50% of organisations are struggling with the engineering skills shortage 🤯 As we heard from Lydia Amarquaye on our page yesterday, there is still work to be done to make engineering careers, particularly in niche areas, understandable to young people. Find out what organisations have been doing in our latest Maintenance Engineering Report with IMechE (check the comments for a download link). #SkillsShortage #2024MaintenanceEngineeringReport #Engineering

RS UK & Ireland reposted this
It was a huge privilege to use one of my volunteering days earlier this week to join some of my RS UK & Ireland colleagues to make and deliver food parcels to schools across Kettering. With thanks to our hosts at the Midland Langar Serva Society (MLSS), a charitable organisation that provides essential support to those facing hardship across the UK and internationally, inspired by the Sikh principle of Langar (community kitchen) It was a very rewarding day, and fantastic to contribute to such a worthy cause, that makes a difference to local families in need ❤️

🏴 Last week we held our first RS Event in Scotland at a historic, beautiful venue - The Merchants House Of Glasgow! Partners, customers and suppliers were invited to come and network, learn about the findings of our 2024 Health and Safety Report at an exclusive roundtable session, and discover more about RS' solutions and services. Thanks to Graeme Fullerton and Helen Campbell for helping to make the day happen, and to our fantastic suppliers for coming to exhibit: SICK Sensor Intelligence, Fluke Corporation, 3M, MASCOT® WORKWEAR, Teng Tools UK & Ireland, and Eaton. #RSScotland #UKManufacturing

”1 in 4 people live with some sort of mental health condition, 1 in 6 with the likes of anxiety or depression. The realisation that any one of us could be impacted at any given time has given me the boot up the bum to do something to help. So here we are." Our Implementation Manager, Steven Jones, is raising money for Mind in Somerset later this month - by walking a whopping 58 miles from Brean to Minehead 😅 (If you'd like to donate, the JustGiving link is in the comments) “The fact that RS provides us with a couple of days paid leave to do something positive within our community is incredible and this year I’ve decided to use mine to raise some much-needed funds for a very worthy organisation." Steve isn't a fan of walking, so it would seem an odd choice of challenge - “But the reason I've taken this challenge on is that during 2024 I've attended 4 funerals, 3 of which have been due to friends taking their own lives. As a result I have really struggled with my own mental health. I've seen first hand how important organisations like Mind can be." Steve: we're backing you every step of the way. #TeamSteve #TogetherForMentalHealth #WeAreRS #MentalHealthAwareness
