Mining craftsmen that would be using the equipment will have been sent to the manufacturer in the US to have hands-on experience with them , ensuring better maintenance performance for the company in the future .
“ We make sure the workforce feels part of the incremental improvements in efficiency and have a say in all of it , and they ’ re happy to do so because they can see the improvements being made in their methods of work which are now safer , cleaner and less labour intensive .”
Looking forward and Compass Minerals UK plans to have moved completely into the new mining area over the next five years , as well as enjoying a new power supply to the mine to enforce even more flexibility and safety in matching demand .
Dunn concluded : “ We ’ re always focused on improving and we aim to run more equipment simultaneously in the future to be more flexible dependent on the weather .
“ Part of the value we provide is this guaranteed level of service . Our customers know we will be here for the next 30 years and that we will be able to provide for them for at least that length of time .” headquarters
