RAWLEY

Associated Business Groups

The Business Association

We are active members of the TBA, an organisation that promotes Basildon and the benefits of being located within the business community there. 

Burnt Mills Industrial Association

We also actively work with the BMIA, a body which cares about and has the interests of the Burnt Mills Industrial Estate, at its heart.

Charitable Donations

Each year we donate money to our charity of choice which is the Essex Wildlife Trust.  Since 1995 we have been Silver Corporate Sponsors and have recently provided a legacy donation to commemorate our 50 years serving the local community – click here for more info.

We also regularly take part in and donate to events organised by St Luke's Hospice and The Friends Pensioners Club which are local charities.

Disposal of Waste

Effluent is disposed of under approval by Anglian Water.  All other waste is also carefully disposed of – see our Environmental Policy.  We also have a Waste Carriers License which allows us to carry effluent from customers sites back to our yard where we have a licensed discharge point, or to the local sewage treatment works.

Good Neighbours

We consider ourselves good neighbours.  We do not generate an excess of noise, work unsociable hours or night work and do not impact on our neighbours in any way.  We provide staff parking and do not allow our vehicles to block access to roads or other industrial units where we are located. We are members of the Burnt Mills Industrial Association and regularly contribute to improvements in our local area.

Products

We have developed a range of eco-friendly welfare units that contain a reduced size generator and energy-efficient appliances which cut down on the amount of fuel used thus the emissions produced are reduced along with any noise from the generator.

Recycling

We aim to reduce the amount of waste we produce wherever possible.  At present we recycle cardboard, paper, metal and plastic.  Metal is re-used or sent for recycling at an authorised centre.

Re-use

Our COMBI-GEN welfare units are supplied with compliancy kits which include microwaves and kettles.  Most of these items are then returned with the welfare unit when it is finished with.  For health and safety reasons we cannot resell these items.  Rather than dispose of them under the WEE directive we send them to the Lighthouse Project where they are cleaned and tested then sold for a low sum or given to needy members of the community.  This allows others to benefit from items that would have otherwise been disposed of.

Rolling Capital Expenditure Plan – Commercial Vehicles

Ongoing programme to replace commercial vehicles after 3-5 years.  This ensures that vehicle specification is kept up to date and that our company vehicles  are equipped with the most up to date and environmentally friendly engines which conform to the latest Euro standards.

Staff Training

We provide training for all staff relevant to their line of work.  We have supported staff training from NVQ’s to Open University Degrees.  Most of the qualifications gained are associated with our line of work and include Health and Safety Training and Driver Training.

Staffing

We employ 25 local people who live in and around the Basildon area.  Several of our staff cycle to work, use motor cycles and car share which helps to reduce traffic and emissions.  We provide a cycle rack for staff wishing to cycle. 

Trade Associations

We are members of the Modular and Portable Buildings Association (MPBA) which promotes portable buildings within the industry.  It offers guidance and expert advice to its members and has recently had Health and Safety Executive approval to its Code of Practice for Loading and Unloading Relocateable Portable Accommodation and Storage Units.
