Engineering Success

It's interesting to be in the middle of the machine, trying to get the cogs to move faster - without losing too many fingers. Following on from a couple of weeks of discussions, the elements came together with a very productive meeting that started to connect an engineering sector project manager, an engineering trainer and me, to shape up a new approach to get employers and contractors on board with environmental standards that are fit for where we need to get to rather than where we are now.

As always, there's much to do to make action kick in, and somewhere on the journey, every employee of every engineering company will need to change the way they work to make it for One Planet, low carbon business.

Starting in West Wales though, makes sense as there's huge scope to use the weight of companies such as RWE NPower, who will be operators of the new gas fired power station, to make change happen. They win, employers win, contractors win, community wins. Watch this space.
