Rainham has had long standing working relationships along the South Wales corridor, supplying, access, insulation and asbestos removal works to a variety of clients in the area since 2005. These have almost exclusively been discreet and larger scale projects where teams have been mobilised from outside the region and have involved a remote management team. With the huge growth in mechanical services and organic expansion across all delivered services the need arose to create a new regional home base.
The location of Newport was chosen in recognition of an existing customer base and the ease of access from Newport to cover South Wales and South West England offered by the M4 and M5 motorways. In 2019 Phil Thomas, with whom the company had worked previously at Aberthaw and Didcot, was appointed Regional Manager and set about recruiting local resources in South Wales, Avon, Devon and Cornwall. Phil has been joined by Craig Vrettos and Neil Young in Mechanical Operations with Craig Elshaw and Gareth Hopkins providing SIP Operations. A big Rainham welcome to everyone in Newport and beyond.
One of Phil’s first steps in supporting the wider community has been to sponsor a local Rugby Club Nantgaredig RFC, we hope to keep you informed of their progress in National Division 2 West when play is able to resume after COVID19. https://nantgaredig.clwbrygbi.cymru
