Horbury Group, a 1,000-strong Group providing construction solutions to developers, building owners, and main contractors UK-wide, has established a new trading company – Horbury Property Services – dedicated to providing facilities management, maintenance, and refurbishment.
Heading up the new division is Richard Sutton, who has been recruited as general manager, and has almost 30 years’ property services experience, including in senior management positions for a large regional M&E contractor, and, most recently, as head of service at Yorkshire Housing.
He said: “I am looking forward to developing this exciting new business and securing new opportunities in the commercial, local authority, education, and health sectors for our wide range of property services. We will be creating a number of jobs, and have already been successful in securing inclusion on a major national facilities management framework.”
Horbury Property Services’ services will include inspection, installation, repair, and maintenance, of fire doors, joinery works, fire stopping, sealing, fire compartmentation, fire alarm and emergency light testing, portable appliance testing, electrical testing and installation work, building fabric repairs, and external cladding and render repairs. The wider Group provides dry wall partitioning, painting and decorating, ceiling and flooring upgrades, and de-mountable screens.
