What do you do when the message changes?

Written by

It’s fair to say that there is a lot of information flying around right now. The government and health service are reacting daily to COVID-19 and their moves are being tracked and monitored by the nation.

As instructions change, information regarding those changes needs to be relayed quickly and efficiently.

Enter MVIS

From their control centre at MVIS HQ, MVIS utilise their web studio to rapidly change key messages across the UK as and when needed.

Whether that’s journey time information, notifications of roadworks, or in what may well prove to be the case, how to stay safe in the pandemic we find ourselves experiencing.

Static signs just can’t react as quickly as centrally controlled VMS units, meaning key information could be missed.

When you think about it, it really isn’t worth the risk.

Spreading the message

All MVIS VMS units can be deployed to assist Highways England, the government and the general public.

Whether it’s the VMS-A in a city environment, or on a major motorway or A-road with their VMS-C, MVIS can spread the word, and change the message when needed at the push of a button.

Their range of trailer mounted, solar-powered variable message signs means MVIS can display live information to the public, adapting to a constantly changing situation via their web-based portal.

Messages can be programmed remotely, without the need to attend site and display current updates within seconds.

Requiring no external power source and operating silently, MVIS’ LED signage has been proven to have maximum impact in the highways and events industries.

COVID-19: Stop the spread

Currently, as COVID-19 is so prevalent, MVIS is working in support of government agencies to spread the ‘stay safe, stay at home’ message.

Units across the country are displaying a variety of messages to assist with getting the message across, based on government-issued guidelines on the current Coronavirus epidemic.

These adaptable VMS units can respond to the latest government guidelines as they are released, with remote management from MVIS’ Web Studio facilitating rapid response.

Change the message, keep the culture

MVIS is renowned for its level of service and their strong company culture. Now more so than ever, this culture and the values held within it is crucial.

MVIS has a 24/7 response line, ready to react to emergency needs and deliver on short notice. However, this isn’t on a whim whilst taking risks. The company are accredited to ISO9001:2015 as well as both ISO14001:2015 and ISO45001:2018 so have a proven track record when it comes to safety and quality management.

In the current pandemic, MVIS delivers with additional social distancing protocols amongst other processes to protect their workforce amidst this unprecedented situation we find ourselves in.

MVIS General Manager Anne Ashman spoke to us about MVIS’ role in making sure messages are changed promptly and effectively:

“Our units always carry important information. Whether that’s roadworks information or journey time solutions.

“These messages can change at any time, and we have to be able to respond.

“The challenge we now face as a country means that we may have more units displaying non-highways related messages than ever – yet the importance of these messages may actually be increased.

“Our government needs help, and the public needs to play their part. Using our units to reinforce key safety messages in order to combat the spread of coronavirus is vitally important and we’re proud that as a team we can step up and help.”

As the COVID-19 Pandemic continues to sweep across the world, companies in the UK are taking on more and more responsibility to prevent further spread.

Going above and beyond are MVIS, who are taking major steps both in-house, and outside of the office to spread the right message, and culture towards containing COVID-19.

Whilst it’s business as usual where possible in these testing times, the company is making adaptations to keep all safe and well throughout the situation we all now face.

As some MVIS staff are now working from home, the company has seen that they have some of the essentials to prevent the further spread of coronavirus.

Anne Ashman, MVIS General Manager told us:

“Don’t forget your staff at home and invest in safeguarding them – they are still your responsibility during working hours even if they’re not in the office.

“We’ll do all we can to keep our people safe.”

Marketing Manager Sean Brown added:

“I feel very lucky to work for a company that cares in this climate. Hats off and thanks to our senior management team at MVIS Ltd and Bartco UK for such a caring act. All staff are very grateful for this gesture.”

COVID-19 Update – MVIS & Bartco UK

Written by

MVIS Ltd and Bartco UK are monitoring the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak closely and its impact on our customers, suppliers, staff and their families.

We have put measures in place to limit the spread of the virus and protect all our staff. Due to this several of our staff are now currently working from home.

The business has implemented a contingency plan to be able to continue the supply of our services and products to our much-valued customers and answer all enquiries in a timely manner.

Therefore, at present it is business as usual to ensure we are able to supply VMS units to the much needed areas to give out the information the public needs.

Our position, and therefore this statement, will be updated as per government and the World Health Organisation updates.

MVIS Celebrates Female Team Members on International Women’s Day

Written by

Never forgetting the importance of any of our team members, MVIS and Bartco UK do not shy away from an excuse to celebrate our wonderful team – and International Women’s Day 2020 offers us such an excuse. To celebrate, we will be shining a spotlight on our team by looking at the amazing and professional example that the women who work here set for women everywhere.

Anne Ashman, General Manager of both MVIS and Bartco UK is the force that keeps things running smoothly. Serving a central role in helping to build both companies from very early days, Anne has achieved a great deal in the almost 9 years she has dedicated to the group. Anne prioritises safety and customer service above all else, with a firm belief that training and looking after her staff will get the most out of them. As a result, MVIS and Bartco UK boast one of the most well-trained workforces in the industry and the team largely has Anne to thank for the opportunity, support and encouragement to be in this position. Whilst working full time, Anne also completed a business degree in 2019, demonstrating incredible commitment and hard work.

Bartco UK’s Purchasing and Stock Control Supervisor, Rebecca Prince, has risen through the ranks at Bartco UK, starting as an apprentice with the group back in 2015, and in a short space of time she has risen to not only supervising her own department, but to also being a mentor and supervisor of staff herself, helping others through their apprenticeships. Along with Anne, Bec is a Mental Health First Aider for both MVIS and Bartco UK, being a friendly and welcoming face to anyone who is struggling with their mental health at the group.

 

Mizzy Watson’s role with MVIS makes her the ‘face of the company’ to many clients and customers, working as an Operations and Customer Service team member and she remains professional yet friendly at all times. In 2020, Mizzy will be undertaking a work related ‘white collar boxing’ event for charity. Just the training for this event is tough, let alone the public nature of the event itself, making her worthy of a special shout out for her bravery.

Having joined MVIS at only 16 years old in 2016, Tillie Woolliscroft started her time here in Operations and Customer Service, working well with our team in the field and customers alike. Being promoted to Marketing Assistant in 2019, Tillie is now training in marketing skills to help the company transition from agency management to in-house marketing. During her time here, Tillie has gone on to not only complete her apprenticeship, but to also win Learning Unlimited Intermediate Apprentice of the Year Award in 2018.

Last but certainly not least, Pip Wood works alongside Bec for Bartco UK as Purchasing and Stock Control Apprentice, whilst studying towards her Business Administration qualification. Joining the company in 2019, Pip has taken to her role with vigour and enthusiasm we see her confidence and capability grow each day. Since a workspace restructure, the main office has got to see much more of Pip in recent months and the working environment is much better off for it; so much so that she received multiple nominations for her award of Employee of the Month in February 2020.

It’s safe to say that both MVIS and Bartco UK have every reason to celebrate the women that make a fundamental part of our team.

Happy International Women’s Day 2020!

MVIS Proudly Collect ISO Accreditations

Written by

Presented by Christopher Moores, the Operations Director at NQA, Anne and Dom proudly received the certificates at the event, giving the MVIS and Bartco UK team the recognition we deserve for this accomplishment.

Christopher Moores, Anne Ashman, Dom Bridge

Anne Ashman, Group General Manager, commented, “Collecting these certificates marks a huge achievement for the whole team at MVIS and Bartco UK. Understanding the importance of being re-certified in all 3 standards was a value shared by all our staff, who have seen the impact it can have on the company, our growth and our future. Over the 3 years since we obtained our first ISO certification, we have continuously improved our systems, providing higher service levels than ever before. Our team continue to offer customers quality service, safety compliance and environmentally responsible business practices.

The 5 reasons High-Speed expertise provides a safer, more efficient road network

Written by

MVIS prides itself on keeping Britain moving.

From major motorways and A-roads to inner-city and urban environments, MVIS has developed a reputation for both quality products and outstanding service.

Often working in collaboration with Highways England, MVIS has become a trusted asset when it comes to the delivery of safe, efficient VMS and ITS products and solutions onto the UK’s roads.

As the company has continued to deliver and further its stellar reputation, MVIS has become more involved in the preparation phase of major schemes.

The company provides expert consultation for key upgrades in relation to the VMS and ITS elements of works, including where units will be positioned, how many are needed and how to make the most of the allocated units to provide maximum efficiency in relation to traffic flow, whilst also delivering the optimum level of safety for the road user.

 

Focusing on the high-speed road network, here are 5 reasons why MVIS is the choice for any high-speed scheme of work:

  1. Expertise & Longevity

MVIS has extensive high-speed knowledge dating back to 2012 and its first schemes on the M4 and M5.

MVIS has provided VMS units to a number of high-profile, high-speed schemes ever since. These schemes include:

  • M1 J16-J19, J23a-J25, J28-J35a, J39-J42
  • MSM M60
  • M27 J4-J11
  • M62 J10-J12
  • M20 SMP
  • M23
  • Oldbury Viaduct
  • A14 IDT

2. ISO accreditations

When deciding on who to deliver a key scheme, quality needs to shine through.

Buying into ‘Aim for Zero’ MVIS has had zero incidents of near-misses or injury in its 8-year history, and that exemplary record can be attributed to an attitude towards safety and quality that is ingrained within the company.

This ethos is rubber-stamped with a number of ISO accreditations that leave no doubt as to what you’re getting when you bring MVIS into a job and onto a scheme.

The company ISO accreditations include ISO45001: Occupational Health & Safety, ISO9001: Quality Management Systems, as well as ISO14001: Environmental Management Systems.

3. Training for on-site work

The MVIS approach to training is continuous and has a number of key elements:

  • MVIS staff fully trained as hiab and slinger signalers for delivery, installation and removal.
  • Fully health and safety trained staff. Internally, MVIS has a programme of Health and Safety training that is ongoing for every operative, in addition to externally completed health and safety training to ensure quality across the board.
  • CSCS: Depending on their role on site, MVIS workforce is all on site with the appropriate and relevant CSCS card. Even the management team are CSCS qualified so they can visit the site to carry out essential auditing.

4. Fleet size

The MVIS fleet size supporting their high-speed capabilities is vast, with 192 of their VMS-C units currently in the fleet.

Due to current demand, another 30 are to be added by the end of Jan 2020.

5. Solar IP unit

The Solar IP supports MVIS’ high-speed operation by providing an environmentally friendly ITS solution.

The versatility of the Solar IP makes it perfect for high-speed work, using Solar IP and any combination of VMS, ANPR, CCTV, radar or contactless sensor. If things change, Solar IP can be quickly and easily reconfigured to meet the immediate requirement.

Trust MVIS

With such expertise, accredited quality, as well as in-depth training, a vast fleet and a versatile product range – why wouldn’t MVIS get the call?

Future of Safer Roadworks

Written by

by Graeme Lee

High speed roads are extremely dangerous environments in which to undergo construction projects. Often, in certain conditions, on-site workers and motorists are left vulnerable to high speed traffic that could cause serious damage if not managed correctly. Such conditions may occur in the egress from a highway construction project, with heavy plant and construction vehicles merging into live traffic.

Traditionally, temporary static road signs have been used to warn on-coming drivers of the potential that works traffic may be merging from a construction zone. However, despite these signs, merging construction traffic accidents still occur and work zone traffic safety remains an on-going issue for site planners and drivers alike.

works traffic merging sign

While static egress signs do inform the motorist that works vehicles may be merging into live traffic, they do not give live information, and can easily be ignored.

Sign blindness poses a very real risk on the network, with construction zones that occur frequently and for lengthy stretches, and as drivers become fatigued with the same colours and shapes the more they see them.  

Developed by sister company Bartco UK, MVIS offer a solution that can help mitigate these issues. The Works Egress Safety Solution is available for hire from MVIS to help notify drivers when works traffic is exiting a work zone onto the main carriageway. Offering a safer and more robust solution than alternatives, this innovative autonomous system integrates a number of our products into a solar powered ITS safety solution designed specifically for this application.

Comprising of an HD Compact, VMS-A and two vehicle sensors, this surprisingly simple solution offers an incredibly effective vehicle activated approach. The sensors are located at the start of the acceleration zone in the works area, with the HD Compact informing the driver to ‘WAIT HERE’

On the main carriageway, a VMS-A is deployed to warn high speed traffic that works traffic may be merging. Upon being triggered by the sensors, the HD Compact changes from its default message ‘WORK EGRESS – WAIT HERE’, to ‘MERGE WHEN SAFE’, depending on the specific requirement.

At the same time, the VMS-A is also activated, displaying a warning message such as ‘WORKS TRAFFIC MERGING FROM RIGHT’, warning drivers ahead of time that works traffic will be merging onto the carriageway. After a set time has passed, the HD Compact reverts to its ‘WAIT HERE’ message and the VMS-A goes blank, reducing unnecessary signage and ensuring that the VMS-A has maximum impact for drivers when it is needed.

MVIS Help with Mock Interviews

Written by

As a fantastic way to start our 2020 community outreach activities, MVIS took part in an interesting annual initiative run by Highfields School in Matlock. Being local to us, we were more than happy to assist with such a forward-thinking project, which no doubt helps shape the children of Matlock into employable and successful young adults at the incredibly important time of Year 11.

The initiative was to deliver mock job interviews for the children. Highfields School looked to businesses and organisations from around the area to send professionals to conduct the interviews, giving the Year 11s a chance to take part in an interview-styled experience that they could benefit from. As well as interviewing the children, business representatives were encouraged to offer advice on good interview technique to pupils as opportunities presented, providing them with a very real opportunity to grow and learn from the experience.

Despite interviewing a few children each, the professional participants were given plenty of time to interview properly, ensuring that the Year 11s had the best possible opportunity to learn. A representative from the school told us, “I was speaking with a group of girls who took part and they said that it really helped them, as they all had college interviews next week.  A few said they were nervous but once they had got through the interview, they came out relieved and smiling. Two students told me it even made them think about their life to-date and they found the interview very helpful.”  

MVIS, and sister company Bartco UK, highly values our good relationship with Highfields School. Being a business local to Matlock, we had enough of a stake in the development of Matlock’s youth to make this worth doing; as an employer who has taken on many apprentices from Highfields School in the past, there is a fair chance that in future we may end up even recruiting some of the children who took part in this. Indeed, members of our team themselves took part in the same initiative as Highfield School pupils only a few years ago.

We thank Highfields School for the opportunity to be part of this exercise and we look forward to taking part again next year.

Celebrating Apprentices During National Apprenticeship Week 2020

Written by

As an employer that highly values our apprentices, we are taking the opportunity during National Apprenticeship Week 2020 to shine a spotlight on the members of our team who have come to us as apprentices over recent years and celebrate what they have achieved since. MVIS and sister company Bartco UK boast an impressive record of staff retention, and few areas demonstrate this as well as the retention rates in our apprentices, with all but one who has entered our doors over the years choosing to stay with us.

Our longest standing apprentice, Dom Bridge came to MVIS all the way back in 2013 and has since progressed to play an integral part in our organisation as Assistant Operations Manager. Dom’s daily role sees him managing the operations team, making sure that products are quality approved, delivered and deployed to clients in a timely manner for their project’s success. Due to the importance of his role, Dom works closely with the MVIS management team, reporting on vital figures and planning ahead to ensure that our resources are allocated effectively to meet our customer’s present and future needs. Dom also played a central role along with the management team to achieve our ISO Integrated Management System, helping MVIS obtain accreditations (and then recertifications) in ISO 45001 Health and Safety, ISO 9001 Quality and ISO 14001 Environmental Management. On top of this, Dom also recently took a leading role in MVIS passing the Achilles accreditation. 

Next to start the organisation as an apprentice was Rebecca Prince, who joined Bartco UK as a Business Administration apprentice in 2015 and quickly progressed in the company to her current role as Purchasing and Stock Control Supervisor. Bec’s role within the organisation helps to keep things moving smoothly, ordering stock and components that facilitates the manufacture of our products. As a highly capable, reliable and diligent member of staff, it seems only fitting that Bec now supervises an apprentice herself, Pip Wood, as she completes her apprenticeship.

Shortly after Bec, George Sheldon also started at Bartco UK in 2015 after studying electrical engineering. George has since completed his apprenticeship in 2019, seeing him progress within the company to the role of Workshop Technician. His day to day activities see him producing and refurbishing our units, as well as preparing them to be delivered to customers. George’s already extensive knowledge has grown as a result of additional training courses he has undertaken during his time at Bartco UK, offering him the chance to develop his career skills. George has a lot to take pride in with regards to his apprenticeship, being named as a finalist in the 2018 Learning Unlimited Advanced Apprentice of the Year category.

Tillie Wolliscroft joined MVIS in 2016 as an apprentice with previous experience in customer service, putting her in good stead for her role as Operations Apprentice, working alongside Dom, as he also completed his apprenticeship. Since completing her apprenticeship, Tillie has advanced her skills tremendously, moving into the organisation’s newest department, marketing. Assisting Marketing Manager, Sean Brown, with the transition from agency marketing management to in-house management, Tillie has been developing marketing related skills such as graphic design, social media management, web development and SEO. Whilst Tillie has progressed enormously in the meantime, her apprenticeship is not one that will soon be forgotten, having won the Learning Unlimited Intermediate Apprentice of the Year Award in 2018.

Shortly following Tillie into the organisation was Cain Gregory, one of Bartco UK’s Technical apprentices. Cain has come on leaps and bounds professionally during his time here, with his first exposure to the company being through his work experience. We were so impressed with Cain’s talent and work ethic that we very quickly asked him to stay, with him joining our apprenticeship programme in 2017. As part of his role, Cain builds, repairs and refurbishes our units, making sure that our customers receive high quality and reliable products. On top of his apprenticeship, Cain is also busy training himself up in work related skills, having earned an impressive number of qualifications that include first aid, soldering, hand powered tool operating, fork-lift operating, health & safety awareness, working at height as well as his CSCS and Highways England Passport cards.

Pip Wood joined the Bartco UK team in early 2019 as a Purchasing Assistant, working alongside Bec in her role as Purchasing and Stock Supervisor. Under the supervision of Bec, Pip helps to maintain stock records, completing orders and monitoring that product components arrive with enough time for the production team to perform regular quality checks. Pip shows great ambition and capability in everything she does, quickly learning the intricacies of the role and proving a big help for Bec. Very much the ‘Bartco UK way’, Pip is also dedicated to her skills development, taking on fire warden and manual handling training during her apprenticeship.

Last but certainly not least is Bartco UK’s newest Technical Apprentice, Jacob Spencer. With a real determination to work hard and learn, Jacob is perfectly suited to his role with us, allowing him to stay busy doing what he loves. Despite his short time here, Jacob has already started upskilling himself, having achieved his manual handling qualification. Jacob looks forward to continuing to develop his skills set with the support and encouragement of everyone at the organisation.

It’s clear that both MVIS and Bartco UK have a successful history in recruiting, training and then retaining apprentices, testament to what can be achieved when employers take care of and support their staff. All the apprentices that have come through either MVIS or Bartco UK’s doors have been given the encouragement and space to develop their skill set, making them more proficient in their roles, but also giving them immense job satisfaction.

We cannot recommend the recruitment of apprentices enough to employers looking for hard working and dedicated staff who are working towards upskilling. But we especially need to shine a spotlight on this during National Apprenticeship Week.

MVIS and Bartco UK want to take this opportunity to thank our apprentices, both past and current, for all their hard work.

For more information about our apprentice programme, please contact us on 01629 580 570 or email sales@m-vis.co.uk.

MVIS and Bartco UK recertify ISO accreditations

Written by

MVIS and Bartco UK are proud to announce the recertification of our ISO accreditations in quality (9001:2015), environmental management (14001:2015), and health & safety (45001:2018).

Issued and audited by global certification body NQA, ISO accreditations enforce the practise of and adherence to well-known and respected business standards that help organisations perform better in a wide range of aspects. For MVIS and Bartco UK, the standards of quality (9001:2015), environmental management (14001:2015) and health & safety (45001:2018) are of critical importance to our business, making recognition of these facets in our business operations a highly aspirational goal for us and furnishing us with a full IMS (integrated management system), integrating our systems and processes into one complete framework.

Our quality certification (9001:2015), assures clients that our products and services meet industry requirements. As a very important factor when it comes to equipment such as ours that promotes safety, clients look to MVIS and Bartco UK for reliable and effective products that not only tick all the boxes in their offering, but also have the ISO accreditation in quality behind them.

As an ITS solutions group, we work closely with the Highways and Traffic Management industries to deliver our solutions and products across the whole of the UK. Having such close ties to these industries, our environmental impact is of great importance to our Corporate Social Responsibility strategy.. By working with a company that has obtained this accreditation, clients can rest assured that the company their required ITS solution came from is improving their sustainability through increasingly efficient use of resources and reduction of waste.

The health & safety accreditation, (45001:2018), completes our IMS in an area that doesn’t just demonstrate our commitment to our customers, but also to our staff. With its focus on employee safety and the safety of working environments, this standard is perhaps one of our most important, helping us conform to safety standards that keep our staff safe. Due to the nature of work undertaken by many of our team across highways, vehicle management, crowd safety and construction, the safety of our staff and others is paramount in transporting and deploying our units. Staff, customers and even pedestrians can all be safe in the knowledge that our products have been manufactured and deployed with safety in mind.

Having already earned these ISO accreditations over the past few years, MVIS and Bartco UK are subject to audits by NQA that sees us reviewed on these aspects annually and fully reviewed every 3 years to ensure that we are in keeping with standards as time goes on. It is with immense pride that both MVIS and Bartco UK can say they have had their ISO accreditations renewed, demonstrating our commitment to procedure, safety and compliance yet again.

Anne Ashman, Group General Manager, commented, “This is a “pat on the back” for everyone who works at MVIS & Bartco UK. The whole team understand the importance of re-certification of all 3 standards and the impact it has on both company’s future and continual growth. Since first gaining ISO certification 3 years ago the companies have continually improved systems and aimed even higher on service levels to ensure our customers get a quality service from MVIS and Bartco UK”.

Rest In Peace Jordan Sinnott

Written by

On 25th January 2020, MVIS Ltd received some very sad news from Matlock Town Football Club, where MVIS Ltd sponsor the home and away shirts. Midfielder, Jordan Sinnott, had died after a tragic incident on a night out in Retford. Tributes have been led by Matlock Town FC and his former club Alfreton FC.

Matlock Town FC commented on the tragedy, “We are very sorry to report that Jordan Sinnott has passed away just before 7pm this evening. His family and friends were with him at his bedside and we send our sincere condolences to them all at this very sad time. We understand from the Police that following a serious assault in Retford town centre yesterday evening Jordan was found unconscious with a suspected fractured skull. He was taken to hospital where he was treated for the injuries and put on a life support machine.”

Jordan was a talented player and a rising star, scoring a hat trick in Matlock Town’s recent game against Basford United. But more importantly, he was a son, a friend, a teammate and an idol, who leaves many loved ones behind to mourn his loss.

Games at the weekend and midweek were cancelled by Matlock Town FC as a mark of respect to Jordon, with a minute’s silence to be held at other local games.

Anne Ashman, General Manager commented, “Our hearts go out to his family, friends and supporters in what can only be described as a tragic and senseless loss of life and talent, we continue to support the club thorough these tragic times, where he is mourned by fans”.
