Spring 2014

It's spring - let's hope it brings some sunshine!
A lot has been going on at Danford, Brewer & Ives since the start of the New Year.
Some of us have been down to the Triton Head Office in Dartford to attend training courses recently. Between them, they completed courses in:
Isola Cavity Drain Systems, Triton Waterproofing - The Use, Application and Installation.
Triton Chemical Damp Proofing, Timber Preservation and Associated Products - The Use, Handling, Application, Health and Safety, PPE, and COSHH.
A bit further north, we have been very busy with damp proofing and basement works, as well as a flurry of reroofing jobs since the storms at the beginning of the year.
The guys have also found themselves in South Yorkshire, Merseyside, Lancashire, and Derbyshire carrying out a variety of building works for a nationwide shopfitting firm, including structural alterations, concreting, paving, access ramps, and making changes to shop fronts.
New recruits and changes of personnel:
We have said goodbye to Gilly, Owen, Michael and Yvonne, who have moved on to pastures new, and we wish them all the best for the future.
Say hello to our new recruits; Audrey Wood - Administrator and book keeper, Mike Gilman - previously a construction tutor at Harrogate College, now working for us both on site and in the office, Jimbob Hinchliffe and Karl Brown - experienced plasterers who will be carrying out more of our damp proofing works, and Lee James - builder and ground worker. Dan Ash has started this week as an office apprentice, to help in our increasingly busy office, and will attend college to further his development in Business Admin.
