EASAWAY EMPLOYEES LEARN THE
'FUN' WAY
Easaway Drain
Care Ltd (Sub-Contractor to Leeds City Council) held a Pipe Re-line competition,
designed to provide staff with the necessary skills to carry out a localised
pipe repair and to re-illiterate the value of Teamwork.
Leeds based Easaway, previously known as Eazyjet Drain Care, launched in 2000
and due to a dedicated work force has now become established as, a Drain Cleaning
company that provides a 24- hour service across the Yorkshire region, offers
extremely competitive rates and focuses strongly on customer service.
The competition took place at EasawayÕs site amongst Drainage Engineers, Plumbers,
Ground Workers and even Call Centre staff, who teamed up to perform the challenge.
The competition began with a Pipe-reline demonstration, performed by expert
Walter Schofield from the Sewer Centre, who explained, "A pipe re-line saves
both time and money, as it removes the need to excavate"
Then in true Generation Game style it was EasawayÕs turn to have a go. Split
into teams (red, green, blue, yellow and pink) participants were marked out
of 10 on: Time taken, Teamwork and of course the Best re-line produced.
Winning the competition by two points were the Blue team, who were awarded
£150 prize money for producing the best pipe re-line in the fastest time and
demonstrating good communication skills throughout the exercise. The runners
up prize went to the Pink team (the girls who work in EasawayÕs Call Centre)
although they were provided with a much smaller pipe to repair they still
managed to thoroughly impress their male counterparts.
On the whole Walter added, "All the pipe re-lines produced today were of a
satisfactory standard and would be very acceptable as real localised repairs"
