Our Travels
Fijne Koningsdag!
RED has strong links with The Netherlands. Many of our clients are based there, and as a result we’ve enjoyed exploring the country as part of our work and for leisure purposes. We asked the RED team to each share a bit more about their favourite place or story from a trip to The Netherlands! Paul My favourite place is
Indian odyssey
As part of our ten-year anniversary celebrations, the RED team has picked out some of our favourite RED projects over the past decade. This month, Andy shares his memories of an epic adventure to India. Having always wanted to visit India, I was delighted to get the opportunity in March 2019. We headed to Pune on a mission to film
New generation spotted in the Lake District
One of the highlights of the year (post-lockdown) was a trip to Cumbria to see the first machines from the new generation of Hitachi Zaxis-7 excavators in the UK. Paul and Glenn saw DMJ Drainage’s two ZX300LC-7 medium excavators working on a stretch of the West Cumbria water supplies project in the northern part of the Lake District National Park.
Best of all worlds
Despite the lull in worldwide travel, the REDs are still working hard on a range of exciting projects for our clients. However, while his suitcase goes into temporary storage, we asked Andy Lynch to reflect on his top five global work assignments from his time at RED. No. 5 – Romania “I’m going to kick off my list with an
Movie of a lifetime
Although the REDs end up in some far-flung locations, they rarely get the opportunity to set off on a round-the-world adventure.

CHP, GHP and VPP – what’s it all about?
It’s great when our projects at RED bring us into contact with people who are making it their life’s work to make a positive difference in the world. In the energy sector, we’re all aware of the huge efforts being made across the globe in terms of clean energy growth and the desire (read necessity!) for power companies to increase
Take two for RED in Istanbul
In our latest blog, see how Andy and Jon fared when RED made a return trip to Istanbul Airport on behalf of our client Vanderlande. A colossal airport Napoleon Bonaparte once said: “If the earth were a single state, Istanbul would be its capital.” Fast-forward 200 years, and Istanbul’s reputation as a place where East meets West remains unchanged.

Vanderlande’s Spanish connection
Guess who was excited to return to Barcelona for the first time in 20 years since his beloved Manchester United won the Champions League and cliched an unprecedented treble in the Catalan city? Unfortunately for Paul, there was no return visit to the Camp Nou, despite the fact that Real Madrid were in town for a cup game in early
Tokyo highlights
RED visited Japan this autumn to shoot the first part of a promotional video for Hitachi. As part of the project, Kerrie and Jon visited four locations, and also got the chance to sample some of the capital’s highlights, not least an amazing view of Mount Fuji at sunset from the Tokyo Skytree! Many thanks to our new friend, Horii-san,
Back to Bavaria
We returned to the picturesque town of Weiler im Allgäu recently to do a final check of the customer magazine we produce for our client, HCME, before it goes to print. Seven language versions of this issue of Ground Control have been produced, showing happy Hitachi customers and their construction equipment in job sites around Europe. Many thanks once again
