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

PREAH's Facilities Management division has been on a remarkable path of growth this year, thanks to a combination of our newly-evolved office team's hard work and the skill and dedication of our FM engineers. This success is evident in a number of recent high-profile contract wins, made possible through the excellent customer service they provide and the high standards of workmanship they deliver for every client, existing and new. Our 10th anniversary year is proving to be a year of swift progression with lots to celebrate along the way - and there are still 5 months to go! Our People really do put the 'P' in PREAH. A huge thank you to everyone in the FM team for their part in PREAH's incredible 2024 journey so far. #facilitiesmanagement #teamwork #celebratingsuccess #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

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
