At the end of each year, the safety advisers review the site inspections and nominate the best Site Managers in their region. These nominations are considered by a panel of company directors and Principal Advisers. Winning the award, is not only a fantastic achievement for the Site Manager themselves, but it also reflects on the company as a whole.
BSG Chairman, Michael Setter and Managing Director, Paul Kimpton have personally visited each Manager on site to meet and present the award.

Russell Gibson is a site manager who is managing a large housing development in Bideford Devon. Russell’s site is a very large one presenting many problems to overcome including building at various levels on ground which is less than perfect. Russell controls the site with great authority ensuring that the people who work on his site are well aware of the site rules and all work within a safe system. The site is well laid out with great consideration given to storage of materials, separation of occupied areas of the site from works traffic and site accommodation which is maintained to a high standard. |

The second phase will encompass four new data halls and will be launched mid 2011. ETDE Contracting already has a significant track record of data centres, mainly for direct customer use, but the award of this data centre contract represents a step further and will open new horizons with data centre developers and operators in London area and more globally in UK and Europe.

For the site at MOD Abbey Wood, Stoke Gifford, South Glos.
David Wellington of Integral Interiors was nominated as he showed a very high level of commitment to site health & safety. The safety was very consistent and delivered in such a way that all site operatives found it very easy to build into their systems of work.
David was receptive to any questions on safety regarding his sites and he always acted upon any minor non-compliant safety areas very fairly and quickly. The site has been frequently audited by the MOD and other organisations. The site has also had site safety visits from The Building Safety Group.
Each of the sites consistently scored well with regard to safety. I have found David Wellington a pleasure to deal with. Furthermore, his approach to safety was encouraging for other trades to follow.
