🚀 What a week for Hargreaves Utility Group! 🚀

This week we’ve utilised all three companies within the Group, covering a fantastic range of work across the country. 💪🇬🇧

🔹 Coastline Safety Services — Monday & Tuesday in the North East at a hospital, undertaking a gas leakage survey. 🔥💨

🔹 SES Utilities — Wednesday in Basingstoke, carrying out a fire hydrant survey. 💧🚒

🔹 Derbyshire Fire and Safety — Today, up in the Peak District at a beautiful local church, carrying out lightning protection inspection works. ⛪️🦺

Friday is an office day catching up on paperwork, quotes and everything else that comes with running a busy group of companies! 💻📋

Then it’s time to switch off for a while… ✈️🌞🇬🇷

We’re heading back to Kefalonia for 7 nights! 🏝️🍹

After the workload we’ve had recently, we all need a bit of downtime and a chance to recharge the batteries. 🔋❤️

Then it’s back on duty, because the diary is already totally full for September and there are only a handful of slots left for October! 📅💪

It’s certainly busy — but happy days! 😁🙌

Yesterday was mostly spent travelling down to the South Coast, and today we’ve certainly made up the mileage!

Tomorrow we’re back on the road again, heading north to Huntingdon, then onwards to Fakenham in Norfolk. Where we’ll be staying tomorrow night? 🤔 Who knows! 😂 We’ll find somewhere when we get there!

📍 Thursday: Wisbech & Peterborough

💻 Friday: Back in the office preparing all the inspection reports — and, most importantly… the invoices! 💷😂

It’s certainly a lot of miles, early starts and long days, but it’s all part of delivering a professional nationwide service to our clients and ensuring their fire hydrant systems are inspected, tested and maintained to the required standards. 🔥💧✅

Another busy week for the team at SES Utilities — keeping the wheels turning and the hydrants working! 💪

🚧💧 Project Update | Fire Hydrant Infrastructure – Markeaton Park, Derby 💧🚧

Today we have been supporting HVL Solutions as they carried out the successful exchange of a fire hydrant on the fire hydrant system at Markeaton Park, Derby. 👷‍♂️🔧

Maintaining fire hydrant infrastructure is essential to ensure reliable water supplies are available for the Fire & Rescue Service in the event of an emergency. Following the installation, the hydrant was pressure tested and commissioned to confirm it was operating correctly and performing to the required standard. ✅💦

A great example of teamwork and professionalism, ensuring critical fire protection assets remain fully operational for the safety of the local community. Well done to everyone involved! 👏
