Hello everybody!

As we near the festive period it’s always a good time to reflect on the year that is soon to pass, the reason for this is because it’s not often I stop to think about our achievements as I’m always thinking about what’s next.

Now I’ve had 5 minutes to think of everything it all comes flooding to you how much you’ve put in throughout the year, not only myself now but also the team.

From the beginning of this year we have gone from 2 employees to 7, we have expanded our fleet along with our services to accommodate this along with our platforms and systems in place.

We now provide services to 3 separate authorities with around 300 jobs being completed across the board from around the middle of the year, these works consist a variety of jobs including planned, responsive and general maintenance.

We have since moved premises to cater for our growth in which we duly hope to continue to do so.

This doesn’t all go without its challenges and myself personally have found getting the right team to be the biggest challenge, but as time passed we managed to get likeminded people on board willing to learn, adapt and essentially get the job done. The business wouldn’t be able to grow without a strong team in which I am grateful for all their efforts.

On the back of growth I always hoped we could give back in various ways, whether it be big or small.

We have provided a nursery with a small refreshed kitchen at the beginning of the year to brighten up the area.

Our business has offered and recently allowed current students to work alongside our joiners.

We have recently contributed roughly £400 for presents for kids whom otherwise may have nothing to open on Christmas Day.

As of this week we have formed a small memorial area for a local community to carry out their respects.

And finally we are proud to have sponsored a local sports team ready for the 2026 season!

All in all, it doesn’t feel like much has been achieved when the wheels are in motion however when we look back it’s been an incredible year, we hope there are many more to come and we wish you all a very Merry Christmas!

You may not have heard from us in a while however we are hard at it in the background.

As we grow and build as a business we focus on implementing a culture that reflects teamwork and trust which often allows us to get our heads together and throw ideas around.

This leads on to my next idea which the majority of people including myself don’t like to think about just yet.. this is of course Christmas!!

it’s something I’ve wanted to do in the past years and told myself if we can help at some point we would love to pitch the idea.

We would love to see if we can create a hub in which people can donate toys in good condition in order to provide a special day for children who are less fortunate.

We are working the final details out such as where we will donate these toys however I’d like to get the wheels in motion.

Happy Friday everyone!

We often have spells where we are active/inactive on social media & that is because we are always busy, however we are never too busy to say a big thank you to all of our current and past customers and clients.

As a business we are growing and evolving with the same mindset of producing quality work to our customers, with this in mind we couldn’t do it without our team also being on board.

With our growth we also get opportunities to give back to the local community & quite frankly it feels good to do so, a small contribution from us may seem small however the impact is far greater.

A short while back we reached out to a local community centre in Ashton due to a small kitchenette area needing a revamp & it most certainly did. We offered to remove the current kitchen and replace it with a new kitchen at no cost to the centre. We asked our supplier Howdens Haydock if they could help with reduced costing in which they offered discounts for the project.

As mentioned earlier, this was a small project for us however I’m pretty sure the knock on effect is much greater, giving the children and the staff something a bit more aesthetically pleasing is enough to put a smile on anyone’s face!

Apologies for the long article however some things are worth sharing and if I can’t say a thank you to my customers, clients and team then what do we turn up to work for.
