Jane Creighton promoted to WMS Contracts Manager!

Jane started her journey with WMS in January 2022 as Contracts Supervisor, overseeing and delivering multiple small works and response services projects. Quickly demonstrating her skills, industry knowledge and professionalism Jane has been an integral part of the WMS Somerset Office's continued development and growth.

Jane started working in the construction industry alongside Area Manager Chris Snell back in March 2014 and during her career has developed a great knowledge and understanding of the industry. The promotion to Contracts Manager is recognition of Jane's consistent hard work and commitment.

Chris Snell said “I could not be happier for Jane, amazing achievement. Jane and I started working together some 11 years ago now. The acknowledgment and promotion to Contracts Manager is well deserved. Amazing for Jane and her career development, but also great to see a female smashing it in what is a heavily populated male industry. Well done Jane!”

WMS CASE STUDIES

WMS make significant progress on new admin facility at North Devon District Hospital!

We're pleased to let you know that our latest works to develop a new admin facility at North Devon District Hospital (NDDH) are making excellent progress.

The new development - known as Yeo View - will provide new, modern, compliant workspaces and facilities for groups of staff currently based in Chichester and Munro Houses, which are soon to be demolished to make way for new staff residential accommodation.

The development is a major first step in the Our Future Hospital (OFH) programme, which promises to build a better hospital in North Devon by rebuilding the staff and patient facilities in most urgent need of upgrade.

The new workspaces at Yeo View, and later development of modern residential accommodation for staff, will ensure NDDH create a great place to work, boosting recruitment and retention. Yeo View and the new residences are the first of a series of phases to create the space needed for the new clinical buildings we plan to build later in the programme, which will transform patient care for local people.

Yeo View will provide 64 workstations, 3 meeting rooms, and comply with all modern building standards. The Yeo View building is due for completion in October 2024, and work continues at pace.

We're pleased to share just how much progress has been made over recent months in the below timelapse video, which captures the daily activity onsite. Please click on the link below to watch.

Nearing completion of an extensive bathroom installation programme covering 3 counties Jane and her team of Paul, Owen, Jack, Tony, Dylan, Joe and Dan have gone above and beyond on this one - which is becoming a bit of a habit with the team in WMS Somerset!

Managing a contract of such a scale whilst liaising with sub-contractors, the client and residents to ensure smooth delivery is no mean feat for Jane and her team who are quickly building up a reputation in Somerset as the go to contractor, quite frankly resident and client feedback has been exceptional.

Please see some notes of thanks and before and after images, they speak for themselves!

More great work from a great team, a credit to WMS!


Customer Feedback

"Hi Jane, I wasn’t too sure who to message but just wanted to say what a fantastic job Paul and Owen have done on my bathroom. It looks amazing and they kept me informed all the way through with what needs doing and we’re very polite and courteous in my house. Honestly can’t praise them both enough and they were very apologetic about the electrician issues but hopefully that will be sorted by Thursday now.

I just wanted the company know that they have two very good workmen and thought they should be recognised for the work they have done at my property.

Kind Regards

Pippa"

 

"Thank you WMS for replacing my bathroom, which is looking beautiful. Thank you to Jane who help me get what I needed, thank you to the to everyone who have been doing the electric and flooring and the biggest thank you to two wonderful guys Owen and Paul who are very polite and hard working. They went above and beyond to make sure all it’s done as I wanted. They work very well together and I would 100% recommend them to anyone. 

Thank you, Liz. "

Testimonials

"I understand your team are finishing up this week and I just wanted to send some feedback through about how much of a pleasure it has been having them work outside for the past 7 months. Everyone has been so friendly, polite, clean, quiet, and courteous what an excellent team of workers you have.

A special mention to Reef. What a lovely gentleman he is, he clearly has a very keen eye for attention to detail! What an absolute asset he is to your company. I can honestly say I think we will miss seeing the WMS vans turn up in the morning! Never did I think I would say that about having contractors working outside our house, but it has been a pleasure and the buildings new make over looks outstanding."
