About from company website
B. W. May & Son was founded in 1960 by Bert May and his son Len May, later joined by Bill Chapell (Carpentry & Joinery) and Terry Upton (Brickwork) to form B. W. May & Son Limited in 1971.
This collaboration allowed them to pool skilled operatives and focus on the housing sector. Under the leadership of Managing Director Andrew Spice, who joined in 1988, the company has expanded its operations, including an in-house joinery workshop, and now employs approximately 70 staff. The company's primary strength lies in its directly employed workforce, ensuring better control, quick mobilization, and superior quality. This commitment to maintaining a high-quality workforce, rather than relying solely on subcontractors, is particularly valued by key clients with rigorous employee vetting processes. B.
