William Skinner & Son Announce Latest Outstanding Driver Award

William Skinner & Son of Ayrshire in Scotland and Cambridgeshire in England have announced the latest winner of their Outstanding Company Driver Award.

The winner is Jim Graham (39) who has worked as a Roofer with William Skinner & Son’s Roofing Division since February 2004.

Jim received a cheque for £100 from managing director Sandy Cunningham.

William Skinner & Son are approved Sika Trocal single ply roofing membrane installers. The company’s experienced and highly skilled operatives carry out a range of schemes from small repairs to major installations on very large buildings. They are also trained to apply the Kemper roof repair system, and frequently supply and fix ward decking systems in conjunction with roofing works.

Clients include some of the UK’s largest retailers and property companies as well as the public sector.

By working with the manufacturers William Skinner & Son are able to offer solutions to all flat roof waterproofing problems.

Commenting on the company’s latest Outstanding Driver Award, managing director Sandy Cunningham said: "William Skinner and Son is rapidly becoming a UK-wide company. In addition to our headquarters in Ayr, our Southern Division based in Meldreth, Cambridgeshire is progressing in line with the targets we have set.

"We operate a fleet of 45 vehicles, and their livery forms an important part of the image that we as a company present to the public.

"We therefore make a conscious effort to keep our fleet in a safe, efficient and clean condition at all times."

Sandy Cunningham continued: "We are also aware of our obligation to contribute towards a healthier environment, and we see our Outstanding Company Driver Award as being part of this obligation, as it provides our colleagues with an incentive to maintain their vehicles in optimum condition, and to drive them in the safest and most fuel-efficient manner.

"A useful by-product of this is that we also keep our overheads to a minimum, making William Skinner & Son an even more efficient business organisation."
