✴️10 years ago today, 25th September 2015 I decided to take the leap out of employment and start up a company of my own.

With worries of earning enough money to feed my growing family, paying all the bills and hoping I have enough continuous work load to keep me busy brought as much stress as excitement..

Well it was best decision I made. Over the decade I have built up the reputation that I set out to do, securing numerous contracts with nationwide company's, care homes, schools, top quality builders and private customers that have all been loyal and committed.

A huge thank you to all the sub contractors that have helped right from day one. Without a reliable and trustworthy team I couldn't have taken on such job's.

Lastly the biggest thanks to my supportive wife for always being understanding when out all hours quoting, working away, night shifts, sat infront of the laptop for hours but mostly for holding the fort at home with our three amazing daughters.

Here's to the next ten years of growth and innovation 💪

🔹️Devoran Exterior🔹️

Quick refresh on this exterior that we have previously done a few years ago. All woodwork finished in Dulux Trade Ultimate Opaque which is a high performance solvent-based exterior coating which produces a water-repellent satin finish.

Walls - Beeckosil External Mineral Paint System is a highly breathable exterior mineral based paint. Beeckosil is a silicification active paint, which results in superb durability, as it offers a full chemical bond to the substrate.

Thanks to the boys again 👏
