Thomas Armstrong Support To Front Line NHS Hero's

During a recent discussion, the Management Team at Thomas Armstrong (Timber) Ltd. decided that we needed to show our support and appreciation to some of our local front-line NHS hero’s.

All the staff on the ICU wards at WCH are spending many long hours fully suited in PPE which must be uncomfortable, exhausting and the need to re-hydrate frequently is obviously a necessity.

Offering the availability to ‘grab and go’ a nice cool drink is our way of saying “we are here for you” and “ we appreciate everything you are doing to fight this virus”.

We would like to say a huge thank you to Caterite Food & Wineservice Ltd who answered our call for supplies immediately and organised the delivery with precision (we also suspect you gave us an extra special deal on the price).  Many thanks for your support and the staff at WCH also send their appreciation.

West Cumberland Hospital… please maintain the excellent work that you are doing to keep us all safe.  The whole community appreciates everything you are doing for us.

School Visit Inspires Pupils in Construction Poster Competition

Back in November 2019, Thomas Armstrong (Construction) Limited visiting Brunswick School, Penrith, to talk to the children as part of a 'safety on site' assembly.

This visit was in a join venture with Eden Housing Association where they talked about the rules, safety and dangers on a building site, including a visit from the loadall machine. Everyone involved had an enjoyable morning.

Following the 'safety on site' assembly, all the pupils were then invited to take part in a construction themed poster competition.  

Take a look at the fantastic winning posters which are now being displayed on our William Street site in Penrith where we are delivering 4 Houses & 3 Flats for Eden Housing Association. Congratulations to the winners who all received prizes.
