Month: November 2018

Name: Kyle Adams

Position: Project Engineer

How long have you been in your role?
I joined Diamond in 2008 when I left school, on the Apprenticeships NI Programme. During my 3 year training contract I attended Belfast Met for part of the week and completed NVQ Levels 2 & 3 in Security Alarms.

Describe a typical day?
A typical day consists of being out on the road, usually with an apprentice who assists me, carrying out routine and reactive maintenance, or installation, commissioning and handovers of fire alarm, intruder alarm and CCTV systems. I was recently promoted to Project Engineer, so the jobs I am working on are the more complex contracts undertaken by the company.

How would you describe the culture within Diamond?
I would say Diamond is a very friendly place to work and all of our work is completed to a very high standard. For me, joining over ten years ago as a school leaver, it has been a great place to learn about the main principles of the job, and there is good teamwork throughout the whole company.

What do you like most about your role?
I like the variety of my job. I like the fact that usually I am not working in the same place for 8 hours every day, and that the next day I am more than likely going to be carrying out different tasks than what I was doing the day before.

Dunmurry Golf Club hosted a launch event today for a new business networking group created by Diamond Joint Managing Director, Angela Bennett. The group is open to female business owners and senior executives who have an interest in learning to play golf. Dunmurry Golf Club will host the group lessons between January and March 2019, rounding off the programme with a fun three-hole competition on 5 April.

“I always had an interest in learning to play but never quite got around to it”, said Angela. “Whilst visiting our longstanding customer, Dunmurry Golf Club, earlier this year, I decided to put together this group and I am delighted with the level of interest we have had.”

In January 2019, twenty women from a range of business sectors will begin the Ladies into Golf programme.

“As well as the fun of learning golf as part of a group, we all have an interest in business networking, and it will be a very enjoyable experience getting to know each other on our golf journey.”
