The Chevron Group has used the Samaritans BREW MONDAY campaign to announce a donation of £5000 to the mental health charity.

The traffic management company received a £5,000 ESG Governance Award from their parent company Triton Partners in recognition for their work towards ISO Certification for the group.

Jamie Bowen spoke about the decision to donate the award to Samaritans: “As the UK’s leading provider of traffic management services, the Chevron Group is acutely aware of the need for the important services that Samaritans provides. Due to the nature of our work maintaining the UK’s road network, our operatives sadly come into contact with individuals who are considering taking their lives, and are often the first responders in these situations.

Unfortunately, our operatives are seeing more and more cases of vulnerable people during their work. In fact, since the first national lockdown in March 2020, the number of observations reported by our workforce relating to potentially suicidal members of the public has more than doubled.

This is heart-breaking. The Chevron Group wants to do what we can do to reduce these numbers and support these people in their darkest hour. While our operatives provide support and help at the point of immediate danger, the work Samaritans do to support them in the longer term is immense and we are delighted to donate our £5,000 award.”

BREW MONDAY is an initiative organised by Samaritans to encourage people to reach out to friends, family, colleagues or loved ones and have a brew and a chat to encourage people to open up about how they are feeling.

“The Chevron Group is getting involved in Brew Monday on 17 th January,” adds Jamie. “It’s a simple initiative but sometimes a chat over a cuppa can kickstart a conversation about mental health and how things are in our own worlds. It could make a real difference.”

If you or someone you know is struggling to cope, it’s completely free to contact Samaritans. Call free day or night on 116 123, visit Samaritans.org, or email jo@samaritans.org

Thank you for your help. The works to the bridge were completed and great teamwork from both crews. I had a good view from the bridge and was very impressed by their work. Always said it....TM is an art form!

Please accept our thanks your team’s efforts on this project. Chevron have been brilliant, nothing has been too much to ask of you and we have delivered to programme despite the complexities of working at these junctions. Look forward to working with you in the future, I think it’s forged a good relationship between us.

Marlow Carnival 2017

Can I please express my thanks on behalf of everyone at Kier for the exceptional aptitude and attitude shown by one of your site teams who were engaged in a recent local community project. As with any town centre closure there were some ‘challenges’ thrown at the crew but their attitude and commitment to the safety of the children, parents and support groups was second to none. It’s lovely to be able to write this reference to your colleagues, please pass on my most sincere thanks.

Another great success for Area 3. To turn this around in such a short space of time due to the nature of the repair and the location is a credit to you and your teams. Well done!

A404 Resurfacing

Could I say a big thank you to yourselves and to all your crews which were on site at the A404 Resurfacing scheme last night. I have spoken to the Tarmac site supervisor from the Chieveley depot this morning who was very appreciative of how helpful and how good it was to work with the crew that was on site.
