🎁 Hounslow Highways proudly supports Christmas Appeal’s for The Salvation Army and Age UK. 🎁 We raised £276 through our annual Christmas raffle, thanks to the generous participation of our staff. With this money, we were able to buy new toys for The Salvation Army’s Christmas Present Appeal, and we are so proud to be supporting them again this year. 🧸 Over the years, millions of children and young people have benefitted from the gifts donated to this amazing charity. By providing new toys and games, we can bring some smiles to children’s faces during tough times and support this charity's essential work. We are also proud to once again support Age UK’s Christmas Card Appeal. In Hounslow, nearly 2,000 residents live alone in care homes, sheltered accommodation, and extra care facilities, sadly spending Christmas alone without family and friends. To brighten their day, we delivered signed Christmas cards with heartfelt messages for them to receive on Christmas Day. ✉️ Today, our brilliant Social Value team, Georgina Evans and Harpreet Kainth, personally delivered all our contributions to the Salvation Army and Age UK. We feel so proud to play a part in helping such important charities and making a difference in our community. ❤️ #HounslowHighways #makingadifference #charity #MakeADifference #FestiveFundraising London Borough of Hounslow

Hounslow Highways spread some festive cheer with our annual Christmas Jumper Day! 🎄 Yesterday, the team embraced the holiday spirit and kicked off the day with a Christmas raffle, raising an incredible £276.

Hounslow Highways recently conducted a one-day trial of the Kärcher MC 250 all-electric suction sweeper.   This environmentally friendly sweeper is powered by an advanced lithium-ion NMC battery system that reduces local CO2 emissions, aligning with our carbon reduction strategy. 🌍   The trial was a unique opportunity, as the sweeper was available in the UK for only three weeks. Hounslow Highways was fortunate to secure this innovative sweeper for a test run and operate it on several roads across the borough.   The Kärcher MC 250 is designed for efficiency, comfort, and sustainability. The noise level of the sweeper is pleasantly quiet not only in the cab for our operative, but also for residents in the immediate vicinity. It has a 2.5m³ waste container and can work at transport speeds of up to 60 km/h, thus suitable for covering long distances within the shortest time. Also, the vehicle has a suspended chassis and an ergonomic working area for the operators to ensure that they are comfortable.   This trial is one of the many ways that Hounslow Highways is incorporating new technologies that help enhance service delivery and conserving the environment and becoming fully electric! We’re excited to keep discovering innovative solutions and trialling new products to make our industry even better. Together, we hold the key to the future! 💚 #HounslowHighways #Electricfleet #Sustainability #Environment

It's great to see our students enjoying their work alongside us!! 😊

This National Tree Week, we are excited to have supported the London Borough of Hounslow's Environment Champions tree planting scheme with enthusiastic students from Springwest Academy. Together, we planted 400 tree saplings on the school's grounds! 🌳 This project not only aimed to beautify the school environment, but also to contribute to local biodiversity and improve air quality, creating a greener and more sustainable space for future generations to enjoy. Everyone actively participated in every aspect of the project, from digging holes and planting saplings to learning about the ecological benefits of their efforts. It was a fabulous opportunity for us to talk to the student about how trees capture and sequester carbon and help to reduce harmful emissions in the environment. Collaborating with the community in this way emphasises our commitment to fostering a strong sense of environmental stewardship among young people, while also making a tangible, positive impact on the area. We take pride in contributing to the creation of a more sustainable and healthier world ahead. 🌍 #HounslowHighways #NationalTreeWeek #Trees #Green #Arboricultural #Horticulture

The Hounslow Highways Annual Roadshow took place yesterday with all our staff present. The event is more than just a gathering; it's a vital part of our culture that brings us together to celebrate achievements, learn about Group direction and plan for the upcoming year as a team. 🎯 The roadshow gives us an opportunity to reflect on our performance, collaborative working partnerships, client and stakeholder relationships, reaffirm our H&S priorities and practices, and celebrate the milestones we've achieved along the way. As a team, we have accomplished so much over the past year, and we need reminding of that sometimes. 😊     - The delivery of the UK highways sector's first 26-tonne electric grab vehicle. - An increased investment in our electric vehicle fleet, which now comprises 23% electric vehicles and a goal to reach 50% by the end of 2025. - Conducting trials of the latest electric products, including a footway sweeper and gum removal machine. - Construction of a greenhouse at our depot where we’re planting from seed to plant on the network. - Ongoing enhancements to our community engagement initiatives. - Achieving a 99.6% compliance rate against contractual targets. - All the carriageway and footway schemes carried out to improve the network through a strong and trusted partnership with our Client. - Winning the Recognition Award at the West London Chambers of Commerce Business Awards 2024, (a huge highlight), Workplace in Bloom awards and the CITB Local Hero Award for Women in Construction.   A big thank you goes to Mitesh Solanki, Managing Director of Ringway, and Timothy Hurley, Service Director at RHH, for their presentations as they highlighted the values we work towards and the onward journey to creating safer road networks for all to enjoy. 👏 Thank you to everyone at Hounslow Highways - it's your dedication and enthusiasm which is the driving forces behind our success.
