“It’s extremely important to us that we are seen – and I believe that we are – as a good corporate citizen, not only for the region, but also for the state. We can always do more, but we’re very conscious of our place both within the community and the region.”

Looking Ahead

For the near future, Batchfire has its hands full with plans for increasing production levels and implementing the range of initiatives on its journey to Net Zero.

“We are investing in a new fleet of gear so that we have the best technology on site. This allows us to be more efficient, whilst also improving working conditions for our employees. After all, if you’re sat operating a truck, you’d rather be in a brand new one!”

But for Fidock, an entirely employee-centric outlook best defines Batchfire’s priorities in the years ahead, especially as the company is in the stages of recruiting more workers.

“As we are getting more and more employees on site, we want to become an employer of choice to ensure that they stay. It’s all about making people feel safe and secure, and rewarding them for their performance.”

As part of this, Batchfire is implementing extensive training and development plans at all levels. This includes supporting its frontline supervisors, to ensure that they continue to upskill and have the confidence to motivate their crews.

“Most importantly, we’re ensuring safety is a daily, ongoing priority,” Fidock adds. “We want our employees to return home uninjured each evening – perhaps just a little bit more tired than when they left for work!”

Drawing to a close, Fidock returns to the all-important notion of credibility, as the adhesive that binds the company‘s goals and ambitions with the people that can make them happen.

“We are now going through a process of looking to achieve targets that might not have been within reach previously, both in terms of production and a quality of output basis.

“We’re getting credibility with our workforce because we are achieving those targets – we’re showing that they’re not out of reach, and we are bringing them along with that journey. We want our employees to be proud of what they achieve on site.”
