Kevin was looking at potentially serious situation developing over the weekend as the outside temperature was in fact 1C on that February day.
The problem was that pipe work had sprung leaks in the Heating System adjacent to and inside the building where the District Headquarters and child development accommodation are housed.
A call from Mark to the WHL Network and Director Rod Williams at HQ Gloucester immediately confirmed the availability of a suitable 200 KW heating set, a bunded fuel tank and suitably sized flexible hose in 6 metre lengths.
Transport, incorporating a Hiab for offloading, was sourced back at Walsall, priced and a proposal presented to SGH for delivery on the Sunday.
During Sunday Roger Byard, WHLs National Service Manager was liaising with all concerned to ensure continuity of the programme.
The commercial and technical proposal was accepted and WHL accepted a verbal order: all systems were put into motion resulting in almost 'a Dawn Delivery' of all the plant and ancillaries to SGH.
Kevin's Team sprang into action and installed all the services and flexible pipe work and by 'early doors' on Monday 28/2/05 the unit was duly commissioned by a WHL Engineer.
Familiarisation followed with Sandwell Staff and the plant was handed over, removing the threat of 'Cold Staff and Patients' on a Monday Morning.
Kevin, as Estates Manager, was 'delighted at the WHL response and expertise,especially over a weekend.
