Shout out to our suppliers (part 1)

Arriving on the construction scene as a small gang of builders back in 2005, we have grown into a much larger enterprise that now comprises of two construction companies (Sheriff Construction and Sheriff Brickworks) plus two property development companies.

We could not have managed this level of growth without the fantastic suppliers that have supported us along the way, often for many years. So, we thought it was about time we used our blog to shine the spotlight on some of them. Read on for part 1 of this ‘shout out to our suppliers’ series.

Three of our top suppliers (in no particular order)

Eco Green Roofs

Working nationwide, Eco Green Roofs is reputed in the industry as one of the leading green roofing companies. That reputation has been built upon the company’s relentless dedication to delivering roofs that not only look beautiful but also contribute positively to the environment. They are also committed to working closely with architects, developers, and property owners to create the bespoke roofing solutions their clients are looking for.

What our team said:

“Eco Green Roofs are easy to communicate with, very responsive to our needs, come up with creative solutions and are always quick with deliveries (sometimes ensuring materials arrive at very short notice). Eco Green Roofs have commented that Sheriff gave them the opportunity to grow by awarding a landscape scheme to them a few years ago, and more recently EGR has supported us further by introducing Sheriff to other potential clients.”

Recent projects where EGR has been one of our key suppliers include Goodmayes in Ilford and Montgomery Wharf in Brentford.

IKO

With 140 years’ experience of UK manufacturing, IKO are a market leader in the design, and manufacture of roofing, insulation, and waterproofing systems. The company is dedicated to positive change and a champion of sustainability and UK manufacturing. IKO have four strategically located manufacturing plants and an extensive support network of builders’ merchants, specialist distributors and technical experts, making them a reliable, responsive, and environmentally responsible partner.

What our team said:

“Sheriff is currently using IKO products on around 70% of our sites, across our construction and development businesses. That means we’re sending them multiple enquiries daily and they always support us by responding quickly. We’re happy that they have a real commitment to sustainability (for example, offering zero wrapper waste) while also providing cost-effective solutions.

“We have been an approved installer of IKO products for over a decade and in that time have introduced us to new clients and recognised Sheriff with contractor awards. Recently, IKO supported our team further by providing in-house training for our office staff on their different roofing systems.”

Recent projects where IKO has been one of our key suppliers include Goodmayes in Ilford and Montgomery Wharf in Brentford

Established in the 1990s, the company offers a national advice, quotation and installation service, offering practical and cost-effective solutions to the problems of preventing falls from height. The company has grown continuously since its formation, to become a leading player within the industry.

What our team said:

“The design of Universal Safety Systems solutions is absolutely spot on. The company is very responsive to our needs, and they will not hesitate to offer advice about how things might work better within the context of individual sites. There are no hidden costs and, if we need something urgently, USS will go the extra mile to help us out. In this market, we choose USS because they are competitive and reliable, qualities which in turn helps us to secure projects with our clients.”
