Specialist Support Teams

The health, safety, and environmental well-being of our workforce, clients, and the communities we operate in are of the greatest of importance. Our commitment to excellence in this area is evident through our long-standing exemplary health and safety record. Graham Chandler joined us in 2020, and alongside our team, has built upon this success with the continued improvement of our processes and education for all. We received the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) highest ‘Gold standard’ award in both 2022 and 2023.

It goes without saying that we are committed to continued improvement in quality across our sites, offices and in the processes we employ. In 2023, we achieved three ISO accreditations for Quality: 9001, Environment: 14001, as well as Health & Safety: 45001 – further demonstrating our dedication to upholding the highest standards in this field.

As we all know too well, managing the day-to-day accounts in our industry is no small concern. Lynda Reid and her team navigate the requirements of their roles to ensure that all divisions and other support teams can keep fulfilling their own. Our commitment to treating people right is keenly felt and is an essential part of Lynda’s day to day decisions.

We are committed to being the best employer we can be. Our policies are set and monitored closely by our Directors and Managers to ensure we meet our regulatory obligations, whilst making the working environment interesting and fulfilling, and promoting the EJT ethos for quality of both service and workmanship. Gary Toublic co-ordinates our HR & Payroll function for our 200 strong team of people.

Kirsty Sherwin heads up our busy procurement team, which consistently delivers in the complex process of cost, efficient solutions and on-time logistics. This busy department is committed to securing the right products for our sites, cost efficiently and in line with our ethical values.

Our eight-person strong team comprises of Mechanical & Plant Engineers, HGV drivers, Yard & Stores Co-ordinator, and Jamie Field, as Head of Plant & Transport. He has held this position since 2017 having started with EJT as our Hire Desk Assistant when he was 20. Another busy team which is key to the running of the businesses.

This is a growing team, which is headed up by Director James Taylor. The requirements on the IT systems provision increases endlessly as both the group expands, and technologies evolve. This team also works to improve on available external systems with in-house design and development for such things as our Lone Worker App, and our CCTV which is part of our own Group ERP system – Enterpriser. Our AI CCTV was developed with the Plant & Transport department and is used across our own sites, as well as hired to external entities.

Our Support Team is managed by Kat Davey. This team provides back up to all others, across all companies in the group, providing help whenever needed to ensure that we are never falling behind. This department has been an essential resource for our teams in both production and other support roles, to keep up with their workload and has now taken on the all-important social events organisation.
