It's British Safety Council : Men's Health Forum's #MensHealthWeek and at PREAH, we know how tough the job can be. Many of our colleagues work in challenging, physical roles and it takes strength to do what they do every day. But here’s the truth: men in construction are significantly more likely to face mental health struggles, or to take their own lives, than those in many other professions And yet, talking about it often feels like the hardest thing. This month, and every month, we want to send a clear message to everyone at PREAH, and across the industry: you are not alone. We care about our people. That’s why we offer a 24/7 GP service and a confidential Employee Assistance Programme, which includes anonymous counselling. But even more than that, we believe in the power of everyday conversations. We encourage a culture where it’s okay to not be okay and where support is always within reach. Mental health can shift from one day to the next. That’s why it’s so important to keep checking in - on yourself, and on your mates. A quick chat, a kind word, or just being there can make a huge difference. Let’s take care of each other. We’re stronger when we do. If you or someone you know needs a bit of extra support, there are fantastic organisations ready to help: Mates in Mind:  Supporting mental health in construction and related industries.

Yesterday afternoon, we held our latest Supervisor Meeting, bringing together our outstanding team of Construction Division Supervisors for another productive and engaging session. These meetings continue to play a vital role in keeping communication clear and open between management and our on-site leadership teams. As always, it was a valuable opportunity to share business updates, invite feedback, and discuss key developments across the company. We revisited ongoing initiatives and introduced an exciting new digital solution to streamline the way goods are received on our building sites. This marks another positive step in PREAH’s digital transformation journey - one that’s focused on making everyday processes smarter, more efficient, and easier for everyone involved. Thank you to all the Supervisors who took part. Your feedback, ideas, and continued commitment are what help us grow stronger as a team and deliver great outcomes on every project. #Teamwork #Communication #BetterBuildingServices

We had an absolutely brilliant evening supporting The Beatson Cancer Charity at the Mitie Sporting Dinner. As proud charity partners for 2025, we’re committed to doing everything we can to back the Beatson's vital work this year. A huge thanks to Mitie for hosting such a fantastic night, from the delicious food to the electric atmosphere and star guest speakers Jackie McNamara and Jimmy Nicholl, it was a night full of laughs, banter, and generous giving. Here’s a snap of our table soaking it all in; wine flowing, spirits high, and hearts open.

We’re delighted to share that PREAH has been appointed by our valued client, Clark Contracts, to deliver the full M&E installation for an exciting new project in the heart of Edinburgh City Centre.   The development involves the refurbishment of an existing building into a contemporary, seven-story Japanese-style pod hotel for TARKA Hotels.   We’re proud to be part of this innovative project that blends smart design, compact luxury, and modern engineering. We would like to thank Clark Contracts for trusting us with this opportunity - we can’t wait to get started!   #HotelDevelopment #Mechanical #Electrical #BetterBuildingServices

We are proud to share that we recently handed over the full M&E fit-out of a floor within an office building in South Gyle, Edinburgh. The project had to be completed while the floors above and below remained occupied, which meant some creative planning and tight coordination to ensure the neighbouring residents experienced no downtime.   We upgraded essential systems such as lighting, power, and data and installed complex mechanical solutions including new air conditioning and rooftop condensers, all done with limited drill-times and using alternative fixing methods in some cases, to keep noise levels as low as possible.   Collaboration between the PREAH team and that of valued client GM Projects (Scotland) Ltd was clear and efficient, enabling great teamwork between the mechanical and electrical teams - helping ensure we delivered the project on time and with minimal disruption.   Another proud moment for PREAH, where technical expertise met teamwork to deliver results for our client.   #Mechanical #Electrical #M&E #Teamwork #BetterBuildingServices

PREAH was proud to deliver the Mechanical & Electrical CatB fit out at 177 Bothwell Street, Glasgow - a modern, staff-centric space designed with wellbeing and productivity in mind. Our scope of works included: General electrical installation Bespoke and architectural lighting design Lighting control strategy Fire alarm system Structured cabling Multi-faith room sanitaryware Zip water heater providing both chilled and boiling water Commissioning of the boosted cold water system The result is a beautifully designed environment featuring breakout zones, meeting areas, tea points, quiet spaces, and stunning designer lighting — all aimed at supporting the people who use the space every day. This project was also a milestone for us as our first project awarded by our valued client MPACT Group. We’re grateful for the trust they placed in us and look forward to continuing our partnership. #BuildingBetterWorkspaces #Mechanical #Electrical #BetterBuildingServices

Yesterday, our team at PREAH had the opportunity to attend a fantastic training session hosted by our trusted I.T. partners, Aspen Solutions - Cyber Security & IT Support all about the evolving world of Artificial Intelligence and how it’s rapidly reshaping the modern workplace. The session offered incredible insights into how tools like Microsoft Copilot can streamline operations, boost productivity, and transform the way we work. We're excited to begin rolling out many of these innovations across our office-based staff, ensuring PREAH stays ahead of the curve in delivering smarter, more agile solutions for our clients. A huge thank you to Aspen Solutions – not only for the informative session but for continuing to be a valued partner in our digital journey. #DigitalTransformation #MicrosoftCopilot #BetterBuildingServices

The rollout of our rebranded fleet continues, with over 30 vehicles now on the road, representing our continued investment in quality, visibility, and operational excellence. This is more than a visual refresh; it’s a reflection of how far we’ve come, and the standards we hold ourselves to across both our Construction and FM divisions. In under 11 years, we’ve grown from a small HVAC-focused team into a thriving business of over 100 employees, on track for a £15M turnover this year. This fleet marks another step forward in supporting our people, serving our clients, and driving PREAH confidently into the future. #newfleet #rebrand #growth #betterbuildingservices

With warmer weather on the horizon (at last!), it’s a good time to check in on how your building systems are holding up. After a long winter, even well-maintained buildings can benefit from a once-over. Small issues that go unnoticed now can often lead to bigger problems later. We’re having more conversations with clients at this time of year about seasonal checks, energy efficiency, and making sure everything is running just as it should be. Our Facilities Management team work with clients to plan and deliver both routine and responsive maintenance. Our in-house team covers a range of trades including plumbing, electrical, air conditioning, and ventilation, so we can provide joined-up support across the full building services spectrum. If you’re reviewing performance or planning maintenance ahead of the warmer months, we’d love to be part of that discussion. service@preah.co.uk 01236 808 499 (Option 1) #FM #FacilitiesManagement #spring #betterbuildingservices

We learned yesterday that our recent fundraising efforts raised an amazing £8,520 in total, with £3,000 of that figure attributed to our Lee Davidson's head-shave and the remainder from our team's Kelpies abseil. We couldn't be more proud! And we are over the moon that this total will go to such a fantastic cause : The Beatson Cancer Charity. We had set ourselves a target of £10,000 raised in the YEAR - and we've achieved more than 85% of that figure in just our first two events and in our first two months! We must thank the incredible support received from everyone who donated, from the amazing staff at the Beatson under the caring watch of Charlene Low - and of course to the brave colleagues that gave up their time (and their hair!) to get so wholeheartedly involved. Thank you, thank you, thank you; from the bottom of our hearts

Today is a bittersweet day as we say goodbye and thank you to one of the most respected and experienced members of the PREAH team, Alex "Eck" Thorpe, who retires today. Eck, one of our Approved Electricians, has been a true character in the trade, and a vital part of our Electrical Team over the past year, working closely with colleagues Ross Johnston, Lee Davidson, and Mark Pate. One of Eck’s proudest moments has been his role in mentoring Mark, guiding him through his apprenticeship. It's only fitting that today, Mark's eligibility letter was signed to allow him to sit his trade test and become an electrician in his own right - a full circle moment that reflects the lasting impact Eck has made in this young man's career, as he steps down from his own. We had the pleasure of gathering in the office to bid Eck farewell, where he was presented with cards, gifts, and a cake (and a few, rare, rays of sunshine!). Eck treated us to an impromptu but heartfelt reading of a poem he had written, including the poignant lines: "I've lasted so long because my work pals have been good pals.", and, "Thanks again, PREAH, for rounding off my long career." Eck, you will be greatly missed. We wish you all the best in your well-deserved retirement - enjoy the next adventure! #Retirement #ElectricalExcellence #Mentorship #BetterBuildingServices

Today, on #InternationalWomensDay, we want to recognise someone who truly embodies the spirit of dedication, leadership, and positivity— Eileen MacQuarrie Eileen isn’t just a PA to the directors at PREAH Building Services—she’s a driving force behind so much of what we do. A true go-getter, she takes ownership of key projects and delivers them with precision, passion, and a positive attitude. Some of her standout contributions include: ✅ Leading the drafting of all new employment contracts for over 100 staff. ✅ Managing the procurement of our new 30-van fleet from start to finish. ✅ Organising charity fundraising events in partnership with Beatson Cancer Charity. ✅ Securing Capex funding from North Lanarkshire Council. ✅ Running PREAH’s marketing and social media presence (though she definitely didn’t know about this post

At PREAH, we care about the wellbeing of our team and our local community, which is why it gives us great pleasure to share that we recently installed a defibrillator at the entrance to our HQ office situated on the first floor of Campbell House, Greenside Road, Newhouse Industrial Estate near Hoytown, Motherwell. This important piece of equipment is now available for anyone to use in case of an emergency. Heart disease is the number one cause of death globally and, in the workplace, sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) can strike without warning. Around 70% of SCA victims collapse without any prior symptoms. The faster a defibrillator is used, the higher the chance of survival and when a defibrillator is used within the first 3 minutes of cardiac arrest, survival rates can increase by up to 70%. The construction industry has one of the highest rates of heart attacks and sudden cardiac events due to the demanding physical nature of the work. High stress, heavy lifting, and even extreme weather can all contribute to heart strain. Having a defibrillator nearby can literally save lives. According to the British Heart Foundation, nearly 30,000 people suffer from a sudden cardiac arrest outside of a hospital every year in the UK. Many of these incidents happen in public or workplace settings, highlighting the importance of having defibs available in as many locations as possible. We’re proud to take as many steps as we can to ensure safety and health in the workplace and not just for our team, but for everyone in the surrounding area. If anyone finds themselves in need, please do not hesitate - our defibrillator is here for you. #lifesaving #constructionsafety #healthatwork #betterbuildingservices

It is with immense pleasure on #NationalApprenticeshipWeek 2025, that we highlight our hardworking group of apprentices who are making an impact across a variety of trades including Heating & Ventilation, Plumbing, Air Conditioning, Electrical - and HVAC within our FM Division. As part of PREAH’s workforce of just over 100 employees, our 15 apprentices represent more than 14% of the team, which is well above the challenge set by The 5% Club, demonstrating our commitment to developing the next generation of skilled professionals. Here’s to the bright future of these trades and of our brilliant apprentices, pictured here gaining hands-on skills that will shape the future of the industry. We couldn’t be prouder to support them on their journey. #NAW2025 #Apprenticeships #BuildingTheFuture #BetterBuildingServices

PREAH has kicked off the New Year with a focus on Health & Safety. On our return to work today from our annual Christmas shutdown, we held our “January Stop for Safety” discussions at each of our live project sites. Our Site Management teams, including Directors, attended to welcome back our operatives and subcontractors and to stress the importance of safety as we resume work.   These sessions, including a review of the hazards to watch out for on returning to work after a break, are an excellent opportunity to engage directly with our teams and set the tone for a productive and safe year ahead. Director, Iain Hetherington, shared his thoughts on this long-standing tradition: “The January Stop for Safety is something I’ve personally championed for over a decade. It’s encouraging to see how engaged the entire workforce is, from management to site operatives. While January is often a time to set goals and ambitions, it can also be a challenging month for some team members. This initiative not only highlights Health & Safety but also focuses on wellbeing and checking in with one another after the holiday period.”   We are proud of the PREAH team for their ongoing dedication to Health & Safety and, together, we will make 2025 a safe and successful year!   #Health #Safety #Wellbeing #BetterBuildingServices

It's been a fantastic year for PREAH and we would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to everyone who has supported us on social media. We also want to thank our valued clients and partners, our subcontractors, every member of our supply chain and, most importantly, our dedicated and hardworking employees - every single one of you! - for your part in PREAH's 2024 story. You've heard it before, but we'll continue to shout about them; they're our greatest asset.... it is our people that put the 'P' in PREAH. We wish everybody reading this all the very best in health, happiness and success in 2025. #merrychristmas #happynewyear #BetterBuildingServices

We are pleased to share a significant milestone achieved on our latest M&E office fit out project in Edinburgh in collaboration with our valued client, GM Projects (Scotland) Ltd. The safe installation of several air conditioning condensers onto the roof of the building was executed seamlessly, with careful coordination to minimise disruption to the people inside.   A special thank you goes to our Site Supervisor, Stephen Bateman, and our dedicated supply chain partners for their support in ensuring this lift was carried out successfully. This accomplishment reflects our commitment to safety, precision, and, most importantly, client satisfaction.   #ProjectMilestone #Teamwork #BetterBuildingServices

We are pleased to announce the successful completion of three Farmfoods shop refurbishments. These projects, located in Duddingston (Edinburgh), Cumbernauld, and Coatbridge, involved significant electrical and mechanical works, contributing to the transformation of each retail space.   Project Highlights: Electrical & Mechanical Works: Our team has been responsible for the installation of lighting, small power, AC, ventilation, and minor plumbing. The work is carried out through a period of night shifts initially (to ensure the store remains operational each day), followed by day shift works during a short closure period. Efficient Turnaround: Each upgrade completed via a fast-track programme. Store Transformation: The upgrades result in a notable improvement in shop brightness and modernisation, energy efficiency and enhancing the overall customer experience.   This is a valued repeat contract with Farmfoods, showcasing our ability to meet tight deadlines and deliver high-quality results. We are proud to have contributed to the continued success of this partnership and we look forward to many more collaborations in the near future. #mechanical #electrical #BetterBuildingServices

These meetings play a crucial role in strengthening communication between management and our on-site operatives, who are the driving force behind our success. This regular dialogue helps all of us to stay aligned with PREAH’s values, work towards goals, tackle challenges, and ensure everyone feels heard and supported. By maintaining this open line of communication, we continue to strengthen our teamwork and ensure we’re all moving towards one common goal : the successful delivery of every client project. #Communication #WorkingCulture #BetterBuildingServices

It's Scottish Careers Week and we'd like to shine a spotlight on Michael King, Project Manager at PREAH. Starting as an Apprentice Heating and Ventilation Engineer, Michael’s journey has been one of dedication, growth, and ambition. From winning "Apprentice Welder of the Year" and receiving an award at the Scottish Parliament, to moving from the tools into Engineering and then into Project Management, he’s always pushed himself to go further. Since joining PREAH in 2022, Michael’s been involved in over 30 impactful projects - from Police Stations to Hotels, office refurbishments and even a Wind Farm. Earlier this year, he was promoted to Project Manager and has his sights set on becoming part of the Senior Management Team in the future. PREAH are proud of all their dedicated #employees and Michael’s story is proof that hard work and passion can lead to incredible career milestones. #ScotCareersWeek24 #CareerJourney #BetterBuildingServices

At the start of September this year, PREAH reached a key milestone on our major project, the stately 240,000 sq ft extension at the Egger UK plant at Barony, as their impressive new lamination line became operational. The new plant is now in full production and this is achievement is testament to the teamwork between the PREAH team, our client EGGER Group and the M&E designers Clancy Consulting. PREAH provided not only the mechanical and electrical installations, but the fit-out of the office and amenity areas on a turnkey basis, with the full scope of works including the partitioning, ceilings, tiling, decoration, IPS systems and the joinery work. We also worked hand in hand with the client in utilising a whole range of Egger products within the fit-out package itself. Some project highlights: Project duration - 20weeks Installed over 5000m of electrical Containment systems Installed 800 light fittings Installed 4200m of heating and cooling pipework systems We are still on site completing the final phase and look forward to providing an update on the overall completion of the project. #mechanical #electrical #teamwork #betterbuildingservices

PREAH are incredibly proud of the progress being made by our troop of Apprentices, including Noah Whyteside, one of PREAH's 2024 Apprentices working in our FM Division. Noah is pictured here replacing a gas valve for a radiant tube heater. These heaters help to keep the hangar at a constant temperature, so Noah had an important job on his hands! The scope of work included disassembly of the heater to allow access to the burner assembly, replacement of the gas valve while carefully following the manufacturer instructions. It's great to see our young trainees being hands-on, learning the practical side of their trade. #welldone #keepupthegoodwork #apprentices #betterbuildingservices

We are delighted to introduce you to PREAH’s 2024 Apprentices! Max, Adam, Noah and Jamie have all joined our valued team of operatives and are excited to be starting college in the coming weeks, where they will learn the technical element of their engineering skills. This will be augmented by spending plenty of time working on-site, under the care of our site supervisors, learning the practical side of the job. Max and Adam are Apprentice Heating & Ventilation Engineers, Noah is our first Apprentice HVAC Engineer to join our FM Team, and Jamie is an Apprentice Electrician. PREAH is a proud member of The 5% Club and we continue to exceed the expectation of 5% Apprentices within the workforce, with the current percentage being over three times that amount, at over 15%. We interviewed each new-start and every one of them aspire to become fully qualified Engineers, still working within the PREAH team in the next 5 years. We will certainly be doing all we can to ensure that dream becomes a reality. Please join us in congratulating these ambitious young men as they embark upon their career with PREAH Building Services.

It was PREAH’s 10th Anniversary on Tuesday 21st May and celebrations continued throughout the week, with one particular highlight being a visit to our Holytown office by North Lanarkshire Provost, Kenneth Duffy. Kenny and his team met with PREAH’s Directors, Gerry Savage, Iain Hetherington and Katrina Hamilton and enjoyed lunch with the office staff. Our apprenticeship program was a hot topic of discussion and we are looking forward to finding new ways to get involved with local schools and colleges and to support local young people moving into work. A special shout-out goes to the creator of the PREAH cake, Sarah Garvin of Cake n Bake, who is also based in Lanarkshire and was recently awarded a Pride of Scotland award. There is so much to be proud of! The entire team at PREAH is looking forward to the next 10 years which we know will be an even bigger success. #anniversary #betterbuildingservices #celebratingsuccess

This International Women’s Day, falling on Women In Construction Week 2024, we want to thank every one of our hardworking female colleagues, including Katrina Hamilton who is our longest-serving PREAH team member. For over 7 years, Katrina has been the go-to person that every single member of the PREAH workforce can depend on for her knowledge, insight and support in many different business areas including Accounts, HR, Admin and Management. It is due to her significant contribution to the business that Katrina was recently named PREAH’s Director of Corporate Resources – a very well earned and deserved promotion. Congratulations and thank you, Katrina, for all that you do for us, from your PREAH family. #WIC2024 #InternationalWomensDay #ThankYou #WomenInBusiness #BetterBuildingServices

It’s National Apprentice Week 2024 and PREAH are proud to have a number of ambitious Apprentices on their team. One of those team members is Ross Johnston, our first ever Apprentice Electrician. Ross has been an Apprentice for 3 months and splits his time between Cardonald College in Glasgow, where he works with containment and wiring, and on-site where he is currently helping with the fit-out of hotel rooms. Ross is chuffed to have got it right first time in college with some of his initial tasks and his lecturers are already very impressed with his progress. The Apprenticeship model keeps him motivated as he not only learns a trade but earns a wage while doing so. Getting paid for his hard work while learning new things gives Ross the drive to continue working towards becoming a fully qualified and time served Electrical Engineer, following in his father’s footsteps. #NAW2024 #betterbuildingservices #inspirational #apprenticeships

With National Apprentice Week 2024 fast approaching, now seems the perfect time to highlight the great work of The 5% Club. Members of this important organisation strive to achieve at least 5% of their workforce on apprenticeships, sponsored students or graduate training schemes.   PREAH Building Services recognises the value of training and mentoring our young people, who will build the future of our communities. We are extremely proud to confirm having already exceeded the 5% goal in 2024.   Read more about the 5% Club initiative – and join – on their website: www.5percentclub.org.uk   #betterbuildingservices #contractor #NAW2024 #apprenticeships

PREAH Director's and Management teams were on site bright and early on Monday morning, engaging with our site operatives and sub-contractors on our live projects. We take health and safety seriously at PREAH and a quick stop for safety discussion is always the best way, to kick start the year and have a good safety discussion on our projects. #betterbuildingservices #stopforsafety

#ThrowBackThursday to our last case study of 2023. In case you missed it, we recently supplied our #SanCeram sanitaryware range to The Northern Lighthouse Board’s headquarters in Edinburgh. Having recently undergone a major refurbishment, they required sanitaryware that promoted excellent user hygiene and looked to reduce their water consumption where possible. Installation and photos thanks to PREAH Building Services. Read the case study in full here https://lnkd.in/etmYxK_q #casestudy #sanitaryware #washrooms #project
