Frew Ltd
We last spoke with Roddy Frew , Managing Director at James Frew , in early 2023 , where he explained the company ’ s latest projects and significant investments into technology . However , since our conversation just over one year ago , the business has a fresh look , driven by a redesigned logo that modernises the brand while embracing over 113 years of tradition , heritage and excellence .
Roddy begins : “ Last year , we successfully rebranded James Frew with a fresh new logo to reflect our longevity , tradition , and evolution as a provider of market leading services . We ’ ve incorporated ‘ 1911 ’, the year the business was founded , into the logo , so that stakeholders instantly recognise our longevity in the industry . We believe our mission and values reflect our 113-year trading history and rich heritage , and the rebrand emphasises our traditions and milestones we have reached along the way , including the reliability we provide our clients . There is something to be said for hanging in there !”
He adds : “ The rebranding has also given us the opportunity to review our sponsorship arrangements . We signed a contract in the summer of 2023 to be the main sponsor of Kilmarnock Football Club ’ s first team which was the highlight of the year for many of our employees , and we are incredibly proud to watch our local team play with the James Frew logo on their shirts .”
Impressive portfolio
James Frew recently established a new office and depot in Greenock to serve current and future contracts . It will also help progress ECO4 funded projects , On Demand services like boiler installations and extensions , and of course , its flagship Home Plans by GasSure which cover homeowners in the event of central heating , plumbing and drainage , and electrical failure .
Roddy explains : “ We have a significant presence in Inverclyde and provide social housing gas service and maintenance support for Cloch HA , Larkfield HA , River Clyde Homes and Oaktree HA . In addition , we provide multitrade reactive maintenance services for both Cloch and Oaktree . We are fully committed to providing a first-class service to our customers in Inverclyde and our new premises supports our plans .”
Since our last conversation , there have also been further enhancements in terms of technological developments . Gordon Mack ,
