We find out more from the firm’s Managing Director, Rory Fitzgerald, in the wake of it being recognised as Leading Specialists in Construction, Refurbishment and Maintenance 2021 - Hertfordshire in the BUILD Awards. PF Lewis is an established construction, refurbishment and maintenance specialist concentrating its skill sets over multiple sectors. With a proven ability to perform at the highest level, GPF Lewis has built strong relationships with its clients, consultants, and supply chain alike, allowing the firm to deliver on its commitments and to grow organically within the London and regional markets. Over the past 15 years since its inception, GPF Lewis has formed a dedicated, passionate and forward-thinking team who have a wealth of experience and industry knowledge which resonates through all that it does. This, along with the firm’s professional and personable approach, enables it to consistently fulfil its promises and takes great pride in every project that it undertakes. “Since our incorporation in 2006, GPF Lewis has demonstrated an evolution based on sustainable, year on year growth and profitability,” explains Managing Director, Rory Fitzgerald. “Throughout our history we have focused on providing high quality services to our clients, and I am proud of our reputation in our industry of being a company that delivers excellence.” Covering all sectors from residential to commercial, hospitality to healthcare and education to leisure, be it a full internal or external refurbishment or completely new build, GPF Lewis has the inhouse skill sets and abilities to surpass all of its clients’ expectations. From inception through to the finishing touches and a seamless handover, the company strives to ensure every project is delivered successfully, exceeding expectations on quality, programme and budget. No matter the scale of the service it is providing, the company approaches each and every project with the same degree of passion and is proud of what it does. It is this approach, and the dedicated hard work of the team, that Rory thinks has helped develop and grow GPF Lewis into what it has become today. “I believe our success is based on the quality of our staff and the plans for our future will rely on their detailed knowledge and experience,” he elaborates. “I am passionate about attracting and developing talented people which is a cornerstone of our strategy and is one of the reasons we invest so much in development and training programmes.” GPF Lewis has a significant influence over, and potential impact upon, the economic, environmental and social wellbeing of the G communities in which it operates. As a business it recognises and embraces that sustainability is fundamental in maintaining its commitment to meeting corporate responsibilities and the firm actively encourages all of its employees and supply chain partners to also embrace and meet their individual responsibilities to recognise that short and long term economic development can be achieved only through a responsible approach to social, environmental, and ethical issues. “I take pride in our achievements and the experience we have gained across every aspect of the business. Whilst our plans are ambitious, we recognise the importance of pursuing the right types of work that we can deliver with confidence and at the same time provide a challenge that inspires growth,” Rory enthuses. Recently, as a mark of its success, the company was bestowed with the prestigious title of Leading Specialists in Construction, Refurbishment and Maintenance 2021 for Hertfordshire in the BUILD magazine awards, and Rory firmly believes that further success will follow.
