As we have come to expect from Cadent's expectational Street Works teams, we walked away with three trophies from the prestigious UK Street Works Awards 2024, held in the Houses of Parliament. Our project on Parliament Hill won the award for Best Collaboration alongside our partners at Camden Council the GLA. This project brought 8 different organisations together – Cadent, Camden, Marlborough Highways, Metis, Terrafirma, Morrisons, the Environment Agency and the Greater London Authority. Each organisation played a key role in driving the project forward. Accepting on behalf of Candent was Prenesh Sargakumar and Michael Solomon with Gordon Hamilton from Camden Council, and Grace Docker from the GLA. The Judging Panel saw what the North London Network can all see and named our own Streetworks & Reinstatement Coordinator, Roxanne Rosario as 2024's Rising Star! Roxanne was thrilled to have won and credits how Cadent puts talent first that allowed her to find her feet and excel in Streetworks. And last but not least, Mark Whitakker, Head of Works Quality Managment System won the prestigious Chairman's Award.

We are pleased to partner with Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service to raise awareness and keep local residents safe from the dangers of carbon monoxide (CO). CO is a colourless, odourless, poisonous gas that you can't see, hear or smell and can be produced by anything that burns carbon-based fuels. The best way to keep you and your household safe from CO is to get an alarm that alerts you if CO is present. Learn more at cadentgas.com/co

The push of a button could make all the difference in a gas emergency. The EasyAssistTM Emergency Control Valve (ECV) is designed to support people with restricted hand movement, which could make shutting off the current standard ECV handle potentially difficult. It is retrofitted over a property’s ECV meaning that, with a single push of the button, the gas to the property can be quickly and safely turned off in the event of a gas emergency. It also has a smart safety feature that will switch the gas off if it detects high temperatures in a house fire. We now supply and fit these for free for eligible customers as part of our Services Beyond the Meter programme. To find out more visit https://lnkd.in/e8gfDx77 #EasierWarmth #ServicesBeyondTheMeter

Yesterday, our Cadent Foundation launched its £2 million Winter Support Fund for the second year, to provide immediate and vital relief for people living in vulnerable situations within our communities.   The Fund offers food and fuel vouchers and energy-efficient heating and cooking appliances to eligible individuals, distributed by its charitable partners.   Ranjit Gill Blythe MBA MCIM, Managing Director of the Cadent Foundation, commented: "With research revealing that almost 70 per cent of adults feel worried about what their bills will be this winter, we are expecting to reach thousands of people with our additional support."   For more information about the Cadent Foundation, or to find a list of partners who can help you with energy efficiency advice and support, visit cadentfoundation.com

🎉We are finalists at the Utility Week Awards 2024! We’re thrilled to be shortlisted in some key categories which acknowledge the positive difference we’re making in our communities. ⭐Cost of Living – Services Beyond the Meter. This project goes the extra mile, to help those who are vulnerable after their gas supply is switched off. We deliver vital services to eligible customers, beyond the network gas supply, including proactive gas appliance servicing, gas appliance repair and replacement, CO alarm installation, CO and energy efficiency advice and assistance. ⭐Cost of Living – Being a ‘force for good’. We drive a few initiatives to tackle fuel poverty and the cost-of-living crisis in the communities we serve. Our end-to-end support, stretches from projects like funding Centres for warmth, and our Cadent Foundation which last year launched a £2m winter support fund with their charities. This year, we’ve supported over a million households, to stay safe and warm at home. ⭐Customer Experience – Ratby water ingress incident response. When more than 2,700 homes in a Leicestershire village were left without gas following a burst water pipe flooding the network, Cadent led a multi-agency response, putting customers at the heart of our operations, to support them fully in winter conditions. Good luck to our finalist teams who will attend the ceremony on 3rd December.

The Vulnerability and Carbon Monoxide Allowance (VCMA) has allowed us to make a huge difference to hundreds of thousands of our customers through the many initiatives it has funded.   Through our Services Beyond the Meter project, we were recently able to support Universal Gas Solutions in helping a customer, who had recently suffered a fire in their home, with a new boiler. Without this vital help the customer would have been left without a way to heat their home.   #EasierWarmth #ServicesBeyondTheMeter

This week we hosted our first Vulnerability Conference 🎉 The purpose of the conference was to facilitate and collaborate, whilst exploring best practice and innovative strategies which effectively support our customers. Over 170 delegates attended the event, and we were joined by representatives from our Centres for Warmth, Ofgem, Government, many of our key partners and those who we support through our VCMA funding. We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who attended, our speakers and panellists!

As part of the Digital Platform for Leakage Analytics (DPLA) project we are rolling out trials of in-field methane detection technologies. Our latest trial is looking at installing Sensirion Connected Solutions fixed sensors to detect methane leaks at Above-Ground Installation (AGI) sites in our East Anglia and North London networks. The devices are being trialled across both regions, and the results will be analysed to gather important data and provide learnings for ourselves and in time the wider industry through dissemination. #DPLA, #DigitalPlatformforLeakageAnalytics, #SIF, #Innovation.
