MEANINGFUL VALUES FOR STAFF AND CLIENTS

We have company values that are meaningful, and employ staff that demonstrate and commit to them. Our values are:
Teamwork

A happy team during and after work.
We run a family-friendly, staff-orientated company that strives for maximum staff retention and a happy team. Effective client and team relationships are extremely important to project success.

Integrity

Do the right thing.
We run a transparent operation and believe honesty is always the best policy – even if it hurts. We only involve ourselves in projects that we believe are sustainable and right for the community.

Client focus

Understand and help them.
Excellent communication is a key ingredient in our project successes. We deliver value by ensuring the project team really understands the project objectives and the Client’s goals, and by providing skilled and capable resources, the “best for project” team, to deliver the work.

Commitment

Deliver what you promise.
We provide a clear scope of work, complete regular reporting and like to have regular face to face meetings with our clients to ensure that we deliver what we promised. We take our responsibilities personally.

Empathy

Walk in other peoples’ shoes.
We place ourselves in the shoes of our clients, the community and our staff. We treat our staff and clients fairly, and build good long term relationships.

Passion

Love engineering and learning.
Our staff are passionate about what they do. As a company we encourage staff training and development, and exchanging skills with project partners during execution.

I would like to thank Karen and the team at Graymatter, for and outstanding job delivering the new roundabout at Hanlin Road. The project was very high profile, as it was outside the National Velodrome and St Peter’s School in Cambridge. Graymatter were involved from the beginning with project planning, and other activities needed to get funding approval. Graymatter led project and stakeholder workshops, and completed a comprehensive business case for the works. Graymatter also led investigations and completed the design work and contract documentation, and well as project supervision, and MSQA. Throughout the process the Graymatter team acted professionally and ensured tough questions were not avoided, and overall our stakeholders and partners enjoyed the positive collaborative honest and friendly approach taken. The end result is one the community is proud of, and looking at the project I can see many areas, where the inputs led by Karen and the team made a difference and ensured that value was added. Additional cyclepaths and bus access was able to be incorporated into the design. Karen also managed to keep all the parties working towards common agreed goals. The construction also was disrupted by COVID shutdown and Karen kept the project construction moving forward, and ensured that the all parties managed their own risks positively and colaboratively.   I would have no hesitation in recommending the Graymatter team for other works.
