Following a competitive tendering exercise at the end of 2019, MWGM have been successful in winning a grounds maintenance contract with the East of England Ambulance Service Trust.
MWGM has worked for the Trust since 2014 and over the years the number of sites we maintain has steadily increased. The new contract is to maintain all 73 EEAST sites across Herts, Beds, Cambs, Suffolk, Norfolk and Essex for 5 years commencing March 2020.
Our telehandler has already proven it’s worth at our main depot since taking delivery of it several months ago. Yesterday, it had its first outing to assist our operatives who were clearing an overgrown shrub at a local residential site. And it didn’t disappoint!
The Jasmine had not been maintained and was so out of control it had become a site hazard. By putting the telehandler to work it reduced the man hours by a day and eliminated our operatives working at height.
Our client was delighted with the work carried out…another satisfied customer!
This week we have welcomed a new addition to our fleet. We took delivery of a brand new tipper van. It is a little bigger than our existing tippers and has front and rear cameras. Once sign written and kitted out it will then be put to work delivering our services to our clients and meeting the demands of our busy schedules.
We are delighted to announce that we have achieved accreditation for Cyber Essentials.
Cyber Essentials is a Government-backed, industry-supported scheme to help organisations protect themselves against common online threats.
The accreditation confirms that our ICT defences have been assessed as satisfactory against a commodity based cyber-attack and also demonstrates our commitment to data protection and cyber security.
With Cyber Crime on the increase this is reassuring to know that we are protected from the most common attacks.
Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year. With best wishes from everyone at Mark Walker Grounds Maintenance Ltd.
This week we undertook the bi annual maintenance of five living green walls at one of our clients sites.
With space often being limited in built up environments, the installation of green walls on existing buildings has become a popular and innovative solution to urban greening whilst providing natural insulation to the building.
Plants have numerous benefits to the urban environment. They improve air quality and reduce levels of harmful air pollutants and help capture, store and recycle rain water.
A successful week of training here at MWGM covering The Safe Handling & Application of Pesticides and the safe operation of our Telehandler, further ensuring we can maintain technical expertise on all of our services 100% of the time.
We have great pleasure in announcing our relocation to our new premises in Welwyn Garden City. We are incredibly excited to be in our new home and the start of another chapter in the Mark Walker Grounds Maintenance history.
