Receiving lots of praise for their work, Francis and the team have undertaken an assortment of new projects which will see them enhance their standing within the sector. Francis outlined the firm’s overall mission, before telling us what tech- niques and methods the firm utilises in order to achieve its targets. He cites the approach that the team takes when undertaking a new project or working with a new client as key to the success of the company. “Here at FE Stacey & Co, our aim is to carry out our works to the best pos- sible standards, keeping up with current practices and being sympathetic in our restoration work “Looking to achieve the best outcome, our approach varies on each project, and there are many considerations coming from both meeting the client’s needs, and working within the regulations of listed buildings. We take each project on a case by case basis as each one is different and it has to be suited to the individual. Every job is different and as such a lot of prior preparation work needs to be carried out, along with our discussions, before main works can begin. We work closely with the architects and clients to make sure the needs of projects are met.” Operating within the competitive industry, the team is able to differentiate itself from its competitors thanks to the personal conversations that they have with clients, and the ability to understand client requirements, as Francis pointed out to us.
