🏗️ Major Roof Works completed in Lytham St Annes 🏗️

Rowan are pleased to announce the successful completion of another major re-roofing project with all works completed accordance with the required Building Regulation standard, with the project successfully delivered two weeks ahead of programme and under budget. ✅

The works were completed by JW Kenyon Construction Limited, with Stuart at Rowan taking on Principle Designer duties under CDM, project design and contract administration.

One of the owners has kindly left the below review following on from the works: “Stuart Winstanley at Rowan today signed off on our 24 apartment, quarter of a million pound roof replacement. From start to finish he along with all the staff kept the job on schedule and even ended up finishing 2 weeks early. What a professional team! On behalf of all our Residents, thank-you so much.”👏

A fantastic result for everyone involved, a big thank you to Stuart for all his hard work, JW Kenyon for delivering the works to such a high standard and Amy the property manager for coordination / management throughout.

Another successful project! 🏢🔨

BRINGING TWO NATIONAL AWARDS BACK TO LANCASHIRE & CUMBRIA 🇬🇧

🥇 Residential Managing Agent of the Year (2,000–5,000 units)

🥇 Customer Service Individual of the Year – our fantastic Property Manager, Amy

We're delighted to share that last night Rowan Apartment Block & Housing Estate Management won both awards we entered at the ACE Awards – the UK's leading residential property management awards. As a local business with small offices in Kendal and Lytham, serving clients across Cumbria and Lancashire, we were competing against some of the leading firms in the country, most of these based in the London area with massive budgets. With a rigorous judging process and a record number of entries, to win both categories we entered we were absolutely blown away.

This was our first year entering the awards, making the result even more special.

A huge thank you to Amy and Gillian for representing Rowan so brilliantly on the night, to our amazing team whose hard work and genuine care and attention in everything they do made this possible, and to all our clients for their support and wonderful feedback.

We're incredibly proud to be a growing Northern business and to bring these awards back to Lancashire and Cumbria. 🎉
