A taste of life in Work

A taste of life in Work

Posted by admin on with 0 Comment

At Nationwide Lifts & Escalators  we feel it is vital now more than ever to get relevant work experience  the climate for jobs is ever changing and being ahead of the game with some industry knowledge behind you and a taste of life in work is vital to progression in a very competitive marketplace.

This week we opened the door  to some fresh young talent in Niall who has joined us on a Industry placement from Sunderland College, its the first time we have taken on a student placement and what a breath of fresh air in the office, we are learning as much from him as hopefully he is learning from us, its been a week of going over our marketing strategies and sharpening up the look of our Socials and more.

Lets get to know him a little better.

What made you choose the course you are currently doing?

I chose Business Studies because of my interest in the subject generated in school where I was first introduced to the aspects of life in a business. During that time, I learned the importance of all the departments involved in the running of a business and how universal the skills that you learn can be. It was because of this that made me want to further my knowledge in the subject and pursue the subject at College.

How important do you think it is to get out and get work experience?

I think work experience is vital in preparation for starting working life. It enables you to enhance and learn new skills as well as make contacts in different industries. Taking part in work experience also gives you the opportunity to explore different options in order to get a clearer vision on where it is you want to go next and know the steps you need to take to get there and to get a taste of life in work.

How has Covid-19 affected your College Life?

With the current measures in place we must wear masks whilst in the corridors and sanitise our hands when we pass the stations around College. The biggest changes are having lessons cut short by about 10 minutes so that lecturers can sanitise desks, laptops and computers as well as adapting to remote learning. It is also prohibited to mix with other students from other classes to eliminate the chances of passing Covid-19 between classes. All these measures are in place to continue regular learning and reduce absences or quarantines of classes.

What are you hoping to get out of the placement?

I am hoping to expand my knowledge of marketing and develop my skills related to that area. I also hope that during my placement it will prepare me for what I choose to do after College. I am confident that my time at Nationwide Lifts will provide me with valuable experience that I will be able to carry with me onto my next step.

What are you looking to do after College?

I am still considering where to go and what to do once I leave College whether that is further education or entering the workplace. However, I am sure by completing my work placement it will help me come to a decision.

Growing The Business

First hand view

Posted by admin on with 0 Comment

This week we won the maintenance contracts for a major hotel chain throughout the UK. Due to this we have had a first-hand view at the effect the pandemic and the restrictions that accompany daily life have had on the hospitality industry.

Properties have been repurposed to help with better handling those who need treatment and others have been outfitted with measures related to both hygiene and the way a business operates to better reduce the spread of Covid-19 whilst aspects of pre lockdown life can still be pursued.

Once the going got tough the Government opened new temporary hospitals, like the Nightingale Hospitals, as well as repurposing leisure buildings in order to cope with the increasing number of patients. The task of constructing and repurposing buildings was enormous and had to be conducted under strict hygiene standards as well as ever increasing time constraints due to the rising demand for additional hospitals and test centres.

As the possibility of a second wave looms and local and national restrictions intensify the true toll on the hospitality industry is only just being revealed. By the end of the year the chief executive of UK Hospitality has said ‘the anticipated number of additional redundancies by the end of the year was 560,000’. This is now estimated to be much higher due to local restrictions. Therefore, Nationwide Lifts & Escalators Ltd is on standby to help affected industries in all lift related areas such as lift maintenance, lift repairs and lift modernisation with a first hand view

When travelling in a lift remember to practice social distancing as much as possible and try to avoid crowding in the lifts. Also avoid touching the buttons with your hands themselves. Spreading will also be reduced by regular cleaning and disinfecting of surfaces.

At Nationwide Lifts & Escalators Ltd we do not see ourselves as the normal run of the mill lift contractor.  Through our dedicated customer care, we see ourselves as your partner throughout the entire lifespan of your lift equipment. We are in this together, every step of the way.

 

 

Lift Maintenance Agreement

Lift Maintenance Agreement in Middlesbrough

Posted by admin on with 0 Comment

We were recently contacted by a existing client who was looking for a new lift maintenance agreement for a high ened retail unit based in Middlesbrough. Our client is a leading North East property management company based in Newcastle and they have recently taken over the retail unit in the North East.

Our brief was to attend site to carry out one of our free site surveys to determine suitability for going reliability as well as health and safety compliance. Following our survey we submitted a detailed lift proposal which was accepted by the client.

We attended site within 7 days to carry out various works to ensure that the lift would provide lasting reliability as the lift was critical to the buildings people flow. In addition we upgraded various items to ensure that the Health and Safety of all concerned with the lift was enhanced.

On successful completion of the works we were subsequently awarded a 5 year lift maintenance agreement to enhance and build upon our strengthening links to one of the North East’s leading property management companies.

We offer traditional lift maintenance that allows our experienced lift engineers more time to look after your lifts on site. By offering the right lift service, our engineers can help cut down on call-outs, breakdowns and costs. By spending more time on an individual lift it allows our engineers to prevent issues happening in the future. We do not believe in giving our engineers huge rounds to complete each day as this can cut back on quality and time on site.

We can tailor lift maintenance to suit clients requirements. We can offer standard contracts or comprehensive solutions for your lift servicing. We always take into consideration the type of equipment, usage, age and clients budgets before we agree the best way forward for your lift maintenance solution.
