Michael and his management team are determined to promote the perception of the trade industry and regularly host work experience students and carpentry apprentices with a view to creating a future brimming with talented tradespeople.

Michael is a founding director of The Sustainable Builders Alliance, which has been created to drive real change, spread practical knowledge and create a community of informed builders, designers, trades and professionals, to lead the construction industry to a carbon neutral sustainable future.

The definition of reliability – rain, hail or shine… literally. You will find Luke first on site and often last to pack up as his dedication stretches far beyond his uber neat tool trailer and exceptional caulking skills.

Luke has a sincere attention to detail with a quiet and determined nature that is reflected by his outstanding craftmanship. He is a true asset to our team and to our industry as he educates the next generation of apprentices by nurturing their skills and development.

Everyone needs a Luke.
