Last week, CEO George Friend and Sales Director Paul Tomkins joined by our Sales Executive Brody Moodley had the pleasure of attending the Building Engineering Services Association (BESA) Conference & Awards 2025, held at the Montcalm Brewery in London.

The event brought together leaders and professionals from across the building engineering services sector to share insights, celebrate innovation, and discuss the future of our industry.
The conference featured a range of informative sessions focused on key topics such as sustainability, digital transformation, workforce development, and the drive towards net zero. It provided an invaluable opportunity for our team to connect with peers, exchange ideas, and gain fresh perspectives on the evolving challenges and opportunities shaping building engineering today.
