The long standing service and loyalty of the people who make up the Gantrail brand throughout the world is key to the ongoing success of the company. Like any business, they appreciate that a huge proportion of their success comes from the people within the organisation. The recently launched employee recognition scheme now focuses on Mr Mu and Mr Wang in Tianjin, China.

Speaking of this, Managing Director Malcolm Trigg said “Mr Mu and Mr Wang have both been with the company for 5 years and make a very valued contribution to our operation there. Both are employed in production and Mr Mu is the factory supervisor.”

Gantrail knows that one of the things that sets them apart from others in their field is the long standing service and loyalty of the people who make up their brand throughout the world. Like any business, they appreciate that with physical products aside, a huge proportion of their commercial success and continued development comes from the people within the organisation. And it is with this in mind that they have recently launched a new recognition scheme.

Speaking of this, Managing Director Malcolm Trigg said “The new scheme is one whereby we want to formally acknowledge the long service that our teams demonstrate. Loyalty is a key factor for us, and the relationships and expertise that develop throughout our teams, with customers, contractors, suppliers and partners alike are extremely valuable.”

The scheme recently launched with a presentation to Lyn Martin, Customer Services who celebrates 10 years with the company. Lyn was awarded a bouquet of flowers and a restaurant voucher by way of a thank you for the continued service and support that she has provided. Since starting with Gantry Railing Lyn has seen her role develop. Primarily acting as the bridge between the production and sales function, Lyn’s responsibilities have grown with increased involvement with IT operations and estimating. The diversity of her role is matched by her flexibility and broad knowledge base, making her a critical component of the Gantrail team.

Acknowledging the contribution that Lyn has made over the last 10 years Malcolm added “Lyn’s continued loyalty, energy and commitment to the company, her colleagues and our valued customers has been felt by all that have worked alongside her. Her drive and passion for the brand, even 10 years on is something that brings me absolute pride and I am delighted that we have been able to recognise the very positive impact that she has had on us all. Recognising the valuable contribution that Lyn and all others make every day, we know that it is in fact our people that are one of the key differentiators that our brand has and we will work hard to protect that.”

Speaking of her award Lyn said “I was delighted with this recognition – it underlines the reasons why I have stayed with the team here for so long. It is a superb place to work with a real sense of team spirit and shared vision. I would like to thank everyone that I work with for making the last 10 years such a pleasure.”

The team are just back from another successful trip to InnoTrans 2014 and are all agreed that it was an exceptionally worthwhile visit.

With the 2014 event held in Berlin, InnoTrans has become established as an international industry showplace focusing on Railway Technology. A full range of rail vehicles are presented in static displays on the Messe Berlin tracks located outside the exhibition halls. Other key InnoTrans features include Railway Infrastructure, Interiors (incl. Travel Catering & Comfort Services), Public Transport and Tunnel Construction.

Speaking of the visit Malcolm Trigg said “Whilst we don’t exhibit at this event we do visit attend each year as it provides a really good showcase for the very latest developments in this sector, whilst also allowing us the opportunity to meet with key suppliers and partners. Once again, I am in no doubt that the trip has been worthwhile and is now a firm fixture in our events calendar.”

Gloucestershire has once again played host to international delegation for the 2014 Gantry Railing Technical Meetings. “This years meeting has proved to be exceptionally worthwhile and has provided a superb forum for us to talk with our valued partners and technical teams.” says Malcolm Trigg, Managing Director.

Some 20 industry professionals have gathered in Gloucestershire to discuss the latest innovations and technical developments within the crane rail industry. The sessions have run across 2 days and covered a wide range of topics including product innovation, marketing and sales strategy, in-country trends and the application of new technologies.

Delegates came from across the partner network, from as far afield as Australia and America, China and throughout Europe. Commenting on the commitment shown from the delegates Malcolm continued “We are so proud of the partner network that we have established throughout the world, and it is our pleasure to be able to invite so many representatives to the UK, not only to share information, but also to take some time to thank them for their continued support.”

Upon a recent visit to China, Gantry Railing Managing Director Malcolm Trigg was invited to present to a team of 30 design engineers from ZPMC – a major player in crane manufacture. Accompanied by John Wang of Tianjin Ocean Mechanical Engineering – Gantry’s representative in China, Malcolm was able to provide a detailed presentation on rail systems for heavy port cranes, in particular the impact the emergence of large ship to shore cranes has had on existing systems.

Speaking of the meeting Malcolm said “It was a real honour to be invited to present to such a distinguished and well respected design engineering team. Opportunities such as these are really key for us and give a great platform to show, first hand, the depth and level of expertise and support that we can give to major projects and teams worldwide.”
