Happy 5th Birthday to our Repairs Team!

The North Wales Housing Repairs Team celebrated their 5th birthday in December 2015. The Team had a little birthday party to mark the occasion, celebrating over tea and cake on Friday 15th January 2016.

The Repairs service was previously contracted out. When the contractor went out of business in December 2010 North Wales Housing decided to bring the service in-house saving 8 jobs just before Christmas.

The Repairs team have since gone from strength to strength, now employing a team of 20. Five of those originally employed are still with us today. Andrew Adderley, Allan Jones (also known as yam yam), Eddie Maitas, Kevin Wood and apprentice John Jones who’s now a fully qualified Gas engineer. They have also moved into a new home in Hadley, Conwy.

The Team further boosted its team with 10 new skilled recruits as services expanded to include planned maintenance in November 2013, working to install replacement kitchens and bathrooms. 2014 saw the launch of Rakes and Ladders, an in-house grounds and maintenance team.

Happy Birthday Repairs, here’s to another 5 years and further growth!
