The founder of Linbrooke has praised staffs’ resourcefulness, unity and resilience in their efforts to help keep UK’s and Europe’s critical infrastructure intact.
Lee Hallam has released the statement amongst details of the range of safety procedures implemented to keep the company working safely through the COVID-19 pandemic.
The company, which specialises in technology and connectivity integration solutions across the entirety of the rail sector is continuing to operate through the COVID-19 pandemic and introduced its own safety measures to ensure staff safety & wellbeing. The ‘Working Together. Keeping Apart. Staying Safe.’ campaign was launched to support safety measures already in place within the organisation.

Linbrooke’s Power Networks division is Lloyds Register National Electricity Registration Scheme (NERS) accredited Independent Connections Provider specialising in rail, renewable energy, DNO’s, iDNO’s, industrial, commercial and housing developers electrical connections. The Optical Networks division installs and commissions high speed telecoms data links across global networks infrastructure, keeping the world connected.
New Government guidelines, business continuity updates and new working practices are being communicated to its hundreds of staff members through the employee communications management systems via email and text messages and internal communications platform Yammer.
Within 365 Yammer, Linbrooke set up a workforce support group and is encouraging colleagues to share useful information from finance and home-schooling help, through to entertainment and fitness tips. Linbrooke also reinforced #LinbrookeGetTalking initiative that was launched last year highlighting the importance for colleagues to stay in touch and speak out if they are struggling with their mental health during the pandemic. All supported by their Employee Assistance Programme.
Colleagues have also worked around the clock to develop a bespoke working from home guide which has been shared with the industry.
Lee Hallam said: “To my employees and supply chain partners as we manage these unprecedented times together – I would like to share my heartfelt support and solidarity with you all and your families.
“To ensure business continuity across our global activities, we continue to support our rail, power and telecommunications clients in their quest of keeping UK’s and Europe’s critical infrastructure intact. We are taking safety measures to protect our people and take all responsible actions to help stop the virus from spreading further.
“I am tremendously proud of our workforce for their unity, resourcefulness, reliability, resilience, courage and discipline – all whilst demonstrating cheerfulness in the face of adversity. I would like to thank you all for your invaluable commitment during this time.”
