NTA UK Award Winner, Medium Employer; Greyhound Plant Services
Plant Operators Dig Up New Talent
Greyhound Plant Services hires heavy plant machinery - bulldozers, excavators and the like - for various construction works including road building, land reclamation and flood defence.
Established in 1982 and based in Shropshire, the company has 243 staff and supplies major construction projects nationwide. Greyhound's business model is to supply both the machinery and a trained operator, while providing service, maintenance and transport. Thus, it is vital that the plant operators are properly trained to keep their customers both safe and happy.
In 2005, the company was not satisfied that its operators were all trained to the consistent standard that the company demanded. Whilst the company could vouch for the standards of training for those operators it had trained itself, this was not the case with others.
As a consequence they were suffering high staff turnover, with many operators leaving the business within a year. Employees lacked training and motivation, which was causing dissatisfaction among customers.
