OUR STEEL ERECTORS are some of the best men working in the Barbadian construction industry, installing and fixing together the steel girders, pipework and beams that make up the framework of both local and regional buildings and structures. Without their dedication and strength, Structural Systems Ltd would not have a showcase of fine buildings which proudly stands on our landscape. The teams are headed by Jason Holder, who relies heavily on his very competent and experienced supervisory staff to execute all jobs efficiently and correctly. JASON HOLDER When I started working with the company in September 2010, I was hired by the then general manager Mr Andre Gibson for the position of erection manager. The Erection Department is a very dynamic department to say the least. We are the link that connects the product fabricated in the workshop to the client

out on-site; all of which has to be done in a timely manner. Meeting deadlines will always be a challenge, it takes a coordinated effort by team members and making sure everyone is on the same page to achieve such. This task cannot be achieved alone and special thanks must go out to the supervisors and team members of the department who undoubtedly do whatever it takes to get the job done. I myself will never forget having to fly to St Lucia in the small Williams Industries company glider; four people in a tuna with wings, laughs; no, but seriously. In comparison with most of the staff members I have the least number of years, so I would not have noticed vast changes in the way things are done since I was here. What I can say is that there is a constant drive with regard to improvement. Be it in the office or out in the field, management and general staff are constantly striving to improve work practices and by extension being as efficient as possible.

Structural Systems Ltd on a whole must be commended for being viable in an extremely competitive market. The reality that we face with regard to the economy is a harsh one. We can no longer afford the luxury to sit back and expect clients to fall in our lap. Given the current circumstances, we have proven that we can perform when met with a challenge, and I think that is

something we as a company should be proud of. As a manager, the vision I have for the company is growth. Growth as a company is fantastic. Not only to be recognised as the leading steel fabrication company in the island, but also in the region. Bringing this vision to reality will not be an easy one but I am confident we have the personnel that can take us there.
