Oxford Corridor Project Case Study
Ganymede was appointed by Network Rail as the primary labour supplier for the Oxford Corridor Project to help deliver a package of schemes and improve the Great Western Route.The Great Western route is being modernised to bring passengers faster, more frequent, more reliable services. As both passenger and freight traffic through Oxford continues to grow, Network Rail is delivering a package of schemes including re-signalling, track remodelling and upgrades to increase capacity, connections and route availability for passengers and freight operators.The previous principal contractor for the Oxford Corridor project went into liquidation in 2018, consequently jeopardising planned operations at the time. Without an effective solution, the potential impact would have been operational delays, increased project costs, mass workforce redundancies and failure to meet key strategic project milestones.The Solution:With the involuntary change in the contract landscape, Network Rail became the principal contractor and formed the Western Enhancement Delivery (WED) division and Ganymede was appointed by WED as the primary labour supplier for the project.To enable a smooth integration within the 21-day time frame, Ganymede needed to win the hearts and minds of the incumbent workforce who were in turmoil with the uncertainty surrounding their positions. Equally, it required the creation of a new account management / resource team who could implement robust resource plans to meet the intended skilled labour uplifts for the duration of the project but, namely to meet the non-standard blockade programmed in four weeks after the resource contract was taken over by Ganymede.Key Facts:Ganymede integrated an incumbent workforce of over 60 individuals, completed relevant compliance checks, developed a training programme and provided a fleet of vehicles including telematics and driver induction/training, all within the project’s tight timescale of 21-days.Ganymede helped to deliver four successful commissionings over three blockades for a new track layout and signalling system. The project included a mixture of track and civil works including track renewals, station refurbishment, piling and end wall construction, demolition, track formation and acoustic barrier installation. At peak we were regularly deploying and managing over 150 personnel at the project in Oxford.All works were delivered without any lost time accidents or incidents. Including the delivery of a major 21-day blockade that required a 150% uplift of resources.Following on from the Oxford Corridor Project, Ganymede continues to support Network Rail (WED) with resources on other projects.Value Added:An integrated Oxford delivery structure was created by key figures from Ganymede and Network Rail senior management team. The newly created dedicated account management team held a series of consultation events at the project depot. This helped allay any fears the project team had and introduced all the operatives to Ganymede. These events were pivotal in outlining the opportunities on the project, our plans as a business moving forward and the expectations from passengers.The programme involved a 21-day implementation time-frame for Ganymede to compliantly ensure the smooth integration of the incumbent workforce. Over 60 individuals were consulted and contracted to Ganymede resulting in no losses of any jobs. The Ganymede fleet department successfully sourced a large fleet of vehicles on to the project through our supply chain, ensuring business as usual from day one of the newly formed collaboration.As part of the staff transition / integration process and in preparation to the forthcoming planned blockade, we held a series of Safety Moment events. This enabled us to embed our safety culture, identify any skills gaps and develop a dedicated training programme.Fundamental to the blockade’s success, was the fact we ensured every shift had internal resource management or our safety team on site. Part of the process also included site update reports every 12 hours to the WED project team. The report outlined real time progress with information on planned work against programme, resource updates, safety close call reporting and resolution, safety status and potential contingency requirements.The ResultThrough a positive safety culture and a passionate resourceful attitude, the Oxford Corridor project was a major success. More importantly, all works were delivered without any lost time accidents or incidents, there were no overruns throughout the life of the project and all the works were delivered on time and within budget.Following on from the success of the Oxford Corridor Project, Ganymede continue to support the WED project team with resources for their ongoing projects.“As you know we completed what we can only be described as a significant piece of work in the Oxford area. We delivered a major milestone in the project successfully and with very few real issues. The professionalism on the WED team has been excellence and the attitudes great. I’m really proud of what we have all achieved as a team and am really grateful to you all. On the Whole I’ve been really impressed with the Ganymede team in taking on the mantel since Carillion’s demise and supporting Network Rail with the continued delivery of the Oxford project. I’ve found everybody in Ganymede has wanted to help an support that delivery and resolve any issues quickly. You should all be really proud of this team, well done and thank you.” Senior Programme Manager, Western Enhancements Delivery – Network RailGet in TouchUse the form below to contact us today about how we can add value to your business.

Reflections and Insights: A Year in the World of Energy Recruitment

In this interview, Zach shares insights into his motivations, challenges, and triumphs in his first year with the company. Join us as we explore his path and the joys he finds in energy recruitment.What was it about this opportunity that made you want to join the team?Before I joined recruitment, I was a window fitter however I have always loved the idea of getting into recruitment as a few of my friends are in the industry, and upon reading about Ganymede, I thought they would be a great company to work for. I completed some extensive research into the energy industry prior to joining the team, and it gave me a great insight as to how many different avenues there were to explore when coming on board with the team, which gave me the reassurance that there would always be a high demand for engineers, meaning more placements to be made. How did you find the interview process?Amazing! From start to finish the communication was always great and the team always made me feel comfortable throughout. How have you found your first 12 months?Thoroughly enjoyable! Although they have absolutely flown by, I feel like I am still learning every day. Of course, you have your better and worse days in recruitment. However, from the moment I walked through the door, I was welcomed with open arms and went straight into my training with Amy, which was helpful as it laid down the foundations for everything that I would need to know to be successful in the role. What is your favourite part of your job?I have truly appreciated the welcoming atmosphere of the team and the exceptional working environment, which I consider the best I've experienced. And, of course, I would be lying if I didn't mention my appreciation for the financial aspect, where the effort you personally invest is directly reflected in the commission you can earn.We are always keen to speak to talented recruiters and sales professionals, who are looking to take the next step in their career.

Ganymede’s Commitment to Sustainability in 2024
Ganymede’s Commitment to Sustainability in 2024Delve into Ganymede's commitment to sustainability as we review the accomplishments of 2023 and outline the upcoming goals for 2024. Participate in a discussion with Gary Lobue, Head of HSEQ, and Richard Pearson, Fleet & Sustainability Manager, as they illuminate the critical sustainability pillars: environment, economy, and society. This blog aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how Ganymede Solutions not only prioritises emission reduction but also actively fosters empathy throughout its supply chain.In what ways do Ganymede create commitment to sustainability? Ganymede has recognised how significant a role sustainability will play in our future. Every supply tender we complete includes a dedicated section specifically covering sustainability and social value. In every situation, we must promise to do our best to lower emissions. We must also promise to treat our employees with kindness and fairness. Additionally, we should expect the same from our suppliers.What are the biggest achievements of 2023 for Sustainability for Ganymede?The most significant achievement in 2023 was the Board's recognition that sustainability required a new level of focus and resources to move forward effectively. This recognition led to the expansion of Richard's role to Fleet & Sustainability Manager.What are the plans for sustainable development for Ganymede for 2024?The business has committed to the Science Based Targets Initiative, a global program supported by the United Nations and the Worldwide Fund for Nature. This initiative will assist us in establishing a clearly defined path to reduce emissions in alignment with the goals of the Paris Agreement and, ultimately, achieve Net Zero. Currently, we are compiling our baseline figures for 2023 and plan to submit our long-term strategy in the next few months.What are the benefits of sustainable practices in business?Sustainable practices help the environment by reducing greenhouse gases and waste that cannot be recycled. However, sustainability comprises three crucial pillars: Environment, Economic, and Social Sustainability.Social Sustainability focuses on assessing how the business influences individuals, whether they are clients, employees, sub-contractors, or members of the public. The goal is to improve people's health and happiness, which the business has been focused on for many years. Whether through the implementation of Agile Working or the introduction of Supplier Forums, all efforts contribute to enhancing our collective growth without compromising mental health. Richard, what measures have you taken to ensure the organisation's fleet is environmentally sustainable?"While there is a collective push towards using alternative-fuelled vehicles such as electric and hydrogen, the operational requirements of our clients sometimes hinder wholesale changes. Although our company car policy has transitioned to 100% electric, our dependence on diesel-fuelled commercial vehicles persists. Consequently, we dedicate considerable effort to exploring innovations that can help manage the fleet more efficiently and reduce fuel consumption.In addition to optimising vehicle utilisation, the most significant impact on emissions reduction lies in managing the way vehicles are driven. To address this, we have made substantial investments in a telemetry system. This system not only enables us to track our vehicles but also identifies areas for improvement in each driver's actions, allowing us to provide coaching that fosters positive behaviour changes.Exploring new diesel alternatives is also part of our strategy. Some promising options could enable us to maintain our current fleet while achieving emissions reductions of up to 90%.Currently, the most viable option is Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), essentially recycled cooking oil. Although available in volumes that support the switch, it is not widely accessible at filling stations and typically requires bulk purchases. We are actively collaborating with our clients and supply chain to find ways to implement this change in the future."Gary, as head of HSEQ, how are Ganymede employees encouraged to actively participate in promoting a culture of safety and sustainability?"We are committed to being a responsible and dedicated company, aligning with Network Rail's sustainable procurement principles. Our goal is to integrate our safety vision consistently with these principles, ensuring proactive measures are taken.Our vision for Health, Safety, and Wellbeing prioritises the protection, safety, and respect for all individuals involved in our industry, encompassing construction, maintenance, operational activities, and the public. This collective approach contributes to a sustainable future.Core principles such as 'doing no harm' and 'doing some good' are values we seek to promote across the entire company and workforce. As a business, we are dedicated to embedding these principles and processes into our safety, quality, and environmental management systems. Regular reviews and updates are crucial to align with our vision of a sustainable future.To eliminate waste and promote safety, we have implemented proactive initiatives, reducing the impact on human resources due to accidents and illness. Our ongoing commitment is to prioritise the health and wellbeing of our operatives, supported by our HSEQ and HR Management teams. Internal engagement regarding sustainability understanding is a top priority for our business.We strive to follow and promote good sustainability practices, ensuring our activities are sustained without adverse impacts on the community, environment, or global society. Additionally, we are dedicated to advising our clients on sustainable practices within their own organisations.Recognising the importance of improving sustainability in environmental and social performance, we ensure our workforce receives information, briefings, and training to comprehend the entire subject. Our company induction is being enhanced to include this topic, and we are developing an e-learning module for online accessibility. We are also exploring the creation of a simple acronym, SWEEP, to cover policies for each Environmental and Sustainable Development focus area, making it easy to remember."Find out more about a career with Ganymede today.
