  • New name, same faces

    ENGIE has announced the launch of a new global entity called EQUANS, which will now separately manage the majority of its client solutions/services-led activity.

    The creation of EQUANS reflects ENGIE's desire to simplify its structure and refine its existing strategy to have a clearer focus on energy infrastructure and grid-scale renewables. For our services activity within EQUANS, it will mean optimal focus and greater agility in the way we operate.

    In the UK & Ireland, all our activity in facilities management & technical services, energy efficiency and regeneration - as well as our specialist energy related capabilities including smart buildings, green mobility, district and embedded energy, and decentralised renewables will continue to operate within EQUANS exactly as they do today. This equates to a £2 billion revenue business, employing 13,500 people!

    EQUANS continues to belong to ENGIE and for our customers nothing changes with this announcement as we remain committed to our existing high levels of service performance. Our current management and on-site teams including your Site Managers and Resident Liaison Officers will stay the same, still wearing ENGIE branded clothing for easy identification.

    With this in mind, your future newsletters may look a little different when we change to EQUANS branding, however the content of your regular newsletters as well as digital updates will stay the same, continuing to provide you with an update on our progress, contact details for your site team, important safety reminders and news about community events and initiatives.

  • Certificate of Excellence achieved!

    ENGIE achieve Certificate of Excellence from Considerate Constructors Scheme Visit!

    As an associated member of the Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) ENGIE's sites are continually visited and audited against a number of categories as part of the scheme's Code of Considerate Practice to ensure works are undertaken with due consideration given to the local community.

    Each category is scored out of 9 with a top score of 50 available and include topics such as respecting the community, caring about safety and valuing the workforce.

    Our Chelsea Court site was visited earlier this week by an auditor from the CCS and have since been awarded a fantastic score of 41 out of a possible 50 which not only earned them a Certificate of Excellence but is also an improvement upon their previous audit score. The certificate was achieved by scoring at least 8 points out of 9 in each category of the scheme's Code of Considerate Practice.

    As part of his report, the CCS auditor said "The work regarding Appearance and the Community reflects very high levels of code compliance and Daniel's natural management style ensures that the site is operating with the utmost consideration to the workforce. Daniel is able to ensure an appropriate working environment is maintained whilst still ensuring technical aspects of the project and environmental and health and safety standards remain very high."
