Barhale Ltd

As part of the Thames Water Fortis Green Trunk Main Replacement project team’s ongoing support for the Friends of Arnos Park volunteering group, we were happy to help out at their Groundforce Day events held in November and last weekend. Thank you to Sebastian Antosiewicz (General Foreman), Tomasz Rachfal (Ganger), Harriclea B. (Customer and Stakeholder Manager), Wieslaw Adamarek (Carpenter), Isabel Duke (Customer and Stakeholder Advisor), Marta Pnishi (Customer and Stakeholder Lead), Marc Pattemore (Ganger) and Sorin Botezatu (Skilled Operative) for spending time on their Saturdays helping to manage the meadow and scrub by clearing trees and tidying branches. Clearing the overgrown areas ensures the community can safely access and use areas within the park which were previously inaccessible. Helping to maintain the natural environment within the park also supports its wildlife. #OurEnvironment #SocialValue #Volunteering

Congratulations to the STRABAG UK Equitix consortium on being named the preferred bidder by United Utilities for the Haweswater Aqueduct Resilience Programme (HARP) scheme!   As a key supply chain partner to the consortium, we have enjoyed working closely with STRABAG UK and are proud to have been able to play our part in supporting the tender submission throughout. Barhale Ltd have been tracking and involved with HARP for over 5 years. To be part of the winning consortium is fantastic news and a great achievement for all involved.   The technical solution, which has been developed, will serve to guarantee the resilience of water supply in the North West. This, coupled with lasting positive impact on local communities and supply chain means the project will leave a lasting legacy for years to come.   We are looking forward to further strengthening our relationship with STRABAG UK, as we look to ready ourselves for the construction phase of what will be a technically challenging and complex, yet highly rewarding project.  #waterresilience #waterindustry #contractaward #civilengineering

Celebrating 10 years with Emma Flavin, Finance Manager at Head Office! “From the very beginning Emma has demonstrated unwavering commitment and a strong desire to improve, which has not only resulted in her achieving a number of promotions within the business but has also led to obtaining her professional qualifications. Emma consistently goes above and beyond to provide support to others and takes immense pride in everything she does. It has been a pleasure to work alongside Emma over the last 10 years and witness her become an invaluable member of the team.”  - Ben Howard (Group Finance Manager, Head Office)

A special acknowledgment to Chris Mathers, Senior Contracts Manager in our Yorkshire Region, on his 10-year milestone with Barhale! “Chris is a key member of the Yorkshire Team. His 10 year anniversary is testament to his commitment and loyalty to Barhale. As we head into AMP8, his knowledge and ongoing support to the whole team will be so important. Chris is an excellent team player and a great person to have in and around the team. Thank you for the past 10 years’ service and good luck for the next!!” - Mark Wood (Regional Director, Yorkshire Region)

Congratulations to Clare Abraham, Cost Clerk in our eastern region, on celebrating 10 years with Barhale! “In her 10 years, Clare has mostly worked within the @one Alliance as a Commercial Assistant but in January this year she came over to join our Eastern Cost Clerk team. Since then, she has been an asset to the team – she’s picked up the new role very quickly, done everything asked of her and taken on extra responsibilities. She has fit into our team perfectly, it’s a pleasure to work with her – congrats on your anniversary Clare!” - Rebecca Sheldon (Cost Manager, Eastern Region)

A massive congratulations to Gordon Bull, Foreman in our Southern Region, on reaching an extraordinary milestone—25 years with Barhale! Over the past quarter of a century, Gordon has been a key figure in delivering successful projects. His commitment, expertise, and hard work continue to inspire everyone around him. Thank you, Gordon, for your outstanding contributions and dedication! “Gordon joined us 25 years ago, working with the Tunnelling team all over the country on our TBMs. Distance never being a problem, Gordon was, and still is, reliable. Barns Elms (one of our Thames Tideway schemes) was one of the many jobs Gordon worked on. He stayed there for a couple of years as Lift Supervisor. Following on from Barns Elms, he went to our HS2 Euston site in mid-2022. Due to his focus on H&S and his ability to communicate well with management and clients, Gordon was promoted to Foreman and hasn’t looked back. We would all like to commend Gordon for his loyalty and commitment to Barhale.” – Barry Baird (Operations Manager, Southern Region)

In our quarterly meeting with Southern Water’s Customer and Communications Team, we were able to celebrate achievements and share best practice with Southern Water and their delivery partners. Towards the end of the event, we had the opportunity to volunteer and support those in need, something our team is always happy to collaborate in. Amy W (Customer & Engagement Lead) and Marta Pnishi (Customer & Stakeholder Lead) in our Southern Region, joined forces with the rest of the group to spend some time at Winchester Basics Bank before Christmas. The charity provides emergency food and clothing and is available for all people in the city and surrounding area. The efforts of the team in this instance were focused on creating food packages for children who would normally receive free school meals, for use during the Christmas holiday period. An impressive 400 food bags were packed by the team for this very worthy cause. #SocialValue #Volunteering #TeamSpirit #Collaboration
