For over a year, Sylwia Robertson has been working towards her National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health (NEBOSH) National Diploma in Occupational Health & Safety qualification. This meant many hours undertaking lots of exams and submitting coursework, alongside the additional pressure of the COVID pandemic and subsequent further responsibility through the Aquascot COVID Resilience Team — a dedicated team responsible for managing Aquascot’s response to ever-changing circumstances and issuing effective communication to all partners.

Sylwia's commitment and drive to develop herself further is reflected in her very high pass marks. She has been promoted from Health & Safety Advisor to the position of Health and Safety Manager, which is necessary for our continued growth, Health & Safety more than ever remaining center stage of all that we do to keep our partners safe.

Patrycja Cisewska has also been working very hard on her NEBOSH National General Certificate in Occupational Health & Safety, which she passed in the autumn — also putting in many hours to gain great pass marks. Supporting Sylwia to tackle the COVID threat situation, she has been stretching herself substantially beyond her normal role — especially during vital procedures like weekly walkarounds and accident investigations.

It is with no surprise that we are pleased to announce Patrycja’s promotion to that of Health and Safety Advisor — a great achievement for an active member of our Partnership Council, recently elected as Partner Director on the Board of Aquascot, and providing key input into our newly formed Charity Group.

Anne Allen, Head of HR, has expressed her pride in the commitment and dedication shown again and again by these two partners. As a business, Aquascot are delighted to have a strong Health & Safety team which will grow further over time — supporting our welfare commitments to keeping partners safe on site and supporting important mental health work.
