February’s colleague of the month has been chosen for her problem-solving abilities, knowledge and the support she provides to her team. “The team would be lost without her” explains a colleague. This employee has not been with the company long, but she has made quite an impression – congratulations Chloe Bungay Maintenance Team Leader for Generator & UPS!

Chloe joined the Shenton Group family in November 2018 initially as a Project Management Assitant, then in March 2019, she moved into her current role. Noted as “always smiling and having a positive attitude”, Chloe has been voted for by a colleague for “making a real effort to make me feel so welcome when I was new to the team,” and “supporting me with everything in my new role.”

Chloe’s role is varied and reactive, working closely with our clients to ensure that their generators and UPSs are maintained effectively. You never know what kind of call will come in. One minute she could be scheduling service visits, the next she could be on the phone to engineers. With engineers all over the country providing support, this requires a highly organised individual to keep everything in check.

We asked Chloe how she finds her role and her time at Shenton Group:

“No two days are the same, I am always busy, and I enjoy coming to work. I work with a great team and for a fantastic company. My team are hardworking, and we always have a laugh which makes the days fly by!”

We thank you once again for all you bring to the company Chloe. Enjoy your bottle of bubbly, voucher and premium parking space. Keep up the excellent work!

January 2020’s colleague of the month award goes to….


Drum roll please…. Congratulations Alan McClure – Generator Rental Engineer! 

Alan has been voted for by the Shenton team for having a positive attitude in all he does, assisting in all sort of tasks, and often thinking of cost-saving solutions. Thanks so much for your efforts!

Dealing directly with clients, Alan is one of many engineers that drive all over the country providing reliable power and generator expertise. There isn’t much he hasn’t done in the company! 

Having worked for the company now for 5 years, he is a valued member of the team. Moving around in different departments, Alan started out in generator servicing, then went on to work in CHP servicing for 18 months, to where we find him today in Generator Rental. 

A Peek into the Life of a Generator Service Engineer

When a rental is due to go out to a client, it is Alan’s job to ensure it arrives to the site safely, he connects it up and ensures its in full working order. Once the generator is no longer needed, Alan would return and take it away again.

If the rental is for a long duration of time, the generator would need refuelling, and if a fault occurs, Alan would be on hand to take care of this. 

When Alan is not out serving our rental clients he is out servicing generators on the maintenance side, providing valuable services such as load bank testing and fuel polishing. These services help to keep our client’s generators functioning and reliable. 

Alan explains:
“What I enjoy most about my job is that every day is a different challenge.”

Sum up your role in 3 words:
“interesting, unpredictable and satisfying”

We thank you once again Alan for doing a great job. Congratulations, and enjoy your bubbly and vouchers!

Last but not least… December’s colleague of the month has been chosen because she is always happy, chatty and super helpful. Well done Cloe for winning colleague of the month for the second time in 2019!

Cloe has been with the CHP Department at Shenton Group for four years and spends her day dealing with customer call-outs, working with our engineers, CHP resetting, preparing service reports and invoicing but never knows what her day will bring! “I enjoy all aspects of my job. With our call outs, you can never predict what is going to happen, so it certainly keeps me on my toes!”

We asked Cloe how she finds working at Shenton Group: 

“Shenton Group has a real family feel, and It’s so much more friendly in comparison to anywhere I have previously worked. Everyone is so approachable whatever their role is within the company. Other places I have worked made me feel uneasy to speak to managers and especially directors, such a contrast to being here. It’s so much nicer coming into work every day and working for a company that wants its employees to be involved.”

Cloe has an infectious laugh, beaming smile and you know that if you ask her to help or do anything, she’ll be more than happy to help. Thankyou Cloe for all your hard work and efforts and enjoy the vouchers, bubbly and NO1 parking spot all of January. Keep up the excellent work!
