Keyline is delighted to announce the appointment of Andy Rodgers as its new National Account Manager. Having spent 30 years in the industry, Andy joins Keyline’s national contractor team from Cubis Systems where he spent two years as the Rail Business Development Manager. Prior to Cubis, Andy worked at Polypipe Civils and Radius Systems, and brings a wealth of manufacturing and utility sales experience. His role at Keyline will see Andy working with national contractors and manufacturers to ensure best solutions and overall value are offered through early engagement with customers and supply chain alike. A focus will be on building partnerships and ensuring a cost-effective, timely delivery of projects. Andy commented: “I’m delighted to have joined Keyline. I’m looking forward to working for a business that is taking the lead rather than following, and using my manufacturing background and industry experience to offer smarter solutions to customers.”
Keyline, the UK civils, heavy building materials and drainage solutions supplier, donated £10,000 of tickets for 200 veterans to attend the tribute show for Dame Vera Lynne. In order to honour the Forces’ Sweetheart Dame Vera Lynn, a tribute show was put on. Dame Lynn turned 100 this week and the tribute was to celebrate her contributions as well as an opportunity to raise money for her legacy charity. The business donated the tickets that allowed the veterans to attend an all-star variety concert. The event took place on Saturday the 18th March at the London Palladium. A collection of celebrities came together in order to celebrate Dame Vera Lynn’s career. The celebrities who performed included Aled Jones, Bradley Walsh, Russell Watson, Alexander Armstrong, Anthony Andrews, Simon Callow, Wayne Sleep and Brian Blessed OBE. The tickets that were donated by Keyline were distributed amongst veterans, many of which have suffered with disabilities as a result of their service to their country. This donation was made through two charities: The Taxi Charity for Military Veterans and The Not Forgotten Association. One of the veterans that benefited from the donation is Harry Joel MBE. Joel is the 92-year-old founding member of The Taxi Charity for Military Veterans. Harry Joel MBE was too young to join the armed forces at the outbreak of WWII, so joined the Home Guard as a bicycle messenger. He was then called up to join the Royal Navy, serving on HMS Dittany. Keyline thought that they needed to support the event because of the men and women who served the country and the support Dame Vera showed during WWII. The Dame Vera Lynn Children’s Charity works on behalf of children with Cerebral Palsy. It is a great charity to support while also treating veterans to a Night To Remember as well as celebrating the 100th birthday of such an iconic figure.
Recently winning a Gold RoSPA Occupational Health and Safety Award, Keyline has recently been highlighted as one of those organisations taking health and safety as a foremost concern. The company, renown as a specialist in the provision of drainage and civils solutions, as well as heavy building materials, came into the award following on from being celebrated for its markedly responsible standards for health and safety as perceived over the course of the past year. Most specifically, praise was given for the integral role played by both senior managers and directors in the overarching health and safety stratagems of the company. This saw a heavy focus on integrating all members of the Keyline team in the health and safety process, as well as typical forms of engagement to ensure a complete health and safety culture. A core part of this saw a considerable focus on proper risk assessments, enabling the company to adapt health and safety procedures in line with the relative risks perceived by a health and safety conscious workforce. Nodding towards the company’s delight in receiving the award, as well as how it underlines how far the company has come in achieving first-class results for health and safety processes, Keyline’s Safety Director, Richard Byrne provided commentary on the win. He said: “Our obligation to health and safety extends to our colleagues, the contractors we employ, our customers, stakeholders that we work with, and members of the public. We are extremely proud that this effort has been acknowledged by RoSPA.” The event also tied in with RoSPA’s 60th anniversary for its Health and Safety Awards, with the scheme having existed for a more extended period of time than any like-schemes in the industry. As such, success at the RoSPA awards is quite traditionally looked upon as the premier mark of success for health and safety procedures.
