SSE Stoke - Arch Fundfaising

PFI Team

Just an update on the final fundraising efforts of our Manager, Jim Huyton, who helped to raise a total of £3,700 for the Arch Charity. This has been further helped by the staff of the PFI team undertaking volunteer work as well. www.archnorthstaffs.org.uk

The Regent Theatre Lighting Project

PFI Team

SSE Contracting were pleased to be the principal contractor involved in the innovative public art lighting scheme at the Regent Theatre. The scheme plays with traditional theatre lighting and draws on the image of footlights to illuminate the front and sides of the fly-tower, all controlled by computer wizardry. The Regent Theatre - in particular its fly-tower - is one of the most visible landmarks in the city skyline. The public art scheme helps clearly identify the Regent Theatre as a major venue within the Cultural Quarter, promoting the Cultural Quarter as a vibrant contemporary place to work and visit particularly during twilight and evening hours. The state of the arts design uses LCD lighting which only requires a limited energy source. So not only does the scheme brighten up the city skyline but it’s also extremely energy efficient.

Charity Donation

As part of the ‘Make it Zero’ safety competition which awards and recognises excellent safety performance within Southern Electric Contracting, Stoke Lighting Services recently donated £750 each to the County Air Ambulance and Motor Neurone Disease Association after achieving more than 4 years of accident free working. Ben Sharpe, Corporate Fundraising Officer for MND thanked SEC for their donation. ‘Our work into care for those with MND or our research to bring us closer to our vision of a world free of MND could not continue without this kind of generosity.’ SEC New Business Manager Russell Anslow said “We are proud that our teams’ safe working has resulted in these gifts being made possible to such important charities.”(Pictures from Left to right: Claire Montford, SEC presenting the cheque to John Cookson from the County Air Ambulance and Russell Anslow, SEC presenting the cheque to Anita Mellor, SEC on behalf of the Motor Neurone Disease Association)

Let there be light

SEC was proud to be the principal contractor in lighting up Hanley Town Hall. More than 200 LED lights have been installed in this innovative lighting project to illuminate the Town Hall, a Grade 1 Listed Building. To mark the occasion, during the weekend of 26-28 September 2008 special events were held in Stoke-on-Trent to celebrate the national launch of the Cultural Olympiad. In Hanley, the Town Hall was lit up with 200 LED lights in the colours of the Olympic flag. The Cultural Olympiad is intended to be, as the founder of the modern Olympic movement Pierre de Coubertin once said, 'a wedding of sport and art'. So for the next four years until London 2012, cultural projects will be developed around the UK which are inspired by the Olympic spirit.

CONGRATULATIONS to Mrs J Henshall whose name was recently pulled out of the hat after voting on the Victoria Park Lighting Scheme. The preferred lighting was the 'Charleston' and this will shortly be installed on Victoria Park Road. Shown in the picture is Anita Mellor from SEC presenting Mrs Henshall with her prize of a DAB Radio.

Lovesong for the city

Mike Horsnall

Lamp posts were wrapped in reflective gold foil around Hanley Bus station to coincide with the submission for the Axis Music festival. Mike Horsnall, who organised the event said: "This was a project about Stoke on Trent as a whole. Also a note of humour was added by the way each post had a message e.g 'You are lovely'...'You are beautiful' this was in line with the overall aim which was in a way a compliment to a city which, though somewhat battered has a 'heart of gold'....hence the title of the project 'Lovesong for the city'"

Lovesong for the city

Mike Horsnall

Mike, who recently organised the wrapping of reflective gold foil around lamp posts surrounding Hanley Bus station commented on the professional approach of the SEC workforce: "I liked the way the operative was very helpful in the way he showed me the safety aspects of the day-harness etc for the cherry picker and how he was quietly in control of what happened or did not happen without being overtly directive. I was impressed with the way he took risk assessments seriously and seemed able to strike a good balance between considering the wider issues of safety and yet applying himself keenly to the doing of the task."
