ALLIANCES 2016 15 Launched in May this year, Barhale-Response is targeting the UK water and wastewater sector for its design, manufacture, delivery, installation and commissioning mechanical, electrical and ICA (MEICA) services. It is a venture between Barhale and Irish group Response. Barhale-Response aims to establish and promote totex solutions; continuing optimisation of BIM and 3D modelling; extending and developing offsite fabrication capability; continued staff development through training and succession management; and carbon reduction through clear plans and practices. Heading up the venture is general manager David Welch, who said: "We have the expertise and backing of two huge companies and have the capability to keep all MEICA works including 3D Design and BIM in-house rather than out sourcing. We want a company that fully responds to all the needs of its clients, which constantly strives to improve, whose employees enjoy coming to work, and a company that earns enough to reward its people and provides funds for growth and business development." Barhale Group chairman Dennis Curran said: "This new business is a coming together of two experienced and successful companies. It is about bringing together the very best of decades of working in many industries." Dr Les Dawson, former chief executive of Southern Water, said: "The water industry is going to face some really tough times over the next five years. Therefore a new progressive company in the market place is a good thing providing Barhale- Response the opportunity to come forward with innova- tion and lots of good ideas."
