1st September marked a true occasion at MJS Group. Oscar joined our ranks as an apprentice dryliner, working under the stewardship of his dad, Ryan. This is not the first time a son, daughter or family member has linked up at work here but it is the first time a THIRD generation has worked for the company. Tony, former senior contracts manger worked for the business for over 25 years, many of you will remember him. Both his sons have spent time on the tools, Ryan continuing with us to this day and Liam carving out a championship winning career in swimming.

We are delighted to have Oscar on board with us and see him, and our other apprentices, flourish in the coming years.

This month saw the completions of the office refurbishment, combining two former individual offices into one lager open plan first floor whilst keeping the group floor separate with rest areas and multiple offices. It was nice to be working on this small project for our neighbours and fellow site contractors.

We are delighted to continue our working relationship with Elan on their lovely site in Ilfracombe, in North Devon. This next phase provides more work going into the second half of the year for our drylining division.

June sees the completion of the biggest part of the refurbishment works at St James’ Park, home of Exeter City FC. This month we have completed the main corporate room at the club where they hold the match day dining experiences for sponsors and VIP guests. This room received the new corporate colour scheme of Grey and White with the ECFC Red highlighted in the middle band around the room.

This new colour scheme has given the club a boost in visual standing and brought a professional and clean look the whole building. The room is also used for companies to undertake workshop days, business meetings and seminars. We are very much looking forward to seeing the rest of the building coming together.

May sees us receive the Contractor of the Month Award on our Wain Homes site, Molbrook in South Molton. Well done to the decorating team on site and Wiktor the contracts manager.

This month saw the addition of the tiling contract for customers Place For People on our current drylining site in Exeter. The fantastic progress made by our drylining team has seen Place For People award us with the tiling and bathroom contract on this development. Well done to our surveying team for securing this new contract.
