DAVID HEWITT – REGIONAL ENGINEERING MANAGER

Branch (Army/Navy/RAF/Family): Army

Regiment/Corps/Station/Ship: Corp of Royal Engineers

Length of Service: 12 years

Trade/Role in Service: Carpenter, Combat Engineer, Signals Instructor

What do you think about BFRS and the services we provide? As I left 25 years ago, I didn’t use the service, but I did some day courses on interview techniques, CV writing etc. Any assistance in resettlement is helpful.

Personal quote about your own resettlement/transition experience: Employers take a good view of ex-military personnel as they have the ability to work both alone and as a team, are disciplined, have a good work ethic and are forward thinking

What advice would you give to the Armed Force Community about their transition journey? Employers are looking for reliable staff who have the capacity to work and think for themselves, can take into consideration other staff members. Ones who have a positive ‘can do’ attitude. Take into any interview the positives that you have learned throughout your military career

What our Customers say

We wanted a smart-looking, contactless approach to access control here at Little Dot. We love the Openpath solution proposed by KST; it’s sleek, simple to use and has excellent reporting features. What’s more, KST’s inhouse commissioning team remotely configured the software to meet our requirements - including who goes where and when, through which doors, the reporting we need and integration to our fire alarm system. Thanks to this we have saved the cost of two days labour on install!

KST has once again exceeded all expectations with their outstanding service. Safety is our number one priority for both our Post Masters and customers, therefore we are always on the lookout for new technologies and new ideas. Morphean platforms, along with the installation and maintenance provided by KST, has been the perfect decision for us due to our existing knowledge of their excellent services and competitive prices.

The mobilisation was smooth with little involvement required from ourselves. Communication, in particular, has been extremely strong with regular meetings. Monthly management information has been circulated and Clipper are using the real time management information that KST have provided with their DYMENSiON software. We also have working action plans on each site focusing on improvements and change management. All in all I would be happy to recommend KST to any company looking at contract award; our experience has been very positive and I am happy to endorse them.

The whole process of mobilisation and onboarding to KST was conducted in an exceptional manner, from start to finish. The preparation for the move between City Plumbing Supplies and KST was comprehensive. Collaboration was very good. The days of transfer were event free and smooth - with no major issues. The branches’ onboarding onto the KST system during the 12 weeks following the mobilisation was completed fully with excellent communication sessions conducted on a weekly basis. We are now looking forward to a long and effective partnership with KST.

We’ve been delighted with the partnership between ISS and KST and the approach to transferring the access control contract. The teams have gelled quickly to understand our estate and we’ve seen significant service improvements.
