2011 Specialist Awards - National Finalist

Sadly we didn't win an award this year, but national finalist is a good start, we'll have to see what we can do to improve before the 2012 awards, but meanwhile the comments of the Construction News Editor, Nick Edwards make good reading:

 “Eighty companies made it onto the shortlist of this year’s awards across 18 categories. Eighty reasons why whatever the state of the economy, while the planners delay, the politicians talk and the bankers get paid, the country’s specialist subcontractors will keep on delivering the goods. Well done to all of you.”

24 Today!

Today we are celebrating 24 years of Up and Under.  Established in 1987, while Andy was carrying out sewer and manhole surveys in Southampton, it was spring 1988 before we did our first rope access inspection, on two tower blocks in Guildford.

Our first exhibition



Up and Under One - On the Snowdon Mountain Railway

Set up to do jobs others couldn't do safely the, then, new notepaper carried the promise 'Above, Below, Through ............ Anything!' and looking back over the last 24 years I think that has proved to be pretty close to the mark.



Autumn 1988 - skint, huge debts then somebody
 crashed into Battersea Bridge, phew! The rest they say is history ;o)



Years later, Simon's first job and a step into the future.

Thanks to everyone who has made the past 24 years not only possible, but also fun.
