Bartech’s MD Paul Bleck is a member of Colchester Ambassadors, a group of business leaders who believe passionately about the opportunities that Colchester presents to inward investors and relocating businesses as well as to existing organisations within the town.
With one of the fastest growing populations and economies in the UK, Colchester has a highly educated and skilled workforce and a pro-active, forward-thinking outlook.
The Colchester Ambassadors have identified four key opportunities that together make the town an unbeatable proposition:
Creating capital in Colchester
A world-class knowledge borough
Embracing the entrepreneurial spirit
No better place to live and work
During an interview, with the Ambassadors, Paul was asked;
What are the advantages of being a Colchester-based business?
“Companies like Paxman Diesels and Colchester Lathes have ensured a very strong engineering heritage in Colchester, which has continued with many ex-army engineers in the area. This army history has also given an underlying strength of respect, discipline and community.
As a location, Colchester provides easy access to engines in use as standby generators in London as well as many marine applications around the East Anglian coastline.”

A few words from Paul as to what makes Colchester the perfect place for a business headquarters…
“Bartech helped maintain & achieve our recovery plan in a safe manner & also implementing the improvements required to prevent similar incidents.
They were very adaptable to our urgent requirements and used all of their resources possible to expedite the safe return of P-7230 fire water pump.
Bartech exceeded our expectations during this intervention.”

“We have a long term service agreement with Bartech so putting together the work scope was made easy as we have worked with them in the past and know how they work in a professional matter.
All the organisation and spares were taken care of by the project engineer, once this was ready Bartech and CNR had a conference call with the platform to discuss the scope and iron out any issues that may arise during the scope and controls were put in place to prevent issues arising.”

“Bartech professionally delivered on all promised work within schedule.
By utilising the experience and expertise of the Bartech engineers we were able to simultaneously liquidate a number of jobs.
The engineer’s problem-solving ability meant that long-standing issues were corrected.
The technical expertise on this particular fire pump was first class.”

“Nothing as the experience was excellent.”
Peter Reynolds ~ Generator Power Systems DDGC
“Bartech’s work ethic permeates through the organization, from Rob Lee the Bartech Project & Commercial Manager through to the technicians overhauling, testing, installing and commissioning the engines.
The communication is exactly what we expect from a supplier of products and services delivered to us here at Hartlepool PowerStation from weekly updates to overhaul documentation showing exactly where they are in the sequence of work.
It is excellent to see and sets a standard most do not achieve.”
Daniel Lanna ~ EDF Hartlepool
What were you most impressed with working with Bartech?
“A genuine open and honest customer focused approach.
A willingness to evolve and support ongoing learning (both ways) when things may not quite go as planned or expected. Whilst the whole Bartech team are focused and engaged Rob Lee has proved to be a pivotal contact point for EDF addressing and resolving concerns that may arise.”
Mark Bradbury ~ EDF Hartlepool
