Paul Braham from Warrenpoint?

Paul Braham from Warrenpoint?

Is Paul Braham an employee or the owner or who is it?

 

[rapparee]

He was the former owner

But the braham electrical name continues without him after he sold out.

Just google Paul Braham and Google suggests the rest.

They're a big company who would take on work in the UK

 

[Risteard]

I didn't know that travellers offered tarmac work too....thought they were all about metal work.

They do lots of tarmac work, although generally refer to it by its full name tarmacadam.

They call them stokes here.

Brahams are based in Warrenpoint aren't they?

 

[Risteard]

Oops... Just realised you already said that. A good friend of mine is friendly with someone big in it and uses them a bit.

 

[bahum]

That could even be the company i work for lol

Which one is that then? Send me a private message pls in case you don't want to reveal it here.

I was only joking my boss is called Paul but I've worked here for 9 years and we've never worked in that area so I don't think it's us

 

[Risteard]

Wasn't aware of that.

So is this the Harvey Group that you were referring to earlier:

Harvey Group PLC - Mechanical & Electrical Contractors - http://harveygroup.co.uk/

 

[Martin Kerr]

Surely the easist way of tracing them would be to go back through the companys financial records ?

Um I guess so but my father asked me to post the question on here.

Do you have any guesses who it might be?

 

[Risteard]

There's a Paul Watters Electrical in Meigh in South Armagh but I have no idea whether they do work in England. I think it's more around Dublin typically that they'd be working.

Can't get that U2 song out of my head.......

[Martin Kerr]

I would have more chance of guessing the six numbers!!!!!!
You still haven't said what type of work they did for your father

Loads of companies here work on the mainland. Have you any idea what project they where working at the time?

And surely it's not going to be that cost effective to get them to come over and put them up in a hotel to do a bit of work for you?

As I said in my previous posts I'm asking this for my father who is not very good with computers and I don't know all the details atm.

Doesn't look like we'll find out...…...a few weeks work….wired his extension, maybe?

Be patient, this post has only been on for a day and a half. I'll have to get in touch with my father again.

Hope that's not some sort of euphemism.

So far potential candidates (or however you want to call them) are:

Harvey Group
Graham Group
Braham Electrical
JR Electrical Contractors Northern Ireland (this one rings a bit of a bell)
Blackbourne Mechanical and Electrical
Phoenix Electrical Services Northern Ireland Ltd

 

[bahum]

What sort of electrical work did they carry out for your company ,Domestic,commercial or industrial
Maybe that will start to narrow it down a bit
But it is most likely they were sub contractors working for some of the large companies

PS the rest of you behave yourselves ,before we send Paddy,Mick and Seamus over to sort you out

Why do you think they were most likely subcontractors.

 

[Risteard]

Why do you think they were most likely subcontractors.

Because that's how the world works.

 

[bahum]

Because that's how the world works.

I mean what about this situation makes you think they were most likely subcontractors? Is it the distance between NI and South-East England?

I may be completely off the mark here but isn't hiring sub-contractors more expensive than letting your own employees do the work(sorta like agency staff vs your own staff in other fields)?

 

[Sintra]

88 posts long and we still don't even know the type of job that this contractor done. Surely your father can tell you that much

I might have mentioned this in one of my previous posts but we're not that close and we don't speak that often...

It was most likely industrial/commercial and not domestic though.

Question: Do companies tend to list ALL their work in the portofolio/projects section of their websites? I've been looking at the websites of some of the companies I think might be it (Harvey G, Graham G, JR Electricial Contractors NI, Blackbourne Mechanical and Electrical, Phoenix Electrical Services NI Ltd, Braham Electrical) to see which ones have done work in the South-East of England in that period.

They might update it every so often, but usually only to highlight new technology or a special high pr project, once you have a good portfolio you don’t really need to do regular updates.

Each list projects from at least 10 years ago until present time..... the dates between which they worked on them is shown....I'm just wondering if they list ALL their projects or just the biggest ones.....like if none are listed for that period does it definitely mean that there weren't any. Take a look at this for instance (click on the projects in order to see the dates):

How would anyone here know that?
Ask them.
Absolute drivel, this.

I wouldn't expect anyone here to know for certain. I was just wondering what you guys think it might be....ya know cuz you're tradesmen and you're familiar with this field and you're guess is better than mine....duhh.

I think it’s about time this thread was closed as it’s going absolutely nowhere.
