Bill Murphy, Chairman and Managing Director,
is proud to say, 'The company has always
affectionately but informally been known
as 'Browns of Wilmslow' and we very much
see this move as an extension of a long
and cherished history. In fact, as well
as naming the new office 'Bollin House',
we have also decided to replace our phone
number with a new one to reflect our heritage.
The new number is now 0845 500 1860 with
the last four numbers indicating the year
we were founded.'
The relocation of the business has full
support of the Group Holding Company,
Headcrown Plc, which has a consolidated
annual turnover in excess of £200m
and is one of the largest private construction
and property groups in the country.
It is also another step in the re-focusing
of the company on its core business of
high rise construction. This follows the
appointment of a new Construction Director,
Cliff Hawksworth, as well as the ongoing
and sustained commitment to quality management
and enhanced health and safety. Browns
has been awarded OHAS 18001, ISO 9001,
and most recently the environmental award,
ISO 14001. |

Headcrown Plc has recognised the strength
of Browns capabilities, track record and
brand by refinancing the business in order
to allow it to develop and expand its
existing markets.
Browns has the skills and experience,
the infrastructure and resources to meet
all its clients' requirements, with systems
in place to ensure projects proceed with
maximum efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Browns' unique on-site project management
system allows all site offices to be electronically
linked, enabling the fully trained and
qualified site personnel to quickly share
data.
As one of the oldest construction companies
in the UK, Browns has built a solid reputation
for quality and reliability since its
inception in 1860, and its list of recent
commercial, residential and retail projects
is a real testament to the company's dynamic
profile for 2007.
Bill Murphy cannot recall a more thrilling
time of change for the company: "A
new management team always brings a new
level of energy. Combine that with the
backing of our parent company and the
reputation we already enjoy for exceptional
quality build that outstrips client expectation,
and we have all the elements in place
to continue building on our worthy heritage." |
