Government guidelines. Our engineers and site teams continue to carry out essential works and maintaining sites such as sewage treatments plants and key worker sites. We are lucky that business is stable at UKSE right now, and we thank all our customers, operational and engineering site teams for continuing their hard-work; with a huge thank you to all of our site teams for adapting to change, in an uncertain time whilst working socially distanced. Working and communicating has changed from what we are used to and looking forward, we feel that a good part of 2021 will be working from home with minimal trips to offices and, of course, to clients and sites. Is this a bad thing? Not necessarily. The way to look at it is to remember that technology and the way we work evolves and will continue to do so. There are many pros and cons, but the important thing is to remember that it’s all about adaptability. Video conference call have been an essential part of the new way of working and we structure these at 8am and 12pm every day for all staff to join. This is important for the communication in a fast-paced services business that is supplying fundamental engineering works. We have encouraged staff who are working from home to ‘walk when the sun shines’ this helps promote: a) Their mental health - getting outdoors will aid in a more focused and clearer mind b) Their overall general health and to exercise or have a good stretch away from sitting at a desk; and c) To get some Winter sun when it does shine for some good natural Vitamin D! Keeping a positive attitude within the business and for the staff is incredibly important, we are really lucky at UKSE to have the staff we do, they have all really pulled together to assist each other and we all care for our staff and their welfare. We have had the opportunity to review the business, its costs how we position ourselves and the strategies required for organic growth post this pandemic! Just remember, normality is scheduled to resume soon. It’s just about keeping your morale high.

The idea of coming out of lockdown when the scientific debate is ongoing may also be worrying for those of us who are more at risk from the virus or living with mental health problems. We at UKSE Group want to share a useful guide from Hampshire County Council for managers, which provides an overview of the range of external health and wellbeing support available. Remember: things might feel hard right now, but this situation is unusual. And it won't last forever.

UKSE Group will continue to adhere to Government guidelines when it comes to PPE and face-covering. We know that keeping our staff and customers safe is our number one priority. As our teams continue to work whether in lockdown or tiered regulations, wearing a mask in areas where sufficient distance is not feasible (and PPE not necessary) is mandatory. We are all in this together and need to take actions and procurations when and where we can. So, follow our example and take our lead and make sure that you keep safe during these tough times.
