Introducing our all-new Field Team (FT) Pit Stops

Our Field Team engagement team have created ‘Field Team Pit Stops’. A new way to engage prospective and current field teams across the UK. Alex Clark explains more.

At Ground Control, our field teams drive our award-winning services and maintenance, whilst delivering world-class customer satisfaction. To continue connecting with our teams, showcasing best practices and allowing new field teams to see what working with Ground Control is all about, we’re launching our first-ever Field Team (FT) Pit Shops.

What are Field Team (FT) Pit Stops?

FT Pit Stops are a new, nationwide programme designed to connect our field teams, Contract Managers, and partners at a local level. Allowing people to ask meaningful questions, meet with supplies, and learn from field teams who share their experiences.

Our current teams can talk, share ideas, raise issues, and strengthen relationships in the field, whereas teams looking to join Ground Control can find out exactly what it is like to be part of our GC community. With a friendly, no-pressure atmosphere, each event will include:

• Meet-and-greets with Ground Control Contract Managers and the opportunity for live feedback and two-way conversations
• Exclusive discounts and trade incentives from suppliers on tools, PPE, equipment, and more

Where are the first pit stops?

The first event will take place at Ellesmere Port and is open to field teams, prospective contractors, or clients interested in how Ground Control supports its teams. No need to register, just come along on the day!

• Location: Ellesmere Port, Canal & Waterways Museum
• Date: Wednesday 20th August 2025
• Time: 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM

What are the benefits of becoming a Field Team?

Working with Ground Control offers a unique opportunity to remain an independent business whilst accessing guaranteed work and support from a nationwide company, as well as:

• Competitive rates, paid on time through our central business
• Local work, which means less travel and a smaller carbon footprint

• Health & Safety support, including a 24/7 help desk
