Quinns M&E is delighted to announce the expansion of the company’s Construction Team, with the addition of two new employees, and the progression of the construction team’s first Apprentice who is moving onto his second year at college.

Luke Denton continues to act as the player-manager, so to speak. His role is primarily to project manage and organise the team, but also to continue to undertake his carpentry works.

New to the team are Garry Beardsley, who is a plasterer by trade but possesses a full range of building skills, and Richard Neate, who is primarily a flooring contractor but again provides a wealth of experience in general building work.

Lewis Russell will continue his work towards his full carpentry qualifications.

In March this year, Quinns achieved the FIRAS certification for the company’s electrical and mechanical teams. The voluntary, third-party certification scheme promotes good practice for the installation and maintenance of passive fire protection products and provides reassurance to customers that fire protection installed by Quinns is correct to specification and will provide the required level of fire protection.

With the Construction Team now also accredited by FIRAS, any preparatory or remedial works that may be required for these jobs can now be carried out in-house by Quinns.

Kris Quinn, Managing Director commented, “This new string to our bow means Quinns can offer complete building refurbishment packages, which is something we have been working towards for almost 18 months. The team has made a flying start, having already undertaken projects in educational buildings and veterinary practices.

We are delighted to have two such experienced people join the business and look forward to sharing future successes from the Construction Team.”
