News   PEME ATTAINS NATIONAL SAFE CONTRACTOR’S ACCREDITATION  |  November 2007 PEME Process Control are proud to announce that after a significant and in depth audit process they have been awarded accreditation and added to the database of Companies listed on the SAFEContractor scheme operated by International Safety, Health and Environmental Risk Management specialists the National Britannia Group. This programme recognises very high standards of Health and Safety practice amongst UK Contractors and accreditation is highly prized by those Companies that achieve it. More than eighty major nationwide businesses use the database to select competent and SAFE Contractors for their projects, safe in the belief that as a result of an independent audit they are employing a Professional Company with the Safety of its Clients and Workforce to the fore.         PEME WINS SAFETY AWARD |  October 2007 Bruno Duarte and Petar Chovdarov were jointly awarded the Contractor Safety Award by one of our major client’s for the month of October. While testing and labelling equipment they discovered an extractor fan in a sparsely populated area that was on the point of catching fire. They isolated and made the fan safe before reporting it to the correct people preventing a potentially damaging fire. Bruno and Peter were presented with their awards by the client’s HSE Manager at the monthly Contractor Safety Meeting on 14th November 2007. They each received an RAC Motoring Pack and use of a preferential parking spot close by the front doors, very handy at this time of year!         PEME APPRENTICE TAKES NATIONAL PRIZE |  July 2007 Simon Latimer is one of three Electrical Apprentices that PEME recruited last year in conjunction with the ECITB. Simon will be joining PEME in October, after completing a year's full time studies to gain his technical certificates. In July, Simon won 2 awards at his local training centre, 'Best Electro-Technical Installation Apprentice' and overall 'ECITB Apprentice of the Year'. It is essential for the ongoing success of the organisation to recruit and train high calibre apprentices. We are delighted that Simon is helping us attain these high standards and drive the business forward.         TWO BRAVE PEME LADIES WALK HADRIAN’S WALL |  May 2007 The dynamic duo from the PEME accounts office braved all weathers to walk from Newcastle to Carlisle over seven days. Alison Bimson and Catherine Walsh embarked on the challenge and raised money for a good cause at the same time. Five Hundred Pounds was donated to Victim Support Cambridgeshire which is a cause close to the ladies’ hearts. The charity were most appreciative of the donation and were very impressed by the journey Cathy and Alison had made. The terrain covered over the seven days was steep and rocky and the weather was not always kind but the pair showed tremendous strength and encouraged one another to achieve their end goal.         NEW ADDITION TO SOFTWARE AND DESIGN TEAM. |  March 2007         CHRISTMAS FAMILY DAY  |  December 2006 For the second Christmas in a row, PEME’s Head Office was overrun with excitable youngsters. The last working day before Christmas saw lots of fun (and plenty of noise) in the office as the kids were invited in for the day. A day like this would not be complete without a visit from the “man in the red suit” who handed out gifts much to the delight of the children. The day has been a great success these past two years and we hope it will become a PEME tradition.         CHILDREN IN NEED  |  November 2006 This year's Children in Need Appeal was a great success as PEME staff happily participated in various fundraising activities. A 'Dress Down Day' was held on Friday 17th November along with Auctions and Raffles to help raise a substantial sum. Thanks go to the Company Directors who generously donated their time on the day and spent a couple of hours washing staff cars to help raise extra cash. All together, the event raised £188. A most successful total.         RECOGNITION FOR NO LOST TIME INCIDENTS  |  October 2006 Congratulations go to our Southern Division as October brings a full year without a single lost time incident at one of our major client's sites. Our team enjoyed a free breakfast supplied by the client as appreciation for their efforts.         NEW CAREERS FOR PEME APPRENTICES  |  September 2006 Within the industry, there is a need for highly skilled, qualified engineers. PEME are committed to a successful apprentice scheme and as such, this year, PEME welcomes six new apprentices to staff. These "future engineers" will work across all our sites and undergo College training over the course of the next three and a half to five years until their full qualification is achieved. We are proud to be working alongside the ECITB to provide a number of these apprenticeships and fund the remainder of the apprentice places internally. We look forward to playing a significant roll in the professional development of these new recruits.         SUCCESS FOR PEME SPONSORED TEAM  |  JUNE 2006 In only their second season of 11 a side, the team has had an amazing season. Following their promotion from Division 3 of the Royston and Crow League, they have improved immensely winning the Division 2 title with 3 games to spare and a record of 16 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss with an outstanding total of 79 goals. After such a fantastic season, it is no surprise that the team came away winners after their first tournament of the Summer season at Bedford Rangers (see photograph). The team are also planning a tour to Holland next May to take part in a European under 13's competition.         SITE SAFETY AWARD  |  MAY 2006 Congratulations to Richard Rollings for winning the site safety award at one of our major clients. Implementing a personal lock off system for his team to run in conjunction with the clients' permit system has earned Richard this award. Sourcing fuse way lock off's, identification tags and engraved personal locks and training his electricians in their use, Richard has taken that extra step to ensure the safety of his team.         CHARITY AUCTION  |  MARCH 2006 As part of our ongoing support of charitable organisations our employees held an auction in December to raise money for the Lennox Childrens Cancer Fund.         PEME SPONSORS LOCAL FOOTBALL TEAM  |  MARCH 2006 PEME Process Control are proud to be sponsors of the Wisbech Acorns Under 8's football team.
