Chief Executive’s strategic review
This report covers the financial year 2019/20 and therefore contains many references to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Recognising the need to report on a specific period in Keltbray’s history, I have also chosen to focus on a confident future for Keltbray. Our long-term aim is to become a more sustainably profitable specialist engineering business by investing in our talented

workforce, innovative engineering solutions and core self-delivery capabilities. We will target opportunities in sectors that most benefit from the certainty of our innovative approach. This approach is reinforced in our new core purpose... ...To redefine the way sustainable development is delivered.
SAFETY AND SUSTAINABILITY The Group continued to place safety and sustainability at the very heart of our business strategy and decision-making processes – it constitutes our primary focus and is encapsulated in our core purpose. This past year, the Group improved both its Lost Time Incident Frequency Rates and its Reportable Injuries Rates. Since the year-end, it is with great sadness that I have to report that a colleague lost their life in a workplace incident in our Infrastructure division. We are co-operating fully with the investigation by the authorities, and are committed to learning the lessons from this fatal incident. This tragedy only serves to strengthen our resolve to send our people, and all those impacted by our activities, home safely at the end of every day.
