2017 - WW Martin Celebrates 140 Years
Established in 1877 and based in Kent, WW Martin has a strong history and an excellent track record in the construction industry. Over the last 140 years, the business has successfully worked on a multitude of projects for a multitude of clients. Based in Kent throughout this time, we are proud of our business and we are delighted to celebrate this milestone.
As we look forward to the year ahead, 2017 will see us continue our work on multiple sites throughout Kent and the South East. We will be starting and completing a variety of new build and refurbishment projects for our strong client base. Please see our project pages for more details.
2017 also marks our first season as a new main sponsor for Kent County Cricket Club, for whom we wish the very best of luck for the year. Our sponsorship for 2017 also includes our support of Ramsgate FC as well as many other local clubs and charities; maintaining our commitment to supporting the local communities in which we work. Please see our news pages for more details on each of these.
Fundamental to our business over the last 140 years has been our staff. We recognise this and continually invest in our people as we look to continue the traditions of our business. The last 12 months has seen us welcome a number of new staff to the team at WW Martin, helping us to strengthen and enhance the knowledge and skills we offer. We also continue to identify and offer people the opportunity to enter the industry, taking on 6 apprentices at the end of 2016, ready to develop in 2017.
Finally, we are planning a number of special events in 2017 to mark our 140th year and very much hope many of our industry colleagues and friends willl join us at these events to help us celebrate the year. More details of these events will follow in due course.
Thank you to everyone who we have worked with and who has helped us achieve 140 years.
Very best wishes for 2017 and beyond.
