TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

Eastleigh LWRD Safe Service Transformation Programme

I was the Programme Director of the above package of works and wish to record my appreciation
for the focussed and reliable input of Wan and his team at Durham Lifting Ltd.

The programme required technical excellence, focussed drive, commercial agility and pragmatism
to deliver a multi-million-pound improvement to improve safety for production teams and visible
assurance of maintenance activities and address identified non-conformances at the site.

Durham Lifting were engaged early on to help scope, design, assure, procure, deliver and hand over
a range of lifting products to improve safe handling of diverse loads. This posed a variety of novel
engineering challenges and required significant analysis of the tasks undertaken.

Throughout the eleven-month programme, which was delivered during covid restrictions, they
engaged positively, seeking resolution (rather than amplification of) technical and logistical
situations and could be relied upon to work harmoniously with the client team and interfacing
contractors in an accelerated programme and congested workspace.

Without their professional, diligent and positive engagement, it would not have been possible to
achieve so much in such a short period of time.

I would have no hesitation advocating for them. If you require any further information, please do
not hesitate to contact me.

Yours faithfully,

Anthony Marley

EVERYTHING that can be said about Generation Y, we’ve heard it all, right? They’re easily bored, highly am
social validation (‘like’ my photo, please!), and overly confident.

But a handful of enterprising young people at the recent GREAT Ideas Forum hosted by the British High C
is possible to convert those qualities into strengths.

The forum gave four bright young minds the chance to present their social-entrepreneurial projects to a p

David Cameron’s working visit to Malaysia.

Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah, CEO of the Global Movement of Moderates was also on the panel, and he agre

And that’s probably even more true with social entrepreneurship, where you need to be ambitious and pe
innovative ways to solve social problems – perhaps that’s what truly defines the young people of Malaysia

The four young social entrepreneurs at GREAT Ideas each had two minutes to present their projects and e
panel.

The panel was completed by Astro CEO Datuk Rohana Rozhan, UK Trade Envoy to the Asean Economic Co
and British High Commissioner Her Excellency Vicki Treadell, who left mid-way through the forum to welco

Social worker Katrina Arokiam, 28, wanted to focus on the neglected urban poor in the city. Her work thro
Yayasan Chow Kit led her to envision a plan for rehabilitating street children with drug addictions.

“The majority of street kids are undocumented, stateless children or those with family problems. They surv
this may lead them to develop a drug addiction. Some of them are also living with HIV,” she said.

Katrina found a rehabilitation centre at Batu Arang which has agreed to take on these children and help th
addiction. At the centre, the children are also taught to develop useful skills that can help them earn a livin

Another presenter, Reeve Yew, 21, of Thriving Talents, proposed a programme to get young people to org
SMEs which may not have the required workforce.

“On one hand, you have companies who want to hop on the CSR bandwagon, but don’t have enough inte
the other hand, there are young people looking for opportunities to showcase their ideas and energy. So,

Other projects include a programme to improve graduate employability, and another to promote sustaina
underprivileged. All ideas presented that day involve the local youth population, directly or indirectly.

The four social-entrepreneurial projects were some of the best examples of Malaysian youth innovations i
through the British High Commissioner’s Successor Generation Initiative (SGI), based on their potential to
build skills and be self-sustaining.

Echoing Treadell’s sentiments, Yew said they won’t forget long-term sustainability when it comes to any p
entrepreneurship. “Ultimately, we want more youths to come together to help not only the society, but als

The young entrepreneurs received a lot of helpful feedback from the panelists, who seemed genuinely im
presented.

“I love seeing their passion,” said Graham, who is personally involved in charitable work, and has previous
the Care for Children foundation.

Javid concurred that it was exciting to see how an enterprising nature, when combined with new technolo

“It is fantastic to see these young people. It’s important to learn from the next generation and draw on the
gender, race and sexual orientation,” he said.

Javid ended the forum on a high by praising the projects’ innovation and viability.
