Significant project
Notably , Aston Group has commenced a £ 3.8
million retrofit project , which Julie is keen to discuss . “ This project involves a deep retrofit of a 40-flat hostel that is of particular interest to the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero ( DESNZ ). Recently , the DESNZ approached the council , asking for resident feedback , as projects of this nature don ’ t come to fruition through wave one funding very often and they want to ensure the residents are pleased with it . I believe that the complexity of this project and our willingness to undertake it is what makes us unique in the industry . With everything progressing smoothly and the works expected to be completed in April , this project serves as a

Growth and adaptability
Alan reveals what Aston Group ’ s 60th anniversary means to him . “ Contracting is a tough industry and there have been many companies falling by the wayside over the last six decades and during my 34 years working at Aston Group . I believe that one of the reasons we have remained successful is that we have been flexible in our approach to managing the business and are highly adaptable . We started out as a central heating company and did that for a long time until we ventured into commercial heating . Our success in this area opened new opportunities and from 2010 onwards , we were invited to undertake gas servicing works . Subsequently , we managed several other projects , notably for Waltham Forest Council and L & Q , where we were responsible for managing multiple M & E contracts as part of their frameworks . Diversification truly helped grow the business . If we hadn ’ t gone down that road , I think Aston Group would certainly be a lot smaller today . In essence , what this anniversary represents to me is our journey of growth and adaptability , done without compromising on our core values which is difficult for a lot of companies to achieve . Our staff – including Julie and myself – are driven by a strong desire to conduct their work in the best possible way . This commitment to excellence is ingrained in our business DNA , empowering us to attract and retain workers who share the same mindset .
“ Lastly , this anniversary serves as a reminder that no matter how much we have grown , we have maintained our commitment to affordability , reflecting our caring nature .
