Well done, Austin!
Feb 15, 2023The staff toilet door at Butterworth Lane had come off its hinges and part of the laminate had come away, meaning that the staff couldn’t close the door properly.
Emanuel Whittaker Apprentice Joiner, Austin Hoy, kindly offered to re-fix the door hinges and glue the laminate back down too.
The staff were really gratful.
Well done, Austin!

Helping Hand
Feb 15, 2023Great Places resident, Mr Muirhead, asked Emanuel Whittaker Labourers, Crawford Nutall (pictured above) and Lee Barham, if it was possible for them to carry a large television and microwave down two flights of steps, as they were being collected by Manchester council refuge service.
The lads made a special visit early the next morning to make sure that the items were outside the property, ready for collection.

‘Ramped’ Access
Feb 15, 2023PNWHA Resident, David Crane, who lives at Rectory Green uses an electric scooter due to his mobility issues. His partner, Catherine Higginbottom, highlighted that our recently installed site compound would hinder his exit and entrance into the building for hospital appointments.
The site team thought a ramp would be an ideal solution to resolve the issue, so it was arranged to have a lightweight aluminium ramp constructed by sub-contractor PBI Engineering.
This order was asked to be treated as a priority, as hospital appointments were imminent and we didn’t want to inconvenience David any further.
Ms Higginbottom was extremely grateful, stating that it is very much appreciated, and also adding that David’s appointments will no longer be a problem.

All Clear…
Feb 15, 2023Emanuel Whittaker have recently completed a new kitchen and bathroom at St. Catherine’s Drive.
Emanuel Whittaker Resident Liaison Officer, Neil Lancaster, received a very early morning phone call from Great Places resident, Ms Grundy, who was very upset, due to her toilet being blocked and unable to be used.
We told Ms Grundy, not to worry and that we’ll sort it for her.
The drain company were not able to attended the property for 3 days, so Emanuel Whittaker came to the rescue with drain rods, and within 2 hours, Ms Grudy’s toilet was as good as new.
Ms Grundy was so pleased that we could help her.
