There
are a myriad of chemicals and equipment now available
to us. Proud Industrial is not linked to any one product
and is able to choose the system that best gets the
job done. We evaluate and develop techniques to ensure
the clean removal from all surfaces.
We
undertake controlled testing of anti graffiti and anti
fly poster coatings to assess their performance in the
field prior to their recommendation to customers. Investment
in these coatings can be very high - Proud Industrial
can provide a real cost/benefit analysis and provide
an independent opinion on the choices available.

Awareness
and appreciation of the of the environment has had an
enormous impact on our business. The general public
has put pressure on government and local authorities;
local authorities has put pressure on their contractors;
and we as contractors have put pressure on our suppliers.
As
a result there has been a surge in chemical development
and the number of more environmentally friendly possibilities
has increased. Proud Industrial has undertaken many
trials of these new chemicals and has selected a combination
that both meets the environmental objectives yet still
performs well in the field.
All
aspects of our work has been examined and measures taken
to alter our working practices. Examples are: minimising
water usage; vehicle route planning software employed
to minimise fuel use; reuse of paint by mixing to make
a usable brown for temporary hoardings
We
are continually reassessing what we do to try to reduce
our environmental impact further. We are also formalising
our efforts and are in the process of working towards
ISO14001 Environmental Management System accreditation.

relationships with Local Authorities and to honour its

themselves with new chemicals and machinery and to introduce
them to the Proud Industrial way of doing things.
Smaller
councils can benefit greatly from a working relationship
with Proud Industrial. They can enjoy a small dedicated
team working on their contract , supported by additional
expertise from within the company for tasks such high-level
graffiti removal or specialised coatings. There is also
a pool of experienced teams to call on at times of higher
demand and special projects. All customers can benefit
from the expertise gathered over many years and from
working
with many councils, and gain benefits usually only possible
with much larger organisations.

Training
and Staff Development
|
The
success of Proud Industrial lies with its staff. The
efforts of the directors would result in little if it
were not for the matched efforts and energy of their
staff, both office based and from the specialist
teams in the field. Investment in training and staff
development has been, and continues to be the most important
investment the company makes.
Training
goes far beyond that of the actual removal process itself.
A high level of responsibility is passed to teams who
are best placed to understand and make decisions on
what is needed to get the job done to the customers
instructions, to the right quality standards and safely.
We support staff by providing the training and tools
they need to do the job well and we work through any
problems they encounter together.
All
our staff understand that we are on the front line when
dealing with the general public, and we understand that
we represent our customers when having this direct contact
with the public. Our staff take the time to liaise and
inform residents of the work being undertaken and treat
everyone with respect. One of our most prized and appreciated
achievements we have received was in 2004 with the Better
Haringey Award for Best Contractor team as voted
by residents and other groups. An award we could never
achieve without the commitment of our front line staff.
