Industry Sectors

At Terex AWP, the concept of lifting people and materials higher extends beyond the products we build. It reflects the spirit of partnership behind everything we do. We’re a global company that’s deeply connected to our customers — working to help you build your business, whether you own one store or one hundred stores. GenieUK is based in Grantham.

Genie Industries began in 1966 with the introduction of the Genie® Hoist, a portable, pneumatic material lift. It was followed by additional material lifts and a series of aerial work platforms to meet customer demand — products that quickly gained worldwide recognition and often represented breakthroughs in design.
Today, as a subsidiary of Terex Corporation, we remain at the forefront of innovation and quality production. But our customer-focused values keep us grounded. From Denver to Dubai and Hong Kong to Helsinki, customers ask for our distinctive blue lifts on the jobsite because of our uncompromising service and support.

What do we do? Barkston Refinishing is a traditional bodyshop. That means that we are able to repair anything that is part of or attached to the vehicle body. This includes bonnets, roofs, glass, wings, doors, quarter panels, boot lids, sills, door mirrors you name it!

All productive staff have been apprentice trained and qualified to city & guilds / NVQ3.

Meet the team:

David (Company Director) has been working on cars since the age of 11 when he first got behind the steering wheel of a 1956 Morris Isis and learned to drive around the yard at the family home. Apprenticed in 1971 for five years and still learning 37 years later , proud to have worked with some real tradesmen. During that time the job has seen many changes mostly good, but sadly some things not so. Every day brings a new challenge, sometimes frustration, but always satisfaction and pride.

Andy has shadowed his brother Dave since he left school with a few variations of employers but shares the same love of the job. He joined Barkston Refinishing in May 1983 and celebrates 35 years with the company this year.

Paul son of David was born to spray. Loves to paint something different and wants to hear from you! Normally nobody sees the efforts of his labour as his job is to repair the car so that no one can tell its been done. Give him something different to do and make him happy!

Rosemarie married David in 1977 and still loves him. – what a woman! Rosemarie mans the office on a Friday and generally looks after the money. She is a pussycat most of the time but is feared in accounts departments and by debtors who dare to exceed our credit terms without telling her

Adam has loved classic cars every since he was 11 when he built a 1976 Triumph Spitfire 1500 from a bare shell upwards and every since he was ready to do anything with a car from learning how to paint it to how to do bodywork on it from welding to panel beating, Adam is our apprentice, joined in September 2016 and is making a good start to his career

The Water Management Alliance

The Water Management Alliance (WMA) is a group of like-minded Internal Drainage Boards (known as IDBs) operating in the Anglian Region. We are building resource and capacity in the Anglian region in order to meet the challenges of climate change, sustainable water and flood risk management.  The WMA works closely with our IDB’s, partners, communities and individuals to secure new funding streams and deliver innovative approaches at a local level.  

We welcome partnership approaches and aim to deliver value for money projects using local expertise and experience.  

Did you know Internal Drainage Boards…?

• date back some 900 years and are one of Europe’s oldest water management organisations.
  
• have statutory powers to undertake flood defence and water management works. 
  
• aim to manage water levels and flood risk management for people and wildlife sustainably and aim to limit impacts of flood and drought within their drainage districts.  
  
• are collectively one of the biggest managers of freshwaters and wetlands in the UK.  
  
• manage drainage districts that cover 10% of the land in England and Wales.
  
• manage and maintain over 500 pumping stations, 22,000 km of watercourse and numerous sluices and weirs for people and wildlife.  
  

The Water Management Alliance works for and on behalf of other Flood Risk Management Authorities as well as community groups, NGO’s and landowners.  We also deliver significant flood risk management benefits and enhanced environmental outcomes on the ground.  Our members are all independent and democratically accountable statutory bodies who seek to protect some 548,000 hectares in East Anglia. 

The WMA Eastern Drainage Boards include the Broads IDB, East Suffolk IDB and the Norfolk Rivers IDB.  

South Holland:

This  includes some of the most fertile arable land in the world and is widely recognised as the bread basket of Britain. The area is home to around 60,000 people, a thriving local economy and an increasingly popular tourist destination that attracts visitors from around the country. The area is both locally and nationally important and worth the cost of defending and protecting, now and in future.

Although the entire area is at considerable theoretical risk of river flooding and inundation from the sea, the actual risk is substantially reduced by the work that we do in partnership with Local Authorities, the Environment Agency and Natural England.

The area's full watershed catchment area draining to the Drainage District is the same as the Drainage District, which means that we can provide a better service than we might otherwise be able to: this is because we are not compelled to take surface water from outside the Drainage District that we have no control over. This gives us an advantage in being able to protect the people of South Holland and reduce the risk of flooding.

If you choose to work for the WMA or any of its Member Boards you will be joining an organisation which is striving to provide employees with a positive employment experience. Whether you work for us as a digger driver or as a member of the senior management team, there will be a considerable variety of challenges in your diverse workload and you will be offered real opportunities for career development.

Leadership at every level

The success of our company is built from having inspiring, creative leaders at all levels of the business. Because we believe that leadership shouldn’t – and doesn’t – come from the top alone. We need energising leaders in all parts of the business.

That’s why we invest heavily in developing internal excellence through leadership development programmes – combining internal and external training with a review process – to identify and develop talent at our company.

Our global employee development programme (GEDP) is the cornerstone of our people strategy and fosters leadership development by managing the performance, potential, development and careers of our people.

This approach to talent management not only creates career opportunities for those who strive to develop their potential. It also ensures we develop a pipeline of talent ready to occupy senior leadership positions.

Developing tomorrow’s leaders is also about providing excellent learning opportunities. The work of our university plays a key role here, offering corporate leadership development programmes to nurture our future leaders.

Imagine making every drop of water count for over six million customers - from the Humber in the North to the Thames in the South; and from Daventry in the West to Lowestoft in the East. Imagine an incredibly complex and amazingly innovative company that’s shaping the future of a whole industry. That’s the reality of working with us here at Anglian Water.

We’re in the business of ‘loving every drop’. That means making sure that 1.1 billion litres of clean and safe drinking water is delivered to homes and businesses, everyday using enough pipeline to wrap around the world three times! And the story doesn’t stop there: our Water Recycling Service teams work hard to collect and treat used water from 2.44 million households. So we really are a company for all types of skills, built on people from many different backgrounds.
