Working with Able Contracts for CBRE, Highview are very pleased to be mobilising this 415m2 roofing project in the heart of London’s bustling Covent Garden.

Starting on site in September, the re-roofing of these mixed-use properties will take place on Long Acre, a street lined with operational retail units, busy with pedestrians and London traffic.

Replacing natural slate tiles and completing the associated lead works, Highview will also be installing an area of Bauder flat roofing system.

“Delivering roof replacements on commercial London streets like these requires a high level of vigilance, organisation and a heightened awareness of safety management.

 

Fortunately, our operational teams handle scenarios like this every day and are among the most experienced and professional operatives in the trade. I look forward to checking in on their progress once this project is off the ground.”

 

– Terry Lake, Managing Director

Joining the team in July, Greg Williams, Commercial Director, enters Highview following a successful time at Wates.

Greg now manages all the commercial and financial aspects of all business units within the group, producing the relevant update reports to disseminate among the directors, giving clarity and advice, as well as assisting the operational team with order placements.

With 15 years of experience within the construction industry, Greg was once working as a qualified electrician, before naturally progressing into the commercial management of projects. Having worked for both Main Contractors and Sub-Contractors, Greg has extensive experience of Commercial, Residential and Education sector works.

“Following my appointment at Highview I am setting clear goals and objectives for the commercial and financial teams to implement over the coming months.

 

My aim is to successfully integrate these changes into the business by the end of September 2019 ready for our new financial year, this will enable us to improve the transfer of information within all other departments throughout the entire delivery process.

 

I’m looking forward to the challenges ahead and to making a real impact on the continued growth of this already successful business.”

– Greg Williams, Commercial Director

This addition to the Management Team at Highview signifies our commitment to resource our expanding workload, as well as our culture of hiring the best!

Work has just commenced at the Queensmead Shopping Centre in Farnborough, to complete a full roof replacement using a Langley Roofing felt system.

This £175k project was awarded to us by Orchard Build and is one of many recently secured commercial flat roofing projects at Highview.

“Working in operational commercial environments such as shopping centres, requires a consistently professional approach, with a heightened awareness of public presence.”

 

“This retail facility will be given a new lease of life with this refurbishment and we are excited to see the results of our efforts.“

– Greg Williams, Commercial Director

Having just been awarded this £275k project by Mulalley, Preston Park Primary School in Wembley becomes the latest in a long line of recent success for Highview within the education sector. 

Removing and replacing pitched roofing, flat roofing and also rainwater goods, this 19 week refurbishment programme will commence on site during the first week of August.

“It comes as no surprise to me that Highview is becoming the ‘go-to’ contractor for school roof replacement works of this type. Our team is very experienced in installations within education environments and they are especially aware of the importance of programme deadlines and their significance to school timetables. 

 

We look forward to continuing to undertake more projects of this nature.”

– Tom Titler, Operations Director
