Costain Cares is the contractor’s programme to build a long-term sustainable business that creates economic, environmental and social value and their supply chain relationships are fundamental to achieving that vision.
WJ has been one of Costain’s top performing suppliers for just over two years and again has been awarded “Defining Blue” status for two M1 smart motorway contracts: Junctions 28-31 and Junctions 32-35, said Andy Walker, WJ commercial director.
WJ Group is a UK road marking business specialising in permanent and temporary road markings, road studs, high friction and safety surfacing, asphalt repair, Hydroblast line removal and surface retexturing.
Costain said that its Defining Blue supply chain review analyses supplier performance in a more qualitative and proactive way that clarifies expectations and communicates these expectations on a quarterly basis. These are measured against agreed criteria including safety, quality, people, cost and time. Performance is colour coded, with Blue achieving excellence, hence Defining Blue score criteria is the objective.
