Extending Our Expertise
At Woodway, we’re always looking for ways to grow and improve, and 2024 has been a year of extending our expertise across the board.
Our Installation Team has been hard at work equipping and converting specialist vehicles for emergency use while also enhancing their skills. This year, all Installation Operatives achieved IMI Level 2 Qualification for Electric/Hybrid Vehicle Routine Maintenance Activities, ensuring we’re ready for the future of emergency vehicle technology.
We’ve also invested in developing our wider team, with 9 colleagues from production, sales, and engineering completing a certified training course in basic electrical knowledge and workplace health and safety.
We are pleased to share that we’ve strengthened our expertise by welcoming eight new faces to the Woodway team in a range of roles, each bringing valuable skills and experience. Please welcome:
- Leo: Production Operative
- Faye: Financial Controller
- Law: Service Engineer
- Monika: Warehouse Operative
- Andy: Operations Manager
- William: Junior Installation Technician
- Tom: Mechanical Design Engineer
- Amanda: Head of Marketing
Together, these efforts ensure that we’re equipped to continue delivering the very best products, services, and solutions to our customers.
Giving Back
This year, we introduced the Woodway Tuck Shop, providing drinks and snacks for our colleagues when those mid-shift cravings strike (a lifesaver when you’re nestled in acres of beautiful countryside!). But it’s more than just a treat – the tuck shop has helped us give back, raising:
- £100 for Myton Hospice
- £100 for our local Air Ambulance
Thank you to everyone who supported this initiative – your munchies have made a real difference.
Looking Ahead
As we wrap up 2024, we’re excited about what the new year holds. With fresh challenges and opportunities on the horizon, we remain committed to delivering innovative products, expert services, and the dedicated customer support you know and love.
From all of us at Woodway, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
