The Chevron Group has made two new appointments to its Senior Leadership Team.

Chris Woodroofe has joined the organisation as Chief Operating Officer to oversee all aspects of operational performance and help drive the company’s continuing growth.

“We are delighted to welcome Chris to the Chevron Group,” comments Chevron CEO, Tim Cockayne. “Chris joins us from Gatwick Airport where he spent 14 years leading a number of successful people, process and system change programmes, most recently as Chief Operating Officer. As a result, he has strong experience in delivering organisational change and performance improvement in complex and challenging environments. He will bring a fresh approach to our operations.”

In another appointment, Louise Cope has joined as Chevron Group HR Director with a key focus on driving the company’s ambitious recruitment plans.

“Louise has over 20 years’ experience in HR in manufacturing, engineering and accident repair with companies which include Nissan, Kraft-Cadbury and Redde Northgate Nationwide Accident Repair,” adds Cockayne. “She has delivered a number of successful projects including large scale mergers, acquisitions and integration and change programmes and brings a wealth of experience to Chevron Group.”

The Chevron Group is the UK’s leading Work-Zone Safety company for traffic management, digital services and highway soft estate management, comprising of Chevron Traffic Management, Chevron Green Services, HRS and Class One in Scotland. The group was recently named as a supply chain partner on National Highways’ new £3.6bn Scheme Delivery Framework (SDF) and secured a long-term contract to supply traffic management services to Severn Trent Water.

“Chris and Louise are joining us at a very exciting stage in the Chevron journey,” continues Cockayne. “We have recently been awarded a number of significant long-term contracts and have a strong pipeline of other secured works. They will be instrumental in supporting the successful delivery of these contracts and ensuring our continued growth. We are delighted to have them in the Chevron Group.”

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.

Richard Moore, Traffic Management Team Manager, Kier Highways

Area 3 ASC- Emergency Narrow Lane Scheme, M27 J12

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.
