Neil James Mullen (NJM) incorporated the company in June 2003 after successfully being awarded two prestigious zinc roofing and cladding projects in Edinburgh with a combined value of £1.85 million.

Neil recognized the need for further staff to assist with surveying, estimating and administration duties which would leave him to concentrate on the key element of providing an outstanding service on a day to day basis at site level.

Sean Taylor was appointed in September 2003 to oversee the clerical side of the works and the company now had a strong core that covered all elements of running a successful roofing and cladding company.

Collectively Neil and Sean have 45 years experience in specialist traditional hard metal roofing and cladding and have the confidence and knowledge to successfully complete projects of any shape and size. We thrive and are motivated on schemes that are deemed to be on the fringe of design parameters.

The company continued to grow through the next few years as the reward for providing excellent service lead ultimately to new business leads and ventures.

Whilst concentrating mainly on the North Eastern seaboard the company now had specialist hard metal roofing and cladding work throughout the North of England and Southern Scotland.

The company resisted the temptation to expand too quickly and jeopardize service however the need for larger business premises and further staff prevailed and in 2006 the company acquired it's current premises on the Team Valley in Gateshead.

In 2007 a major developer and longstanding client of NJM approached us to undertake an aluminium 'zip up' roof on a new apartment scheme in Edinburgh, priding ourselves on service we agreed to undertake the project even though we had sufficient hard metal contracts at the time. The contract required further staffing and investment in machinery.

We appointed a contracts manager to oversee the project which entailed 3,500 metre squared of KeyBemo roofing, rooflights, mansafe system and aluminium flashings.

Completing the project successfully opened opportunities in all aspects of the building envelope, we can now offer a full compliment of roofing and cladding disciplines and still concentrate on our core principle of outstanding service.

As the company has developed we have taken on further administration staff, expanded our premises to incorporate fabrication facilities and opened a second office concentrating primarily on design.

Our current projects range in value from £5,000 to £845,000 and anticipated turnover for 2011 — 2012 is circa £3 million.
