From box room to Battlefield - Point1 Building Systems reaches a ten year milestone.
This week we were delighted to be featured in the Business pages of the local press - The Shropshire Star - you can see the article by clicking the link below with further information below:
Point1 Building Systems became a Kingspan TEK™ Delivery Partner in 2013. From its early beginnings in the box room of Garrys house to a subsequent location in Burton-on-Trent when later the business put down solid roots in Shrewsbury. In 2018, they established their own premises in Knights Park, which is situated on the Battlefield Enterprise Park in Shrewsbury.
Since its inception, Point1 Building Systems has successfully supplied and installed over 200 projects across the UK. These projects include a variety of new homes of differing size and design, including several Passivhaus developments, as well as commercial and educational projects. The company prides itself on its commitment to high-quality workmanship and complete client satisfaction.
The company's directors, Garry Dyke and Nick Jones, have extensive backgrounds in the building and construction industry. Garry has more than 30 years of experience, starting from the shop floor and working his way up to become a builders' merchant manager. His involvement with building systems began with designing and selling floor joist systems, eventually leading a design team. In 2004, Garry started working with Kingspan and recognized the significant performance benefits of TEK, an offsite manufactured building system. Kingspan subsequently opened a manufacturing facility in Yorkshire and established a delivery partner network. Seeing the opportunity, Garry founded Point1 Building Systems, which became a Kingspan Delivery Partner from its inception.
Nick, is a qualified joiner and carpenter with over 20 plus years of experience in on-site woodworking and modern construction methods, particularly SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels) and timber frame technologies. He worked for a timber frame manufacturer before joining Kingspan's design and management department, where he expanded his understanding of SIPs' structural and thermal capabilities. After four years of working together, Nick and Garry joined forces in 2014 to establish Point1 Building Systems.
It's a reflection of hard work and dedication that has seen the team progress from just Nick and Garry to the 10 strong team we are today working from our base in Battlefield, Shrewsbury. To achieve this, over the years they have expanded the team with experienced in-house contract and project managers, as well as construction professionals and tradesmen who work closely with the company on a sub-contract basis. Tight project control is maintained to ensure the delivery of exceptional results not only with the projects we build but with the business Point1 runs.
We look to forward to the next ten years with anticipation as more and more people recognise the benefits of Kingspan TEK™ SIPS off site construction which Garry and Nick recognised all those years ago!
