About

Commercial Builder | Office Refurbishment | Property Maintenance | Construction Project Manager | Constructionline Accredited | ISO9001 | Linkedin Open Networker Having worked in building construction, refurbishment, and maintenance all my life, and for the past 16 years as owner / MD of Worthy's Commercial Builders Reading Ltd. I have gained a wealth of commercial building, property maintenance, and commercial building refurbishment experience, in diverse sectors such as railways maintenance, to the incredibly controlled work required in refurbishing pharmaceutical facilities without disturbing the 'live' production environment. Most recently managing to ride the roller coaster of recent economic climes and its effect on the building and construction markets has proven challenging... However looking forward the outlook is somewhat brighter, not that the economy is looking any more healthy, more so that our early adoption of 'belt tightening' has worked, and without wishing to push my luck could consider using the 'growth' word again in future forecasting. At this point I would like to thank my loyal team, most of whom have been with Worthy's since I bought the company from founder and friend Vic Worthy in 1996; not only are they excellent tradesmen, but have accepted required cut backs without question, and thanks to their high standards of work, have ensured that Worthy's continue to over deliver to our clients... the keystone in the Worthy's ethos. Should you be interested in considering Worthy's for your next commercial building, building refurbishment, or property maintenance project, or maybe working for Worthy's please feel free to contact me directly, as I will be delighted to help if I can. Telephone 0118 970 0289.
