Our Commitment to Health and Safety

As a professional industrial and commercial three-in-one contractor, working at height is our most common residual safety risk. We cannot stress enough how important health and safety are to us.

Quite frankly, it is the backbone of our organisation and the rock-solid foundations we’ve successfully built our business on. We appreciate that this can come at a cost, but at the same time, you are getting excellent value for money for a specialised service that cuts no corners and does everything by the book.

We do this to protect the well-being of our workforce and maintain our first-class reputation as a diligent contractor that provides a high-quality service both on and off the building site. This is reaffirmed by our continued success in the NFRC’s annual roofing awards, where we have been year-on-year winners of their Gold Award since 2016.

Our involvement and support with the RMA has grown over the last few years and has included mentoring former Royal Marines in their businesses offering experience or just a friendly ear.

 

With many of our employees previously serving in the Royal Marines, including our Founder and Director Jamie Gibbs, we endeavour to provide employment opportunities to help other former Royal Marines re-adjust to the lifestyle of a UK civilian.
