๐Ÿš›๐ŸŽ‰ Huge congratulations to Lauren Meek on successfully passing her HGV Class 1 (Category C+E) test this morning! ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿš›

Lauren joined Phoenix Drilling as our Sample Store Assistant, keeping our samples organised and supporting our engineering team behind the scenes. Now sheโ€™s added another string to her bow and will also be helping with plant and equipment moves across the country.

We're incredibly proud of Lauren for this fantastic achievement and the hard work she's put in to get here. ๐Ÿ‘

The only person not quite as excited might be her sister Emma... ๐Ÿคญ With Lauren now qualified, she'll be getting behind the wheel of Emma's pride and joy, Sally the Scania, and we're not sure Emma is quite ready to share the keys yet! ๐Ÿšš๐Ÿ˜‚

Well done Lauren โ€“ a brilliant achievement and thoroughly deserved. Welcome to the world of Class 1 driving! ๐Ÿ’ช

Today we're celebrating the incredible women who help keep Phoenix Drilling moving forward every day.

From project planning and engineering support to operations, administration and field services, the women across our business play a vital role in delivering successful ground investigation projects throughout the UK.

Engineering remains a traditionally male-dominated industry, but we're proud to see more talented women building successful careers within the sector and helping to shape its future.

A huge thank you to all the women at Phoenix Drilling for your hard work, dedication, and the valuable contribution you make to our business every day.

Here's to encouraging the next generation of women to explore careers in engineering, construction, and the geotechnical industry. ๐Ÿ’™

It's been a busy couple of weekends, but we're pleased to have completed a floor and walkway refresh throughout our workshop, sample store, and equipment store.

The project has transformed these areas with cleaner, brighter, and more clearly defined walkways, helping to improve safety, organisation, and the overall working environment for our team and visitors.

A great example of continuous improvement and investing in our workplace to support efficiency, safety, and pride in our facilities.

Itโ€™s a Hรคgglund BV206 kind of week at our Livingston workshop.

As our long-term energy projects across the Highlands begin to wind down, the focus shifts from the field to the workshop, where our team is busy preparing each of our low ground pressure vehicles for their next deployment.

From routine servicing and transfer gearbox refurbishments to sprocket and idler replacements, every machine undergoes a thorough inspection and overhaul to ensure it remains reliable and ready for the toughest terrain.

Once the mechanical work is complete, attention turns to presentation, giving each BV206 the finishing touches so it looks every bit as good as it performs before heading back into service.

A great effort from the workshop team, whose hard work keeps our fleet operating at the highest standard.

We're delighted to welcome Lauren Meek to the Phoenix Drilling team!

Lauren joins us as our new Sample Store Assistant, taking on an important role within our engineering and laboratory support functions. She will be responsible for organising and managing samples returned from site, assisting our engineers during the sample logging process, maintaining the sample store, and preparing and retrieving samples for laboratory testing and client requirements. The sample store plays a vital role in ensuring the quality and traceability of the data we provide to our clients and Lauren's support will help keep this process running efficiently and smoothly.

Alongside her sample store responsibilities, Lauren will also be assisting her sister, Emma, with HGV vehicle movements, helping to keep our operations moving and supporting our field teams across the UK.
Having both Lauren and Emma behind the wheel of our trucks should keep things interesting! We're not sure whether it'll be teamwork or sibling rivalry that gets the plant & equipment moved quickest, but we're looking forward to finding out! ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿš›๐Ÿ‘ญ

We're excited to have Lauren on board and look forward to seeing her develop within the business. Please join us in giving her a warm Phoenix Drilling welcome! ๐Ÿ‘

This week, we're shining the spotlight on Willie Ganson, our highly skilled Excavator Operator.

When it comes to excavator operations, Willie consistently goes above and beyond. Whether it's remedial works, peatland restoration, track construction, bund formation, site clearance or tackling challenging ground conditions, his attention to detail and commitment to getting the job done right first time never fail to impress both Phoenix Drilling and our clients.

His experience, professionalism and pride in his work set the standard on every project he works on. Simply put, Willie is one of the best at what he does!

Away from the machine, Willie is an absolute gentleman and a valued member of the Phoenix Drilling team. His positive attitude, willingness to help others and dedication to delivering quality work make him a real asset to the business.

Thank you, Willie, for everything you do โ€“ we're proud to have you as part of the Phoenix team! ๐Ÿ‘

Another early start for Greg and Stephen from one of our Low Ground Pressure Energy teams as they relocate to their next borehole location in Aberdeenshire.

Our low ground pressure rigs allow us to access sensitive ground conditions while minimising environmental impact, helping to keep projects moving safely and efficiently.

A great example of specialist geotechnical investigation supporting energy infrastructure projects across Scotland.

Last week we welcomed David and Sandie from Headshots Scotland to Phoenix Drilling to refresh our team portraits, and what a fantastic experience it was!

A huge thank you to both of them for making the entire process run so smoothly. From start to finish, they created a relaxed atmosphere and helped everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera โ€“ no easy task for some of our team!

The photos are now back with us, and the difficult part begins... choosing our favourites! Once everyone has made their selections, we'll be updating our website with a fresh new look so you can put faces to the names behind Phoenix Drilling.
