With the company pension scheme we lay a perfect foundation for your future

Our compensation for your work is not just good, it’s equitable. Pay structures at Bosch are fair and transparent. After all, we want to build a long-term, successful working relationship with you. We also add attractive benefits to your basic salary, such as our company pension scheme. And the more you put into your work, the more you'll get out of it — as part of our work bonus scheme.

The Bosch benefit plan offers a simple, profitable system for company retirement benefits. To help you accumulate retirement savings, we offer company contributions. Additionally, you can contribute directly from your salary. The contributions are invested in stocks and interest-bearing securities. We are careful to provide you with a secure and sustainable investment strategy. Your savings will be available as additional income once you retire.

But there are more ways we appreciate your work and encourage you to contribute your ideas. We have thus introduced our company suggestion system: Suggestions that deliver results, such as optimised processes or improved product quality, are rewarded with bonuses of up to 150,000 euros.

Meet the team:

David (Company Director) has been working on cars since the age of 11 when he first got behind the steering wheel of a 1956 Morris Isis and learned to drive around the yard at the family home. Apprenticed in 1971 for five years and still learning 37 years later , proud to have worked with some real tradesmen. During that time the job has seen many changes mostly good, but sadly some things not so. Every day brings a new challenge, sometimes frustration, but always satisfaction and pride.

Andy has shadowed his brother Dave since he left school with a few variations of employers but shares the same love of the job. He joined Barkston Refinishing in May 1983 and celebrates 35 years with the company this year.

Paul son of David was born to spray. Loves to paint something different and wants to hear from you! Normally nobody sees the efforts of his labour as his job is to repair the car so that no one can tell its been done. Give him something different to do and make him happy!

Rosemarie married David in 1977 and still loves him. – what a woman! Rosemarie mans the office on a Friday and generally looks after the money. She is a pussycat most of the time but is feared in accounts departments and by debtors who dare to exceed our credit terms without telling her

Adam has loved classic cars every since he was 11 when he built a 1976 Triumph Spitfire 1500 from a bare shell upwards and every since he was ready to do anything with a car from learning how to paint it to how to do bodywork on it from welding to panel beating, Adam is our apprentice, joined in September 2016 and is making a good start to his career

The world around us is always changing.  New buildings are designed, new developments planned, old buildings redeveloped and modernised.  Modern machinery is required for transport options, to build our digital devices, and to create power for our digital world.  This world needs protecting, we must use energy wisely, avoid changing our environment, and remove all toxins and hazardous waste.

There are many businesses in the industries building the modern world.  The Rilmac Group of Companies for example, focussing on construction and steel engineering nationwide from our headquarters in Lincoln.

 Rilmac has grown from humble beginnings of three men and a van in 1957 to become a market leader of Asbestos Services, Fabrication, Insulation and Scaffolding.

Micronclean, based in Skegness started as a local laundry and has been owned and managed by one family since the 1920’s. At that time, the business concentrated on hand finished laundry services focusing on quality, innovation, attention to detail and customer care. These attributes underpin all the products and services Micronclean now offer which range from our traditional hand finished linen through laundered garment services for both industrial clients and high-tech pharmaceutical companies throughout the UK to cleanroom consumables which are sold in the UK and overseas.

Our ongoing evolution started in the 1970’s when we introduced the first tunnel finisher into Skegness which had the benefit of drying garments using steam thereby doing away for the need for ironing. Tunnel finishers are now the industry standard way of drying garments. We also were the first to introduce Polycotton garments, now the predominant fabric for workwear.

During the 1980’s we built the first cleanroom laundry and we were the first laundry to adopt ISO9001.

The 1990’s saw the introduction of garment tracking and we were the first laundry to use Radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology through which we track individual garments in our in-house developed Protrack system.  We remain the only major laundry to scan garments both into and out of our sites. We were the first laundry to adopt ISO14001 environmental standard.

The building of Louth in the 2000’s saw the development of the first (and only) large scale ISO6 cleanroom laundry, Louth’s sortation system remains the most sophisticated in the UK. Alongside this we developed an innovative automotive paintshop garment washing process which remains the most effective for that environment. We achieved Risk analysis and Bio-contamination Control (RABC) accreditation, ISO14065, the first Laundry in the UK and still the only cleanroom Laundry to do this. We introduced a patented Mopping system and multipack syringe packs, both of which have genuinely changed the dynamic of the market.

The current decade has seen the introduction of our alcohol trigger sprays for our clean room consumables customers which have challenged 30 years of received wisdom and have transformed the market place. Our Alpha and Beta disinfectant range have allowed customers to move away from chlorine based solutions which have major problems with health and safety due to the vapour as well as the corrosive properties of chlorine based disinfectants.

Micronclean has a turnover of just over £25m and employs close to 450 people across the UK, the majority of these being based at our three main production sites, all based in Lincolnshire. We have an active Continuous Improvement programme driving business improvement for our customers.

Looking to the future we are confident of growth not only in the UK but also in export markets as we seek to leverage not only our laundered garment service and consumables sales but also use our unique laundry knowledge to deliver business opportunities in overseas markets in line with our mission statement.

They are actively engaged in the design and development of our products. This includes building and operating test rigs.

Our principle clients are within the Oil, Chemical and Petrochemical related industries, Power Generation, Steel, Marine and others.

The company offers an excellent package that depends on ability and experience and includes a bonus scheme.

The Water Management Alliance

The Water Management Alliance (WMA) is a group of like-minded Internal Drainage Boards (known as IDBs) operating in the Anglian Region. We are building resource and capacity in the Anglian region in order to meet the challenges of climate change, sustainable water and flood risk management.  The WMA works closely with our IDB’s, partners, communities and individuals to secure new funding streams and deliver innovative approaches at a local level.  

We welcome partnership approaches and aim to deliver value for money projects using local expertise and experience.  

Did you know Internal Drainage Boards…?

• date back some 900 years and are one of Europe’s oldest water management organisations.
  
• have statutory powers to undertake flood defence and water management works. 
  
• aim to manage water levels and flood risk management for people and wildlife sustainably and aim to limit impacts of flood and drought within their drainage districts.  
  
• are collectively one of the biggest managers of freshwaters and wetlands in the UK.  
  
• manage drainage districts that cover 10% of the land in England and Wales.
  
• manage and maintain over 500 pumping stations, 22,000 km of watercourse and numerous sluices and weirs for people and wildlife.  
  

The Water Management Alliance works for and on behalf of other Flood Risk Management Authorities as well as community groups, NGO’s and landowners.  We also deliver significant flood risk management benefits and enhanced environmental outcomes on the ground.  Our members are all independent and democratically accountable statutory bodies who seek to protect some 548,000 hectares in East Anglia. 

The WMA Eastern Drainage Boards include the Broads IDB, East Suffolk IDB and the Norfolk Rivers IDB.  

South Holland:

This  includes some of the most fertile arable land in the world and is widely recognised as the bread basket of Britain. The area is home to around 60,000 people, a thriving local economy and an increasingly popular tourist destination that attracts visitors from around the country. The area is both locally and nationally important and worth the cost of defending and protecting, now and in future.

Although the entire area is at considerable theoretical risk of river flooding and inundation from the sea, the actual risk is substantially reduced by the work that we do in partnership with Local Authorities, the Environment Agency and Natural England.

The area's full watershed catchment area draining to the Drainage District is the same as the Drainage District, which means that we can provide a better service than we might otherwise be able to: this is because we are not compelled to take surface water from outside the Drainage District that we have no control over. This gives us an advantage in being able to protect the people of South Holland and reduce the risk of flooding.

If you choose to work for the WMA or any of its Member Boards you will be joining an organisation which is striving to provide employees with a positive employment experience. Whether you work for us as a digger driver or as a member of the senior management team, there will be a considerable variety of challenges in your diverse workload and you will be offered real opportunities for career development.
