ESM Power Technician Alex Whyley Wins Mitie Bronze Award for Safety Excellence

We’re proud to announce that Alex Whyley, one of our dedicated HV Technicians, has been honoured with the Bronze Award at Mitie’s annual MyAchievement Awards –a well-deserved recognition for his outstanding safety-first response during a recent site inspection.

During a routine high-voltage inspection at a customer substation, Alex spotted a serious oil leak on a DNO-owned voltage transformer inside a customer-owned building. Although this equipment was outside our direct responsibility, Alex’s sharp eye and quick thinking helped avert what could have been a critical safety incident.

Thanks to Alex’s vigilance:

  • The substation was immediately secured and access controlled.
  • The issue was reported promptly to the customer, ESM Power management, and the DNO emergency team.
  • Coordinated efforts allowed the safe isolation of supplies and a switch to backup power.

The DNO completed emergency repairs, put monitoring measures in place, and scheduled asset replacement – all made possible by Alex’s proactive actions.

This award is a fantastic testament to Alex’s outstanding contribution and a reminder that safety always comes first at ESM Power.

Congratulations, Alex – well done!
