Great to see Mids 2011’s recently be crowned league champions for the 25/26 season.

It’s been an honour to provide this talented young side with some sponsorship and we are looking forward to see how they progress next season.

A special thanks to Albert and the other coaches who have made us feel extremely included as sponsors this season, they are excellent ambassadors for the club.

An extra mention should go to them and all other volunteer coaches in grassroots football for keeping these teams going.

Well done to everyone involved 🏆

🎉 Celebrating 5 Years with David Brown 🎉
Lastly for 2026 we’re proud to celebrate 5 years of Dave being part of the team.
David joined the company with a wealth of experience already behind him, and from the very beginning he embodied the values, standards and ambitions that drive our business forward.
His meticulous attention to detail, broad skillset and consistently high standards make him an enormous asset to the company. Just as importantly, David has shown a remarkable commitment to passing on his knowledge and experience — helping to ensure the next generation continue to uphold the very best parts of our trade.
David, thank you for your hard work, professionalism and dedication over the past five years. Your impact on both the team and the wider business has been hugely positive, and we’re grateful to have you with us.
Congratulations on your 5-year milestone! 👏

🎉 Celebrating 5 Years with Halina Sloan 🎉

Moving onto our 5 years milestones and it’s time to celebrate 5 years of Hala being part of the business.

Hala initially joined us in a part-time bookkeeping role, but over the years she has become a hugely important part of our growth behind the scenes. As the business has evolved, so has Hala’s role — regularly being pushed outside of her comfort zone and continually rising to every challenge along the way.
Through hard work, determination and a fantastic attitude, Hala has adapted and developed an entirely new range of office administration and management skills, becoming a vital part of our day-to-day operations.
We are incredibly grateful that Hala stuck with it, embraced every new challenge, and continues to play such an important role within the company.
Thank you, Hala, for your dedication, resilience and commitment over the past five years — and congratulations on this fantastic milestone! 👏

🎉 Celebrating 10 Years with Ben Hopkins 🎉

Next up we celebrate 10 years of Ben with the company.
Ben joined us as our very first apprentice, and over the last decade he has grown into an invaluable part of the team. From day one, his attitude, work ethic and willingness to learn have stood out. He set the benchmark for all the apprentices that followed.

Forward-thinking, constantly pushing himself to learn new skills, and 100% reliable — Ben embodies everything we value as a business. His commitment, professionalism and drive have helped shape not only his own career, but also the culture of our company.
Ben, thank you for your hard work, loyalty and dedication over the past 10 years. We’re incredibly proud of everything you’ve achieved and excited for what the future holds.
Congratulations on this amazing milestone! 👏

Thanks to JW Valeting & Detailing for a great job valeting some of our work vans again last week.
Great service — highly recommended!

Another great job from Skye Blasting Services. Removing all the previous coatings ensures a stable surface for new paint, and achieves an unrivalled level of preperation.
