🔵➡️👨‍🚒 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹-𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗥𝗼𝗼𝘁𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝘁𝘀!

At Collins, our team isn’t just family - they’re heroes in the making. Josh Hallam, a former Collins plant fitter who traded wrenches for firefighting gear!

With Collins Josh mastered our heavy plant machinery. Now, as a firefighter with Nottingham Road Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service's White Watch, he jumped at the chance to reconnect - this time, using Collins’ dozers and dumpers at our Ball Eye Quarry for entrapment training. Talk about coming full circle!

🪨𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗥𝗼𝗰𝗸𝘀:
Josh's insider knowledge of our equipment gave his colleagues a unique insight during the training. From stabilising Paratech air struts to high-pressure air bags, his experience helped the crew simulate real-world heavy rescue scenarios - safely and effectively.

🧯𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸:
We’re beyond proud to support the White Watch, one of the few teams equipped to handle Major Rescue Incidents within the county, but seeing a former Collins employee still making an impact in our community - that’s the real win!
