Month: March 2017

University of Kent student, Rebecca Smith, joined our team at the Canterbury Journey project to get some first-hand knowledge to help with her Archaeology and Classics degree.

Thank you to the Cathedral’s archaeologists and Head of Conservation, Heather Newton for an informative talk and tour of the cathedral conservation works.

For more information regarding our Canterbury Journey project can be found here.

Construction has started on our latest Kent County Council school project.

The extension of Brent Primary School will provide a total of 8 new classrooms, two group rooms and a hall. The new energy efficient building is replacing an industrial looking canteen building from the 1940s, which was in a poor state of repair and was expensive to heat due to its poor insulation.

Congratulations to Mark Lawford on his promotion to Small Works Manager.

Mark has been with Coombs since 2002 so will be a familiar face to our customers. He takes over the role having assisted in the running of the department since 2013.

Mark will be supported by Darren Needham in the position of Small Works Contracts Manager. Again, Darren is well known by many of our customers having worked for Coombs for over 23 years in a variety of roles including Joiner, Carpenter and working within our Major Contracts team.
