Dale Building Maintenance Ltd have successfully completed a decorating project for BT at North Star House Swindon. The project consisted of decorating the steel beams to the external canopy of the main entrance. There were difficulties with the location so all works had to be completed out of working hours. The team; lead by engineer Clive Fuller worked efficiently to complete the project on time and within budget.

Dale Building Maintenance Ltd helped organise and sponsor a fantastic event last night to raise money for the Vale Cricket Club in Bridgend. There was a star line up for the question and answer session with welsh rugby great Ieuan Evans leading proceedings and firing the questions to current England forwards coach Graham Rowntree, Neil Jenkins part of the welsh rugby coaching team and Robert Howley caretaker Wales coach.

We were lucky enough to have the Grand Slam trophy present and this was a great success as anyone who had a photograph taken with the trophy had to donate money to Macmillan cancer.

We all wish Rob and the Wales team the very best of luck on their up coming tour to Australia and also Graham Rowntree and England on their tour to South Africa.

Dale support fundraiser for St Athan employee

Background

Just before Christmas 2011, our St Athan office received a call from Mark Desbois (Carpenter at St Athan) advising that his son, Chris (a bricklayer at St Athan) had been taken into intensive care over the weekend.

After numerous tests and an operation, it was found that Chris had a Brain tumour. He was operated on immediately. Unfortunately the tumour came back in early 2012. Once again he had the tumour removed, then started radiotherapy immediately to attempt to keep the tumours at bay.

After a few battles with infections and other side effects of the operations and treatments, the treatment appears to be working and Chris is now recovering.

Fundraising

Mark Desbois approached Leanne with one of the regular updates we had of Chris’ progress and it was suggested that we hold a fundraiser for Chris. After a meeting with Iwan Davies, Managing Director of Dale Maintenance, it was decided that we would do a raffle in conjunction with CarillionEnterprise, our clients in MoD St Athan.

After speaking to many people over the day or so to follow, it was evident that there was a great amount of support for Chris. Many people offered to donate prizes for the raffle straight away.

We were given the telephone number of Debbie Smith at RAF’s central registry at East Camp who kindly printed 1000 raffle tickets free of charge.

Once tickets were distributed between operatives and office staff at MoD St Athan, the money started coming in. Prizes were still being donated and we knew that the raffle was going to be a great success.

Over all we raised £1000 for Chris, plus an extra £9 when doing the final adding up!

We would like to thank all the people who bought tickets to help raise these funds for Chris, but also a special thanks to all those who donated fantastic prizes. To name just a few; Mark Hyett of CarillionEnterprise, John and Glen of C&S Tec, Highway and Industrial Equipment, Howdens of Barry, Toby Carvery at Rhoose, University of Wales Air Squadron, plus staff of MoD, DIO, C-E and Dale Building Maintenance Ltd.

Chris was awarded the money on Tuesday 8th May, along with his partner Toni, and to say they were overwhelmed is an understatement!

We would like to send Chris our best wishes for the future and hope he has a very speedy recovery.

Congratulations goes to Alan Lakeman who has recently retired from Dale Building Maintenance Ltd after 24 years of service. Alan started with Dale in 1987 before they were established as one of the leading providers of property maintenance in the South Wales and South of England.

Im sure Alan with have a happy retirement and we all at Dale wish him, his wife and his family all the best for the future. Iwan Davies Dales managing director had this to say about Alan:

“I personally thank Alan for all the hard work and service he has given Dale, for Alan to put his trust in Jeff and myself when he started with us, it means an awful lot. His humour will be missed in the office and we all wish him the very best of luck” Iwan Davies Managing Director.
