Our diverse client base demands a superior service with best in class delivery of projects across all sectors of construction. Our highly skilled teams work across the UK and in Europe for leading blue chip organisations operating across all sectors of the construction industry.

HistoryThe joinery business founded by George Sharkey in 1969 has grown and developed over 4 decades into its current form as a leading construction group with particular expertise and experience in refurbishment and interior fit-out.

OwnershipIn 1997 Stephen and Scott Sharkey assumed ownership of the company and the last 15 years has seen them deliver their vision of major expansion in terms of capacity, expertise and capability with work throughout the UK and Europe.

LeadershipSustaining continued business growth requires strong leadership that has an innate ability to adapt and thrive within its operating market. Billy Harrison was appointed Managing Director in 2008 and, with the support of an experienced management team, has delivered outstanding business performance within the most challenging economic environment. Billy has instilled an ethos that harmonises the

need for robust processes and procedures with a fundamental understanding of customer needs. His tenure as MD has seen the business strengthen its financial standing whilst expanding its client base. With such a broad spectrum of clients our service offer has evolved to give a responsive and proactive approach to wide ranging projects in terms of scope, size and technical complexity with values from a few thousand pounds to over £25 million. We have consistently out performed our competitors resulting in a secure organisation supported by repeat business clients and long term framework agreements with major financial and retail clients

LondonWe have continued our growth through the recession and in order to sustain this we are delighted to announce the launch of our London office. A team of construction professionals, led by Steve Le Boutillier, will provide Sharkey with a platform for further growth as well as expanding our national service offer. As Managing Director of our London office - Sharkey SE, he has an established team that have worked together for over 20 years within the London market. Sharkey SE’s clients, and respective professional teams, align exactly with our existing blue chip and varied sector split. It is because of this we are confident our London team will not only deliver a high quality service but will augment our business growth through excellence in all aspects of their work.

Data Centres & Critical Facilities

Given that data centres form the business critical core of most large organisations, we recognise the vital need for clients to have the utmost belief and trust in the knowledge and capability of any contractor working in that environment. We have a demonstrable track record of involvement in all types of project work in data centres and similar critical facilities and we involve only our best and most experienced people with a full understanding of the functionality and complexity of this building type in this area of delivery. In addition to exploiting these specialised skills and ensuring there is a clear understanding of the processes which protect integrity, we believe successful delivery is equally reliant on the development of a strong relationship across all members of the respective teams to ensure clear and effective communication at all stages of these most critical projects.

To demonstrate our track record we have:

• Carried out over £50m of data centre works in the last 5 years

• Worked in live environments with zero down time or disruption

• Constructed new data halls• Installed new raised access floors to live data halls• Installed new roof coverings to live data centres• Provided external and internal security installations • Coordinated over £25m of business critical building

Banking

Sharkey have over 40 years experience working within the banking sector. We are the contractor of choice when our financial sector clients are rolling out high street branches.

Our dedicated banking teams deliver varying projects across the UK. These projects can be a simple cash machine replacement at a few thousand pounds up to a £1.5m flagship store. We are increasingly asked to look after programmes of work that deal with multiple projects with differing scopes across a wide geographic spread. Our skilled programme and project managers are trusted to deal with all aspects of delivery on a body of work with a prevalence of design and build type contracts.

Our account management teams deploy a communications strategy that ensures stakeholder engagement is efficient and professional. We understand there are many touch points associated with working in branches such as security, technology, property, design etc and it is essential these are brought together. Sharkey’s reputation for breaking down barriers and clear communication gives our clients the confidence in our ability to manage the entire programme from start to finish. Our recent work on branch networks has seen us strive to achieve flawless delivery with zero defects at site handover level. In addition, we are concluding all final accounts and record documentation prior to branch handover. This approach has placed Sharkey at the top of the leader board on our major banking frameworks.

Education

Sharkey have worked in all levels of education from pre-school to further education. We have worked with some of the world’s leading institutes demonstrating our ability to deliver on a wide range of projects dealing with specialised university faculties to general education facilities. The work scopes and complexity vary greatly in the education sector. Our projects over recent years have seen us collaborate with universities to establish learning environments, laboratories, lecture theatres and exhibition spaces to support the following:

• School of Informatics - studies the structure, algorithms, behavior, and interactions of natural and artificial systems that store, process, access and communicate information

• Institute of Immunology & Infection Research• Institute of Evolutionary Biology• 250 delegate conference and lecture facility• The Charles Darwin Exhibition

Higher education facilities include:• Full refurbishment and fit out to form 6 floors of dormitories within Fettes College;

a 19th Century, Grade A listed building. • Refurbishment and fit out within Dollar Academy

Educational facilities go well beyond schools and universities. Sharkey’s reputation and track record in this sector has offered us opportunities to provide learning and exhibition areas in museums and healthcare buildings. Our clients recognise the added value and knowledge of this sector we bring through our engagement.

Our education clients include:

Dutch Championship Golf Course

Hotels & Leisure

Sharkey have been very active in this sector in recent years, waiting until we had a demonstrable track record in delivery of high quality hotel and leisure projects. In this way we could truthfully discuss our capability in a niche and, at times, complex sector of the construction industry.

Understanding the product, geography and demographic out reach of any particular project is fundamental in delivering the desired end result. Our overriding aim is to meet the objectives of the many stakeholders involved in a hotel & leisure operation with resulting long term commercial success of the facility. We dedicate a front end senior management team to work alongside you in order to capture key business drivers of your project beyond the physical construction requirements.

We want to embrace your aspirations and bring these to the forefront through our representation and conduct on your project.

The devil is in the detail! Cliché or axiomatic? We believe the latter! Whatever procurement route - competitive tender, negotiated, framework - our modus operandi takes us into the key essence of a project. Of course we must respond to the usual construction needs of cost, programme, value adding and value engineering. After all, every project entails someone investing a significant amount of money.

Our hotels & leisure clients include:

MacRoberts LLP

Pinsent Masons LLP

Hymans Robertson LLP


Professional Services

When it comes to unrivalled quality in interior fit out for professional services clients then Sharkey is the contractor of choice. It is testament to our reputation that “word of mouth” is the main source of our business in this sector that covers a varied client base. The professional services clients are generally city centre based and will work within:

• Legal services• Stockbroking• Asset management • Investment services• Energy - oil and gas research - renewables• Insurance• Architectural or engineering services• Pension and wealth management

The projects tend to be “one off” high quality fast track fit outs. Given the nature of the clients their requirements are at the higher specification range and demand the best quality of finishes and manufactured joinery. Excellent communication skills are essential to ensure representatives of our clients are able to clearly communicate with their own team in terms of the construction process. It is for this reason we dedicate a senior member of our management team to projects of this nature. Despite the uniqueness of these projects we recognise our reputation is dependent on our performance on a one off project and the commendations it can bring.

In addition to this we have carried out many projects that provide support functions to the health sector. Projects within this sector demand a high level of experience in our team that can address the unique challenges and sensitivities surrounding both staff and patients particularly when working within an operational environment. It is our consistently high quality performance and the ability to close projects out that retains our position as the contractor of choice in fit out and refurbishment.

Heritage Buildings

Fettes College

Our Historic Buildings include:

We are truly fortunate in the United Kingdom to have buildings that remind us of our heritage and culture. Travelling through Britain it soon becomes apparent just how remarkable a range of architecture survives from the Norman Conquest onwards. Most villages, towns and cities have a rich mix of buildings dating from different periods celebrating architecture of its time echoing the work of past pioneers in design and construction.

These buildings are rightly protected by local authorities and trusts that value the place they hold in recording historic eras from medieval times through to Art Deco.

Sharkey have worked in a wide range of historic buildings from small refurbishments to multi million pound projects within World Heritage sites. We apply our contemporary construction techniques and expertise with empathy for the building leading to a regenerated end product.

Works to heritage buildings is particularly interesting. It brings traditional trades back in to construction and our carpentry team lead the way with manufacturing that offers both conservation of existing fabric and the production of period works.We have worked in buildings that uncovered stories regarding:

• Archaeologically important findings• A residency for Sir Walter Scott• The history of money

Without doubt our single proudest heritage project is in the world famous Edinburgh Castle forming a new museum for the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards - opened by Her Majesty The Queen.
