New branding, website and newsletter, bigger projects and a record turnover in the last financial year – it’s all change at St. Helens-based Longworth Building Services … except in some ways there’s no change at all: the North West’s leading building envelope contractor still offers the same unrivalled levels of quality workmanship, customer service and ground-breaking solutions!
Having built a reputation for being an industry leader, and with a team of master craftsmen in the use of the more traditional metal products, such as zinc, copper and stainless steel, the company has over the past 10 years extended its skills and expertise to cover the whole of the external building envelope, to the highest of specifications.
As a result, Longworth is today committed to delivering quality and value with health and safety as a top priority. It achieves this by asking itself one very simple question: ‘If we were constructing a building to serve ourselves as clients what would we want?’ The things that Longworth wanted were really quite straightforward, but for the most part unavailable in the market, such as a contactor that was completely loyal to its clients, its employees and free of product affiliation. Even though this seems obvious, it is the exception. Put simply, Longworth sits ‘on the same side of the table’ as its clients and it represent their interests exclusively.
Responsible for some of the most celebrated building development projects in recent times, Longworth operates throughout the length and breadth of the UK, providing specialist in-house teams equipped to assist clients with any aspect of a project’s development, from specialist manufacture systems to design, budgeting and project implementation. The company is well known for its exceptional customer support too, which has been achieved through continuous investment in training and certification of all personnel.
Furthermore, following an intensive two day vetting procedure, Longworth achieved ‘Accredited’ status under the Building Confidence Accredited Programme. Also known as Achilles, the scheme works to identify, qualify, evaluate, and monitor suppliers on behalf of major organisations worldwide. These services for sustainable procurement help create opportunities for business and reduce risk in the supply chain.
Longworth is committed to promoting sustainability. Concern for the environment and promoting a broader sustainability agenda are integral to the company’s professional activities and the management of the organisation. Longworth aim to follow and to promote good sustainability practice, to reduce the environmental impacts of all its activities and to help its clients do the same.
Longworth has a proven track record of working with all of the major UK developers to complete projects on time and on budget over and over again. In actual fact, the company is not only surviving the infamous global recession, it is thriving in it thanks to its ability to move forward and diversify. This, and experience and detailed market knowledge of customer needs, supplier skills, legislative and environmental drivers and the emergence of new technologies, have all contributed to the company’s current market standing.
Looking confidently toward further growth in 2011-2012, Longworth has set a benchmark for the industry; one that not only guarantees quality, service and value, but also honesty, integrity and innovation.
