Employee Testimonials...

"I started off at Grundon as a temp in 2004, helping to launch a new service in the Technical Department. The launch was such a success that I became a permanent member of the team in order to run the service. The role was particularly interesting because of the vast array of responsibilities involved.

Over the years my confidence, experience and knowledge has grown with the support of my co-workers.

In 2009 I felt ready for a new challenge and was looking to broaden my experience further. I was lucky enough to earn a move over to the Contracts Department and am thoroughly enjoying my new role.

The Grundon family, as well as everyone who works here, should be very proud of what we are all achieving."

"Having worked for my previous employer for 17 years, my decision to join Grundon was not taken lightly. I was impressed with the Company’s professionalism and track record, and the balanced approach of the senior management team – learning from the past as well as looking ahead to the future.

The role as Depot Operations Manager at Banbury represented an opportunity for me to take responsibility for a single site and apply my experience in transport and logistics to develop the depot, as well as working closer to home. Every day is different in this busy, varied and challenging role, and most of the time I am glad I made the move!

Since joining Grundon in February 2008, I have personally experienced the Company’s willingness to invest in its people and I am looking forward to a long and happy career here."

"I find that because Grundon is a family company, you get treated as part of the family.

I have worked for the company since September 2001 and have had a few different roles before my current job - which involves supporting users across all of our depots and configuring new equipment to be used around the company. I built up to my current position by starting as a temp and then quickly becoming Contract Administrator then in June 2002 I became a member of the IT Department, and have built up my knowledge along the way.

The Company is currently providing financial support for me to attend college once a week, where I am taking the City & Guilds IT Practioner's System Support Level 3 course. I hope to repay Grundon for their support and encouragement by adding value to the business with my increased skills over the long career I have planned in IT."

"I am now in my 4th Year of working for Grundon. I started in the Invoicing Department as an administrator and had the opportunity to join the Credit Control Department, which I enjoy very much. On a daily basis I deal with the allocation of Cash & Bacs customer queries and liaising with colleagues & customers, which is a very exciting and challenging role.

Grundon offers excellent benefits and support. You're not just a number you are a person I am privileged to be a part of the company."

"I joined S Grundon (Ewelme) Limited in 1997 as a Weighbridge Operator at the Chievely Quarry. I was soon asked to become the Safety Rep and also took on a First Aider's role following a full training course. The Company recognised my interest in Health & Safety and also my hard work and commitment and I was soon promoted to Quarry Foreman.

My present position is Relief Quarry Manager covering all quarries, which I enjoy very much. I have Employing Manager responsibilities, which means that I can recruit, promote and deal with discipline and grievance issues, and I am looking to progress further within the Company in the future."

"Since starting at Grundon in 1983 as a mini-skip driver I moved within a year to drive a HIAB vehicle that is used for delivering green wheelie bins. The Company supported my training to obtain a LGV Class 2 licence, which enabled me to progress to driving ROLONOF vehicles, which I did for 10 years.

My ambition to drive an artic vehicle was realised when I gained my LGV Class 1 licence. This enabled me to drive all sorts of vehicles and I have now been driving an artic for the Technical Department for the past 2 years. During my 22 years with the Company I have seen many changes."
