This Reward & Recognition is awarded to Gary
Clarke for his proactive approach and ingenuity
in dealing with the high consumption of gloves
and glasses on site.
At quarterly intervals the site PPE register is
reviewed by Gary, and the member of the
workforce who has had the least amount of
PPE (glasses/gloves) issued over the course of
that 3 months is rewarded with a tipple of
their choice – paid for by Gary himself! The
worst offender is “named and shamed” in the
morning briefing.
Safety Hotline
Although this is not a new concept it does
reiterate to the operatives the importance of
looking after the PPE which is issued to them,
whilst reducing costs on our consumables –
put simply it is an adaptation of the R&R itself.
It has also instilled competition on site
between the operatives on looking after
equipment!

FOREWORD
DENIS DEACY
Welcome to the latest edition of Carey News.
Since its inception, Carey News has played
a vital role in keeping us all informed of the
achievements and progress of the various
business units within the Group, as well as
providing an insight into the working day of
a number of our employees. I believe this
edition’s new format continues to inform and
clearly illustrates how our teams’ skills and
competencies are successfully deployed
2 | CAREY NEWS | ISSUE 28 | 2015
Since the last edition, it is pleasing to report
that the improvement in the construction
market has been sustained. All of the
businesses within the Group are achieving real
growth and are in a healthy position to further
enhance their reputation in a buoyant market.
The Group support services have also seen
positive changes in recent times, and with a
number of new appointments, the services
provided will continue to adapt to suit the
increased demands of each business.
As a Board of Directors, we have always
believed that the success of the Group is due
to the loyalty of our employees. In this edition
we are delighted to highlight the long service
of a number of our employees. I am sure
that this continued loyalty will be maintained
into the future, and to reflect this we will be
introducing a long service policy to ensure
such achievements by our employees are
recognised and celebrated each year.
We are also going to arrange for the list
of names detailed to be displayed within
the office to recognise the long service by
our employees – I am sure you will join
me in congratulating those listed on their
achievements.
I hope you enjoy reading Carey News and
thank you all for your continued commitment
and hard work as we all take the Group
forward.
Best Wishes,

GUEST EDITOR
SIOBHÁN CAREY
As Guest Editor it’s great to have the opportunity to
speak directly to the 1300+ employees that work
across the Group.
Throughout the edition you’ll find a wealth of news
snippets and stories about the Careys Foundation,
which have been included to do two things; bring
you up-to-date on new developments and to provide
information that will help show how you can get
involved and play an active part in the Foundation.
The past six months in particular have been a
very exciting period for the Careys Foundation,
culminating in March this year with us achieving
registered charity status. This is vitally important to
the way in which we are structured and helps us to
bring even greater social value to the many projects
we are involved in. Charity status will provide a
springboard for the Foundation to progress and
push on to bigger adventures. You can read more
on what this means to the business in this edition of
CareyNews.
I’m proud that over the past six months we have
carried out some of our biggest projects to date and
you can read about some of the most interesting
and unusual stories in this edition. This includes
the unveiling of the 9/11 memorial sculpture at the
Olympic Park, boxing club bouts and amazing stories
of how the work we’re doing is helping to improve
many young people’s lives.
Ultimately, the Foundation exists because we
care. Our ongoing success is thanks to the groups
we partner with and the kind heartedness of all
employees who get involved. At the same time,
many of the activities are about coming together
and having fun, and in Martin McGuire’s short
CareysConnect blog, he provides an insight into that
fun side!
Over the coming months I plan to visit a number
of sites, and very much look forward to meeting
you and talking about the rewarding projects and
activities that everyone can get involved in.
Best Wishes,
Siobhan

collaborative manner, working very closely with
all the relevant stakeholders to achieve the
timely completion of the works, especially after
experiencing the worst rainfall recorded in nearly

CAREYS’ PROJECTS INJECT REALISM INTO
MOCK EMERGENCY RESCUE
MOCK RESCUE SUCCESS
7 metres below ground level, provided an
ideal training scenario for the local Fire and
Ambulance Services’ personnel, allowing them
to familiarise themselves with the mock rescue
of an ‘injured spine casualty.’ The operation
was challenging but nonetheless completed
safely, with emergency services using standard
rope rescue, line access and confined space
equipment.
While rescue operations from deep excavations
are quite rare, the exercise was a valuable
learning opportunity for the emergency services
and formed a key part of their ongoing training
requirements.
Berewood Project, Waterlooville
Careys recently assisted the Hampshire Fire
and Rescue Service team in completing an
emergency rescue drill at our Berewood project
in Waterlooville.
The exercise was carried out by West Midlands
Fire Service’s Technical Rescue Unit (TRU) and
West Midlands Ambulance Service’s Hazardous
Area Response Team (HART) .
The project’s deep drainage and excavation
works within a confined space environment,
As part of the project’s community engagement
process, Careys’ Project Manager, Steve Smith,
made contact with groups from the local
community near to the site, including the Fire
and Rescue Service. This engagement led to
the site team facilitating a visit from the local
Fire and Rescue Team on a chilly evening in
March, to stage a mock emergency scenario.
“
Selly Oak Remediation Services Diversion
An emergency services special rescue team
has benefited significantly from being able to
rehearse a construction site operation, with
assistance from Careys’ Selly Oak RSD project
team, who are currently carrying out a major
earthworks remediation scheme.
We are very grateful
to Careys for offering
us this realistic training
environment; it makes
a big difference to the
quality of the exercise.
West Midlands Fire Service TRU Watch Commander
The result was the site lads finding
themselves knee deep in mud, engaging in
good natured banter and enduring a really
exhausting few hours to carry out the rescue.
Most importantly, the training exercise
was successfully completed, and with vital
lessons learnt that could one day save a
life. Many thanks to those who took part
from Careys: James Barnes, Steve D. Smith,
Desmond Regan and Nathan Pearce.

PLANT & FLEET UPDATE
POSITIVE CONTRIBUTIONS
FROM THE WORKSHOP TEAM
The workshop is operational from 6.30am
to 6pm at night and safety is the team’s first
consideration when planning and organising
work schedules. A typical day could mean
dealing with anything from breakdowns of
plant, to deploying an 50 tonne excavator to
a project in Scotland.
A valuable asset to any construction
company is its plant and fleet. Careys’
approach to both buying and maintaining
our own plant and fleet means that we have
greater control over our operations and
increased ability to adapt quickly. In this
edition we hear about the successes and
challenges of the team.
Raising The Bar
Workshop Manager, Mick Crook joined
Careys 17 years ago as a Plant Fitter tasked
with the maintenance of small hand-tools.
He worked his way up through the ranks,
firstly being promoted to Workshop Foreman,
and then progressing to his current position
of Workshop Manager. He gives an insight
into everyday challenges of keeping the fleet
safe, well-maintained and fully operational;
‘Safety has really changed for the better here.
It’s a culture thing; working conditions are
better and I think the people that work here
have bought into the idea of getting work
done, but in a safe manner. Improvements in
machinery and equipment on the market in
recent years and the company’s subsequent
investment has massively reduced the
amount of breakdowns we deal with. For
example, new filter systems that we’re using
on excavator tanks are minimising downtime
and have been a big success to date’.
Stepping Up to the Challenges
Like Mick, Workshop Supervisor, Jim
Murphy began his career at Careys as
a Fitter, carrying out car maintenance
21 years ago, before being promoted to
Workshop Supervisor in 2012. Jim notes that
investment in new technology means the
team can focus on planned maintenance,
as opposed to unexpected breakdowns that
cause delays. He comments, ‘the company
has evolved and so too have the plant and
fleet team. The last three years have seen
“
The workshop at the Wembley head office
carries out fleet maintenance for over
300 vans, 150 cars and over 500 items of
plant, which are deployed to our projects
UK-wide. Maintaining this ever-increasing
portfolio is a ten strong team of highly
skilled and experienced Mechanical Fitters.
NEW 25T DUMP TRUCK DEPLOYED
TO NW CAMBRIDGE PROJECT
We take pride in the fact that the
equipment we send out is fit for
the task at hand. There’s a great
deal of satisfaction in knowing
that it will contribute to Careys
getting the job done well.
Jim Murphy, Workshop Supervisor
an expansion in our team; workload has
increased. That brings a bit more pressure
and as a result there’s more things that can
go wrong with the fleet. However, we’re quite
a close knit team and there are 10 lads here
who are very capable of stepping up to the
challenges. Many of the lads have a number
of years under their belts, such as Eddie,
Peter and Sparky’.
As Careys continues to grow and take on
larger projects, the workshop has recently
welcomed two new apprentice Plant Fitters.
Although plant and fleet maintenance is a
fundamental part of what the team does,
they also ensure the upkeep of the Group’s
fleet livery and branding. The logos and
branding continues to be an important
visual means of identifying and promoting
the company, as well as influencing the
company’s positive public perception.
PLANT & FLEET UPDATE
Gary Condon and his team have had a busy
start to the year and continue to play a vital
role in supporting the Group by managing
and maintaining our extensive fleet of
specialist plant and equipment.
In the first quarter of 2015 the team have
promoted safe driving and reducing driver
risk. The recent company-wide launch
of the Driver Risk Reduction Programme
will help Careys’ employees gain a
greater knowledge and understanding
of improving driving standards, reducing
accidents and driving more responsibly.
INNOVATIONS IN PLANT & FLEET
There have been a large number of
additions to the plant and transport fleet
with significant investment in new cuttingedge technology. The production of Careys
Technical Bulletins are testament to this,
and are an important communication tool
for keeping you posted on new additions
to the Group’s plant and fleet. It also
reflects how the business is striving to be
more sustainable and looking for ways of
adopting industry best practice.

FEATURE: CAREYS FOUNDATION
A CHANGE
FOR THE
BETTER
By Siobhán Carey
In January this year, the Foundation became
a fully independent registered charity. This
positive change came as a result of lots of
internal work by the Foundation’s Trustees,
Jason Carey, Fiona O’Donnell, Malcolm Fisher
and Martin McGuire. This will ensure that
the Foundation remains relevant moving
forward and can meet its wide-ranging and
benevolent objectives. It also means that
subsequent investments of time, effort and
finance enables it to flourish in a viable and
sustainable way.
The Careys Foundation has actively contributed
to charitable and not-for-profit organisations
over a number of years. With the generosity and
involvement of our employees across the Group,
the Foundation has raised over £1 million. This
fantastic sum has provided vital support and
practical assistance to charitable bodies and
qualifying causes across the UK and Ireland.
The Foundation has been restructured to
help us in our next five year plan through four
specific areas: care, construction industry
development, environmental education and
research & development.
CAREYS CONTRIBUTES:
SINCE 9/11 MEMORIAL SCULPTURE
COMMUNITY WORK WITH LOCAL SCHOOL
SELLY OAK RSD
The change has a number of key advantages
that will enhance our continuing relationships
with strategic partnerships, designated charities
and community groups. We now have greater
control and flexibility in how we provide support
and raise funds for the charities we work with.
A further benefit is that more of the money now
raised goes directly to charity.
Our Renewed Focus Areas
2015 has also seen us re-evaluate the
Foundation’s core focus areas. The process
has allowed us to consider how effective our
objectives and activities are in meeting the everevolving needs of the groups and individuals
we support.
CAREYS BUILD OUTDOOR LEARNING AREA
FOR ST MARY’S PRIMARY SCHOOL
The Foundation has been hugely successful
over the five years since its formation, and we
have now set new objectives and focus areas,
whilst continuing to align those areas with the
founding values of the Carey Group.
Construction
Industry
Development
Our aim with this focus area can be summed up
simply as: to inspire enthusiastic and talented
individuals to join the construction industry. We
want to build strong, supportive relationships
with local community groups, schools, colleges
and other educational institutions. We’ve already
begun this process and our HR Department is in
a position to offer several access routes to those
with the hunger and drive to succeed.
To create routes into employment, we’re currently
supporting 20 people on apprentice schemes
across the company and have 9 staff undergoing
day release training in commercial, estimating
and surveying disciplines. We continue to support
people in gaining sustained employment and have
developed effective partnerships with Be Onsite
and the College of North West London, whilst BDL
have built a link with Merton College to produce
skills training.
CARE
The Foundation supports people in
their time of need, as well as building
relationships that last the course of time.
This reflects the strong traditional values,
personal ethics and personable approach of
the Group. The Foundation aims to provide
first-hand expertise from our employees
and financial support to improve the lives of
people living with illness or disability in our
communities. In order to achieve this, I’m
sure Careys employees will continue to raise
funds, and give their time to support the
work of the Foundation.
CARE
Realising our responsibility to the
communities in which our Group makes an
impact, the Foundation has been involved
with Since 9/11, an educational charity
teaching students about the events, causes
and consequences of 9/11. The recent
installation of the 9/11 Memorial Sculpture
at the Olympic Park was a great achievement
by the guys on-site, who worked fantastically
well to install the sculpture ahead of its
unveiling at the Olympic Park by Mayor
Boris Johnson.
Environmental Research and
Education
Development
A key focus for the Foundation
is helping to improve young
and disadvantaged people’s
lives with our environmental
education schemes. Through
our partnership arrangements,
we offer schools and community
groups access to a wider
range of environmental and
sustainability courses. These
cover diverse disciplines,
such as resources and waste,
environmental building,
renewable energy and water use.
The Group’s ongoing success is achieved
through the high calibre of staff employed and
the investment in their development. In order
to harness the diversity and range of in-house
knowledge, experience and inspiration that
Careys’ employees possess, the Foundation will
shortly launch innovation competitions.
The aim is to find new ideas that could improve
how the Group operates, and to ensure that we
make positive contributions to the communities
in which we work. We will also be looking into
development funding to test out new methods,
creating links with Innovate UK and other
academic routes.
WE CARE ABOUT...
SUSTAINABILITY
Hi, I’m Clare Masters, the newly
appointed Group Sustainability
and Environmental Manager and
my role is to both develop the
Group’s approach to operating more
sustainably, and to promote all the best practice
initiatives that are taking place on our projects.
I’m based at our Wembley head office and since
joining last autumn, I’ve been visiting various sites
and offices across the UK to meet as many of you
as possible, and to see in person the fantastic
sustainable and resource efficient activities that
are already taking place each day.
What Sustainability means at Careys
In recent years, sustainability has become one
of the most talked about subjects within the
construction industry and arguably one of the
least understood. Essentially it considers three
concepts; social and community issues, the natural
environment and economic issues. Whereas we
used to just consider the environmental impact
of our projects (such as pollution prevention), the
industry now expects us to consider the wider
implications of our works, both on-site and in our
offices.
Sustainability is important within construction and
isn’t just about following industry trends. Being
more sustainable makes good business sense and
for us at Careys, it means seeking to deliver more
than the project itself. For a project to be deemed
a success, we need to be considering many more
aspects than programme and delivery.
These include working closely with the supply
chain to consider ethical materials use and their
origin, using less energy, minimising impacts
to people living and working near our projects,
encouraging new people into construction

Sustainability Indicators
As sustainability is a big concept and covers many
issues, we have identified ten indicators which
represent areas where we can create positive
change.
In any given year approximately 1,300 employees
and 50 subcontractors are carrying out some 100
projects across the UK and Ireland for Careys. Any
project, large or small, subcontractor or principal
contractor, can contribute something in its
method, materials or actions of our people.
Case studies of some of the ways that our
employees, partners and clients are delivering
Careys projects more sustainably can be found on
our website www.careysplc.co.uk/sustainabilitycase-studies.
Myth-Busting….
The industry is slowly but surely
overcoming the misconceptions and
untruths about sustainability. These
include:
“My project is too small for
sustainability”
There are many simple and cost-effective
things that any project can do regardless
of size or duration. Several small actions
easily contribute to great things.
“We’re just a subcontractor”
Sustainability gives us a great opportunity
to show competence and ability in doing a
range of things that will benefit a contract
and client. Many clients are asking for all
of their supply chain to show commitment
on challenging sustainability issues and to
implement sustainability initiatives.
“I’m too busy. We have a job to do”
Sustainability is part of everyday life now
and working to sustainable principles can
make for a better and more efficient site.
“It costs too much”
Some sustainability issues do cost more
money but often the initial cost is paid
back over time, to make them costefficient overall.

up of three people who have recently benefited from
new self-contained pick up vehicles; these were
trialled on our recent ANPR works and proved a huge
success.
I am delighted to report that we are continuing to
grow Careys’ retail sector capability. Our proud longstanding relationship with Sainsbury’s has seen us
work closely together on a number of increasingly
broad and diverse contracts across the UK. 2014
was a very successful year for Careys in our work with
Sainsbury’s and saw us deliver £10 million of small
works packages, ranging in size from 50k to £900k.
These include three core retail areas of Facilities
Management (FM), Automatic Number Plate
Recognition (ANPR) Security and Click & Collect.
FIRST CLASS WORK RATE
Again, hats off to the team for a first class work
rate and a hunger to crack on with the work. This
is something that is very much appreciated by all
at Careys. As a result of the high quality of work we
have completed, we are well placed to pick up future
work throughout 2015 and beyond.
Our capability is evolving and the team here at
Milton Keynes is continually looking to adapt our
retail offering to suit many different end-user
clients, and continue to cement our reputation as a
specialist in the retail sector.
LOOKING BACK AND
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE
The regional office in Milton Keynes was
originally built by Careys in 1983 and the
office itself was typical of its era, with
individual timber stud offices being housed

With the office refurbishment works
predominantly finished, three of the
company’s longer serving regional staff; Andy
Foster (Area Surveyor), Jonathan Hyde (Senior
QS) and Jacqui Earnshaw (Office Manager)
reflect on the changes to the building which
has been their workplace for a combined total
of almost 70 years.
JH: Absolutely, who’d have thought we’d have ended up with a 21st century office.
AF:I agree, the change is staggering and will completely change the perception of the company in the town and beyond.

he former Battery Park
site at Selly Oak in
Greater Birmingham is
set to play a key role in
the regeneration and economic
growth of the region. The project to develop the industrial
and residential area – being
delivered by the Harvest
Partnership (a joint venture
between Sainsbury’s and Land
Securities) and Birmingham
City Council – will also play a
key role in boosting medical and
scientific innovation.
Upon completion, the 12ha
brownfield site will feature a
state-of-the-art Life Sciences
campus, student accommodation
and high-quality retail facilities,
including a new Sainsbury’s
store. It will also benefit from
improved highways infrastructure and environmental
improvements. Ultimately, it will
offer a wide range of employment opportunities, with 2,700
jobs created.
Principal contractor PJ
Carey (Contractors), part of the
Carey Group, was called upon
to mitigate health, safety and
environmental risks for the
critical earthworks phase of the
project. Beginning this phase
in June 2014, it approached the
project from the perspective of
achieving an optimum balance
between social, economic and
environmental sustainability,
and productivity.
Indeed, the scheme has
attracted significant interest and
involvement from local community groups.
Key deliverables include
reprofiling the former heavy
industry site into three distinct
levels, and remediation of vast
quantities of variable grades
of waste up to depths of 14m
in places. This includes over
155,000m3 of ash material and
90,000m3 of commercial and
industrial material; in total,
800,000m3 is being moved and
more than 400,000m3 remediated. The initial phase of the
project will culminate in the construction of a 7m high dividing
wall to separate the three distinct
plateaus.
This was because the area’s
topography dictated that the
final buildings would have to be
on different levels. At pre-construction stage, the team firstly
devised an earth reinforced
structure for the dividing wall
rather than the previously envisaged CFA piled wall method.
Careys project manager
Clive Medden says: “This value
engineering was particularly
advantageous as, following the
excavation phase, the wall could
then be constructed from the
foundations up, rather than
boring down from an elevated
platform. Additionally, this
alleviated the issue of headroom
restrictions due to the existing
overhead HV cables, aiding our
ability to place the engineered
fill material.”
Extensive site-wide trial pits
have been carried out, and a
desktop design was used to
confirm the historic borehole
data and actual ground encountered; this gave the team greater
visibility of the task ahead.
“We obtained as
much data as possible
to evaluate ground
conditions and
develop a 3D model”
Tommy Carey, Careys
“It was decided
that the set-up of a
bespoke laboratory
and soil hospital was
the best option”

“From receipt of documents
at tender stage, we invested
significant time and effort to obtain as much data as possible to
evaluate ground conditions and
develop a detailed 3D model,”
says Careys operations director
Tommy Carey. “This enabled us
to mitigate risks and develop an
effective earthworks remediation
strategy that was designed to
provide the highest reuse rate of
existing materials and divert all
waste from landfill.
“This was facilitated through
the use of a materials screener
and applying techniques from
our waste and resource recovery
company, Seneca.”
The establishment of an
onsite laboratory to test hydrocarbons and heavy metals
is enabling the team to gain a
real-time understanding of the
excavated materials composition
and geotechnical characteristics. The results dictate the
treatments required for each
waste stream in the onsite
soil hospital treatment centre.
This has helped to expedite
the programme by accelerating
contamination assessments and

the remediation process. This
has resulted in big time savings
of up to one week per sample.
Careys materials manager
John Heaps says this was key to
the remediation strategy. “During the planning stage of the
works, several different remediation methods were considered.
“It was decided that the set-up
of a bespoke laboratory and soil
hospital was the best option.
Furthermore, any water ‘runoff’ was captured and cleaned
through a granular activated carbon unit before being
discharged back into the sewer

under licence.”
Sustainability benefits realised include the elimination of
waste generation, as the project
has, to date, reused over 90% of
excavated material and converted all untreatable waste material
into refuse derived fuel via its inhouse resource recovery facility.
The remediation strategy was
said to have received positive
feedback from operatives on site,
who found the onsite laboratory
to be widely favourable compared with traditional offsite
sampling methods. The careful
selection of the construction
method saw a robust system implemented to ensure a seamless
operation throughout.
As the project progressed,
Careys gained a thorough understanding of ground conditions
and reports, and benefited from
early involvement with statutory
services and the Environment
Agency, to grasp timescales.
The team has trialled different
types of screeners that divide
the materials into three streams.
“Central to our remediation
strategy was a unique system
that we created, dividing the
entire area of earthworks into
25m2 grids to allow accurate
sampling, classification, material
movement and verification of
materials in known areas,” says
Heaps.
The laboratory takes samples
from each 25m2 area to ensure
it complies with agreed specification levels and is suitable for
backfill. This gives the team a
systematic means of knowing
where material was dug, what
it was and where it was to be
placed.
Three main utility diversions
are required as part of the works
and bring their own unique challenges. These include rerouting
600m of 450mm intermediate
pressure gas mains, removal
of a 350m section of 132KVa
overhead cables and pylon
tower, 220m diversion of 1.2m
diameter storm water drainage
and realignment of an 11Kva
underground HV cable. With
these complexities in mind, the
team renewed their focus on
maximising productivity, while
maintaining health and safety
performance.
Structural elements to the
project include the construction
of two walls, the 200m long
dividing wall, which was successfully changed from CFA piled to
the “Tensar” earth reinforced as
constructed.
This improved both the
aesthetics of the wall, enabled
programme efficiencies, and
used the site-won demolition
material.
Due to the adjacent Network
Rail lines, a CFA piled embankment wall was necessary alongside the 200m long dividing
wall to enable removal of the
tip-waste material down to the
required levels.
Advanced project planning
resulted in the development
of value engineering methods
and a determination to create
industry-leading practices. It is
an approach that is supporting
the team in completing ongoing works, accident-free, with
considerable programme time
savings.
We obtained as much data as
possible to evaluate ground
conditions and develop a 3D

PRIOR TO WORKS
What is your role at Careys?
I work with a great team of people within the
purchasing team, supplying materials for
contracts and offices across all Group companies.
Can you sum up a typical day in your
department in a few words?
Every day is different and has its individual
challenges and demands so there is never a dull
moment!
What career path have you followed since
taking your first role in the construction
industry?
When I left school in the mid 1980s, I decided
to try my luck in the building game. These arms
weren’t made for pushing barrows! So I took to
the pen instead and went on to complete two
Diplomas; the first in Building Studies and the
second in Civil Engineering.
Subsequently, I worked as a Trainee Buyer with
Balfour Beatty and went on to complete a further
course, which really helped me to push on and
gain a good understanding of the buying process.
I joined Careys in 1989 as an Assistant Buyer, and
in 1994 I took over from the Chief Buyer, Francis
Hughes, who was retiring. All in all, it’s been a
really enjoyable journey so far.

In association with
Advanced project planning and an innovative
remediation strategy are allowing for significant
sustainability benefits and time savings on
the Selly Oak RSD project in Birmingham.
The establishment
of an on-site
laboratory to test
both hydrocarbons
and heavy metals is
enabling the project
team to gain real-time
understanding of the
excavated material’s
composition and
geotechnical
characteristics. The
results also dictate the
treatments required
for each waste stream
in the on-site soil
hospital treatment
centre.

Tommy Carey commenting on the
pre-contract remediation strategy
What is your happiest memory of the
company?
When we weren’t so big, the company used to
own a couple of nightclubs and held its Christmas
dos there…Good times!
What has been the biggest success for you
personally?
The measure of success is very subjective: if you
do what you can for people, you will find success
in the relationships you form, the experiences you
encounter and the impression you leave behind.
What piece of advice would you give to
someone just starting out in their career with
Careys?
Don’t be afraid to ask for help if you need it.
Careys has a wealth of talented and experienced
people and this presents a unique learning
opportunity, so why not use it?
Tell me an interesting fact about yourself.
Hmmm I’m not sure it’s that interesting, but I am
a West Ham United supporter. All my family are
from East London so it had to be either West Ham
or Leyton Orient. I also practice Kenpo karate in
my spare time, which I really enjoy, and believe it
or not out of my two hobbies, it’s only the karate
that could be described as a dangerous pastime!
HR UPDATE
GROWTH &
DEVELOPMENT
PERFORMANCE AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW (PDR)
The company have launched a new PDR process with the purpose of
encouraging a two-way dialogue between managers and their teams. The PDR
process encourages a review of past performance and gives the employee
an opportunity to discuss their career aspirations. The new process also
encourages employees to consider not only ‘what’ they are delivering, but ‘how’
they are delivering in their roles and helps them to become more aware of the
Carey values, behaviours and competencies. Employees are responsible for
their own PDRs and should request a review with their line manager if one has
not yet been set. All PDR forms should be returned to the HR Department by the
end of May 2015.
More information on the PDR process can be found on CareysConnect under
Library – Guidelines.
CONTINUED GROWTH AND EXPANSION

HSEQT UPDATE
By Paul Johnson, Group HSEQT Director
EXPANSION OF THE HSQET TEAM
As the Carey Group continues to expand and
grow, so too has the HSEQT team. A new
approach has been adopted where HSEQT
Managers have been appointed to spearhead
improvements within each business unit across
the Group. They will take the lead on driving
increasing standards, enhancing our safety
culture and challenging poor performance.
I am delighted to announce that there have
been a number of promotions within HSQET.
Chris Wills is now looking after PJ Careys’
Health, Safety & Environmental matters, Marese
Lynch has taken on the role of HSEQT Manager
for T.E. Scudder and Paul Wilkinson has been
appointed HSEQT Manager for Careys New
Homes and our plant department. Tony Bishop
remains in charge of HSEQT matters for BDL,
ably supported by Anthony Pyne.
Interviews are currently under way to further
strengthen the HSEQT team with positions to
fill in Milton Keynes, London and Bristol. We are
also looking to recruit a HSEQT Manager for
ISO ACCREDITATION FOR ALL
GROUP BUSINESS UNITS
To support continued growth within each
business unit and to foster new company
specific procedures, each business unit will be
tasked with obtaining independent certification
to ISO9001, 14001 & OHSAS 18001. Currently,
combined certification exists for PJ Careys, T.E
Scudder and our plant hire department. This
approach is already bearing fruit, with ION
achieving independent ISO accreditation. Work
has now commenced for BDL who are working
hard to obtain their certification.
REVERSING THE TREND
In the first two months of the year, we recorded
a staggering ten underground cable / service
damages. Not all of these were from direct
strikes caused by our excavation works; some
were from services that we knew were in the
ground but failed to adequately protect.
Your support and commitment in following the
safe digging procedures, complying with the
requirements of the Permit to Break or Disturb
Ground and adherence with your training, will
help ensure we reverse this worrying trend.
To assist further, we are setting up our own
training facility at Milton Keynes and will work
with a specialist training provider who we have
partnered with successfully at Heathrow.
WEMBLEY
HEAD OFFICE
Paul Johnson
SHED UPDATE
BDL will begin the process of undertaking our
SHED programme in May, as Careys did way
back in 2009. It’s hard to believe that it was
six years ago when we first embarked on our
safety behavioural change programme. The
improvements are clear to all that worked with
Careys pre-SHED, and the results to date are
fantastic. But we aren’t done yet! There is still
more we can do to improve the standards and
working conditions on our sites.
As we continue to grow as a business, so too
does the workload for our SHED trainers. We’d
like to give a special mention to them for their
ongoing hard work and support, and for finding
time within their hectic day jobs to passionately
deliver our SHED message.
IMPROVED CONNECTIVITY
ACROSS REGIONAL AND
PROJECT OFFICES
The ICT Team are currently implementing
improved connectivity across all Carey
regional offices and to new sites as they start
up, with completion due in June this year. To
enable us to do this, we will migrate and work
to a fully managed Wide Area Network (WAN)
service.

A HUGE THANK YOU..
John Stephenson, Estimating Director, retired from
Careys just before Christmas, after 33 years with
the company.
Over this period, he played a pivotal role in helping
the company win a number of major projects,
particularly in the key areas of groundworks and
infrastructure. He proved himself to be a loyal
employee and was adept at winning the right jobs
at the right price. He was pivotal in establishing our
relationship with Sainsbury’s, in the 1980s winning
London Colney, and more recently Selly Oak.
John is regarded as a true friend of the family, and
on behalf of John, Pat and Tom, we would like to
thank him for the 33 years he spent working for
Careys, and wish him good health and happiness
for his retirement.
Careys Board of Directors
500 Carey employees have got
involved in the Foundation's
activities, had a great time and
made a positive difference to many
