Timberwise is marking a significant achievement after taking home a major accolade at the Property Care Awards.
The Cheshire-based organisation, which has steadily expanded its presence across the UK, emerged as the winner of the Training and Development award during this year’s ceremony.
Held at Old Trafford and celebrating its fifteenth edition, the event organised by the Property Care Association (PCA) awarded nine honours across three categories, acknowledging exceptional contributions from members throughout the past year.
As a trusted and longstanding member of the PCA, Timberwise received the Training and Development award for its sustained investment in professional development across its surveyors, technicians and office teams, as well as its training services for external partners.
Timberwise had also been shortlisted for the Health and Safety award within the Project Awards category and received a Highly Commended trophy for its submission.
Commenting on the Training and Development award, George Edwards, CEO of Timberwise, said: “Our win for the Training and Development award has once again proven that the PCA recognises our steadfast commitment to developing our team, equipping them with the skills to work to the highest standards on site, in the office, or wherever they might be. But it is not just technical training we want to encourage at Timberwise. Professional development and making sure our team feels encouraged to progress in their own career is just as important.”
Reflecting on the Health and Safety recognition, George Edwards added: “Our nomination for the Property Care Association Health & Safety award is something I am immensely proud of. It is a sure sign that the measures we have in place as a business are working, and that is not something we want to keep to ourselves. This acknowledgement by the PCA affirms that all the work we have done in recent years to make sure Timberwise is not only a leading force when it comes to the quality of our work, but also an industry leader when it comes to health and safety throughout the workplace, is paying off.”
The award highlights Timberwise’s continued commitment to expanding its CPD provision and supporting every member of its workforce to enhance their capabilities. Mr Edwards expressed appreciation for the company’s Training and Development team, Health and Safety representatives and the PCA for recognising the organisation’s dedication.
With origins dating back to 1968, Timberwise has become the largest family-owned specialist in property care in the UK, earning a strong reputation for its restoration and remediation expertise. While historically centred in the North West, the company now operates nationally and extended its services into Scotland in 2022.
Timberwise’s robust focus on health and safety and its ongoing investment in Continuous Professional Development ensure that all colleagues are trained to work safely and deliver consistently high standards. Its CPD seminars hold accreditation from both the PCA and the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA).
