Autumn works are getting underway as the wind picks up, and our latest piece of mechanised vegetation management kit is working its magic. Please, get in touch if you require tree works or any vegetation management, this autumn. We have the kit for it ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eNbsV3kV #TreeWorks #VegetationManagement #Arboriculture #Infrastructure #GCMech
#BabyBlue is out on her first job for Ground Control's Mechanised Division, #GCMech. We are removing leaf-fall species before autumn hits, as the leaves on the track can cause traction issues for the trains. This is one of the major lines through Nottingham and it is vital to keep this line open for the thousands of commuters who rely on it daily. These works will also provide greater visibility for both train drivers and line-side workers, to improve safety. We are working in support of 18 hand cutters, who are clearing track-side vegetation at night under possessions. Our #RRV division is then forwarding the material to the access point, where one of our teams stacks the material at night, ready for our dayshift team to chip the material into walking floors, before it's taken away for biomass. #SafetyFirst #ProtectingBritainsInfrastructure Ground Control Craig Sanders Louis Koroma Josh Airey Michael Dakers Alec Pearson

Serial entrepreneur Simon Morrish analyses the performance of one of his businesses - Ground Control - and while there is much to be proud of, he also sees room for improvement. "The financial year for 2023 to 2024 was the first in 20 years in which we did not record consecutive annual profit growth, a reflection of both the external environment but also growing pains that we didn’t fully anticipate," he writes in today's The Times. #entrepreneurs #scaleups #leadership #planning
