Through this strategic diversification of its services, Bell propelled its growth to new heights.“ Our growth from 1988 to today is reflected in next year’ s forecasts, which project a turnover of £ 270 million. Approximately 60-to-65 percent of that work will be delivered by our own trades teams, with the remainder subcontracted to specialists. Presently, our self-delivery teams cover a wide range of trades. While painting and decorating remain a core part of our business, accounting for around one third of our turnover, we also handle significant work in carpentry. Each year, we also complete around 2500 kitchens, with kitchen and bathroom contracts forming a substantial portion of our workstreams. Additionally, we undertake numerous other services like window and door replacements, facades, as well as gutter and roofing work, the latter being our second largest workstream after painting and decorating. A sizable chunk of our turnover also comes from passive fire protection, much of which involves remedial work following the tragic Grenfell Tower disaster and the subsequent introduction of the Building Safety Act. We predominantly deliver these trades in public sector services, conducting a lot of work in social housing, with the local government, MOD, healthcare, and education,” Craig informs.
