MVIS wins EMBCA Award

We announced recently that MVIS had been shortlisted for two awards at the East Midlands Chamber Business Awards, and we are thrilled to follow up that announcement with even better news – we won one!

At a fantastic awards ceremony on September 17th At The Roundhouse in Derby, we were delighted to hear our name called out as the winner of the Excellence in Innovation award.

The company has increased turnover by 500% over the last two years, doubling the size of the team in the last 12 months alone. And since autumn 2014, we have appointed staff across our technical, delivery and maintenance and sales operations.

Said MVIS’ Managing Director, Pat Musgrave: “The last two years have been exciting for us, and we’ve worked hard to create pioneering solutions to help further improve the safety and efficiency of the UK’s road network. It’s great that our work is being recognised at both regional and national levels.”

MVIS would like to say a big thank you to everyone at the company for all their hard work over the years and looks forward to the future.

Tim Hill: Delivery and Maintenance Operative

Tim Hill began working in MVIS’ Maintenance & Delivery department in May 2015, and is definitely the one to turn to should you have a ‘how does this work’ kind of a question.

How long have you been with MVIS?:
I started with MVIS in May 2015.

Job role:
My job role is to maintain our fleet of signs and keep them in good working order.

I also deliver them to our customers around the UK. I work with Darren Slater mostly and you can often find us out on the road delivering signs.

Sometimes I work in the yard with Tom, George and Kiran.

Recent projects:
The most recent project I worked on is getting a fleet of signs ready for A14 and A1 motorway. I have also done a bit of work on the MTS upgrades.

How did you get into the industry:
I got into the industry through my supervisor Darren as I had worked with him in a previous job and he recommended me to the company.

I am pretty good with electrics and am a hands-on kind of guy. This enabled me to learn the skills for the job very quickly.

Most fulfilling part of your role:
My favorite part of working at MVIS is delivering the signs to different locations across the UK. I enjoy working with the signs as I like to know as much about them as possible.

More about me:
When I am out of work I like to work on my own car. I play football a lot – I play for my local team on Saturdays and I play 6-a-side on Mondays with my friends.

I love gadgets and I have to have the latest things. And if there’s anything electrical I like to be able to fix them, such as phones, tablets and more!
