Chigwell Complete Office Refurbishment - 04/01/2012

Chigwell Construction have completed their office refurbishment project allowing staff the use of brand new facilities including a fully equipped Medical Room which has its own dedicated Doctor. In the coming weeks they will be installing a DOC which is a new generation defibrillator that is the only one that notifies emergency services when in use, key staff will receive full training on how to use the new equipment. The staff are already putting the new gym to good use which has no doubt helped them to keep to their new years resolutions.

The new call centre has been set up with a high tech Mitel phone system with dedicated wall mounted screens showing Call Accountant 6 software which allows staff to see how many calls have been made inbound and outbound, this can be broken down by department and many reports can be run for different purposes. Another screen shows the Navman Vehicle Tracking system which allows staff to see where all Operatives are at any point of the day and The Impact Response Appointment System that shows all appointments made for their Responsive Repairs & Maintenance Department.
Chigwell Raise Money For Local Charity - 03/01/2012

Over Christmas, Chigwell Construction office staff raised £806.00 for Haven House Children's Hospice, a charity looking after children and their families in North and East London and West Essex.

Haven House provides a home from home experience for children and young people who have life-threatening conditions and who are unlikely to recover. They provide a range of services that include day, short break and end of life care, together with therapeutic play in the community. Families can find the support they need when they need it most at no cost to themselves.

Chigwell staff raised money by selling cakes, envelope donations, guess how many sweets in the jar, a raffle whereby the Managing Director donated a day off from work with pay for the winner and last but not least Richard was sponsored to have his pony tail cut off. Fun was had by all raising money for such a worthwhile cause.

Cat Finds Home With Chigwell - 23/12/2011

Adorable cat finds a new home with Chigwell Construction after being left in an empty property by one of Asra Housing Association's tenants.

The affectionate female tabby was saved by a member of Asra's staff who fed her daily until they could find her a new home. They asked us if we knew of anyone who could take her and we decided to let her stay here as the office cat. She arrived at our offices just before Christmas and has been recovering from her ordeal and we have decided to call her Asra.

Asra has had a full health check with the local vet and is in healthy condition. She has settlled in really well and is receiving lots of cuddles from the staff here at Chigwell.
