Mike's Long Service at PMG

Congratulations to driver Mike Lally on his recent long service award.

Mike is based at our Bristol yard and has been driving PMG road sweepers for the past 10 years. He is an excellent operator and a credit to our company.

He is pictured here receiving his long service bonus and bottle of champagne from PMG joint managing director Patrick McGuinness.

Said Mike: “I really don’t know where the time has gone!  The past ten years have just  flown by. I really enjoy working at PMG .”

New Wheels for Michelle

Michelle joined the team in Swindon earlier this year and has been driving a 7.5 tonne sweepers. Now she can drive far more of the vehicles in our 50 strong fleet and is currently at the wheel of a 15 tonne sweeper.

Top Quality Certification for PMG

PMG has achieved ISO 9001 certification which is recognised worldwide as the international benchmark for quality within an organisation.

By achieving our ISO 9001 certification, PMG is able to demonstrate to customers and suppliers that the systems we have in place meet the high standards set out by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO).

Said Operations Manager Stuart Knight: “PMG’s continuing success is all down to ensuring we deliver the highest quality of service to customers at all times. To achieve this we have to ensure the right systems and processes are in place. For the ISO 9001 certification we had to demonstrate our dedication and commitment to meeting our customers’ needs, operating efficient management processes and delivering consistent, good quality products and services.

“I’d like to say a big thank you to everyone here at PMG who worked so hard to make sure everything was in place to ensure we achieved this certification.”

Falling Leaves

Have you ever wondered what happens to all of those autumn leaves after they have been swept up from the roads?

 

They get recycled and turned into compost!
Here at PMG we have our own recycling facility where we process up to 25 tonnes of road sweeping and gully waste each year. In addition to processing the waste from our own fleet of vehicles we have contracts with Bristol City, South Gloucestershire and Bath Councils along with major highways infrastructure company Skanska and a whole host of blue chip construction companies.

None of the waste managed by us is sent to landfill. Sand and aggregate is graded and separated out for re-use, metal is sold-on and litter and oversized non organic waste goes to a company that turns it into refuse derived fuel (RDF) which is used for power generation.
