The end of an Era
8 January 2018
Directors Mr Frank Cleary and Mrs Marlene Cleary have retired!
Advanced Maintenance UK Ltd was founded by Managing Director Mr Frank Cleary & Technical Director Mr David Jones in 1998 to provide heating and plumbing services in the Berkshire area, initially set up in the home of Mr Cleary.
After purchasing Unit 2 Chiltern Enterprise Centre the company continued to expand, over the next 12 years the company hiring more office and engineering staff. In June 2010 Lead Engineer Ricky Gale was promoted Operations Director.
Over the next 7 years the company purchased Units 3 & 4 Chiltern Enterprise Centre and following a large refurbishment our 13 strong office team now, now almost in it's 20th year Advanced Maintenance UK Ltd has expanded the services it offers, and now provides installation and maintenance services in the plumbing, heating, air-conditioning, electrical, ventilation, lightning protection, gutter cleaning and renewable energies sectors.
To thank Mr & Mrs Cleary for all they have done to make Advanced Maintenance UK Ltd the company it is today, a goodbye drink was held at The Bull in Theale at the end of December 2017. Many of the staff were there until the late hours to say their farewells and to present them with our parting gifts. We wish them all the very best in their retirement and hope they pop in from time to time.
The company is now led by Operations Director Ricky Gale & Technical Director Mr David Jones supported by the General Manager, Lead Accountant and Quality Assurance Manager.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from all of us at Advanced Maintenance UK Ltd!
Today, the team at Advanced Maintenance UK Ltd had the privilege of participating in Denefield School's Careers Day 2024. This event provided a unique opportunity for us to engage with bright young minds and share insights into the dynamic field of plumbing and maintenance. This year's event was particularly special for us as it allowed us to connect with students across all year groups and inspire the next generation of professionals. Our Director, Ricky Gale, led the charge, supported by Operations Manager Tony Williams, Accounts Assistant Donna Endean, and Quality Manager Kellie Pickett. Each team member brought their unique expertise and passion to the event, creating an enriching experience for the students. Throughout the day, the team engaged with students in meaningful discussions about the path to becoming a plumber. One of the most exciting aspects of our discussions was exploring the future technologies that await the next generation of plumbers. We delved into advancements such as smart plumbing systems, sustainable materials, and innovative tools that are set to revolutionise the industry. These technologies not only promise to make plumbing more efficient and environmentally friendly but also open up new avenues for innovation and career growth. A highlight of the day was the hands-on experience with the press gun, led by Tony and Ricky. The students' excitement and the brilliant results they achieved demonstrated the value of practical learning. A big thank you to Denefield School for the opportunity to participate in this inspiring event. The event not only allowed us to inspire young minds but also reinforced our commitment to community engagement and professional development. Engaging with the students and sharing our knowledge and passion was a rewarding experience for our team. Community engagement events like these are crucial for building a brighter future and fostering the next generation of leaders and innovators. We look forward to future collaborations and continuing to support the leaders of tomorrow. Together, we are building a brighter future.
