It was great to have our local MSP David Green up with us last week. It was great to see the understanding he is building as to the extent of the business contribution that comes from the North Highlands and how we can grow this for the future.

JGC is proud in the part we play in delivering into major markets, providing world-class engineering from the North of Scotland. We look forward to working with David and his parliamentary colleagues in creating conditions to allow us to grow on the success in the North Highlands.

My thanks to Stephen, Robbie and John at JGC Engineering & Technical Services Ltd for taking the time to share their experience with me this week. We need to shout about our Highland success stories and with JGC having delivered major projects at home and internationally they are certainly among them.

I was equally impressed to see their commitment to the county, not least their commitment to the wider supply chain and the number of apprentices they take on. It is up to politicians of all colours to ensure we listen and work alongside business to ensure we create the conditions for them to succeed.

The September winner of JGC’s best Opportunity For Improvement (OFI) award is Gordon Smith. Gordon is pictured receiving his certificate and voucher from Stephen Sutherland.

Gordon identified a significant cost-saving opportunity by reducing the amount of electricity supply meters we have across the facility. Combining several buildings onto one electricity supply will reduce fixed supplier charges. Gordon is also leading negotiations with the supplier to help turn his proposal into reality.

Our OFI (Opportunity For Improvement) of the month for August has been won by Jamie Mowat. Jamie is pictured receiving his certificate and voucher from Stephen Sutherland. Jamie raised a concern over our hand held radio’s we use for blind operation communications. He noticed that there was momentary third-party interference on the frequency, and operations were halted immediately. Wrong instructions could have resulted in a wrong operation being performed, stopping the work was the correct action to take. As a result of this we are now investigating dedicated frequency hand held radios to ensure this cannot happen again. Well done Jamie!

The July winner of JGC’s best Opportunity for Improvement (OFI) award is Alan Miller. Alan is pictured receiving his certificate and voucher from Stephen Sutherland.

Alan’s suggestion was to install a solvent recovery process in our paint shop. This improvement will greatly reduce the amount of spent thinners sent to special waste, lower the paint shops Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations risk rating and reduce operatives exposure to noxious fumes. It will also contribute to our business carbon reduction plan.

JGC apprentices Rachel Mathieson and Dino Miceli built this custom stand for the Caithness County Show Flower Committee, helping celebrate 60 years of the Flower Tent at the show.

A fantastic piece of work and a great example of apprentices using their skills to support the local community.

Well done to everyone involved, and congratulations to the Flower Committee on reaching this incredible milestone.

The June winner of JGC's best Opportunity For Improvement (OFI) award is Jamie Mowat. Jamie is pictured receiving his certificate and voucher from Alan Sutherland.

Jamie highlighted that when our new press brake and roll machine were installed, only a small number of operators received the training, as much of the team was on client sites. This OFI resulted in the trainer returning to deliver further training when more team members where available. The training has now been delivered, increasing the number of qualified operators and giving us more flexibility across our teams.
