Birmingham-based building services specialist J S Wright has opened a new office in Bristol as it looks to expand across the UK.
The new base at Trym Lodge in Henbury Road, Westbury-on-Trym will be led by Bristol-born and bred Regional Director Tim Parnell.
Educated at Bristol Grammar School and a former Old Bristolians cricket and rugby captain, Tim has more than 30 years’ experience in building businesses.
Tim Parnell said: “I am looking forward to using my experience as a team builder in both the business and recreational fields to recruit local staff and work with local suppliers in the service of Bristol’s booming construction industry.”
Tim was previously a director of a not-for-profit community interest company in Bristol, which involved working as a client agent in enhancing the facilities and services for leading schools and academies across the city.
His management skills were nurtured as a director of his family firm Hurst Parnell, one of the UK’s leading independent fresh produce companies until its sale in 2003.
J S Wright Managing Director Marcus Aniol commented: “Tim has a proven reputation for building businesses, which makes him the ideal fit to take our business forward in the South West.”
He added: “The opening of our Bristol office marks the next stage in our growth as a national company and follows the successful launch four years ago of our London office, which is currently supporting a record £18million contract to fit out more than 400 new homes at Canary Wharf.”
J S Wright, which has its headquarters in Aston, specialises in the design and installation of mechanical and electrical services for the hotel, residential, social housing, student accommodation, leisure and commercial sectors.
The company, which is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year, was honoured two years ago at the national Heating and Ventilation Awards for its Outstanding Contribution to the Industry.
