Property care firm Timberwise is marking a major milestone after receiving a prominent accolade at the annual Property Care Awards.
Founded in Cheshire and now operating nationwide, the company won the Training and Development award following another year of strong growth and investment in its workforce.
The awards, hosted at Old Trafford by the Property Care Association (PCA) for the fifteenth time, recognised standout achievements by PCA members. Nine awards were presented across three main categories.
Timberwise, a longstanding PCA member, was recognised with the Training and Development award, highlighting its dedication to enhancing the skills of its surveyors, technicians and office staff, along with its continued delivery of training to external clients.
The company narrowly missed out on winning a second trophy in the Health and Safety category but did achieve a Highly Commended status for its efforts.
Commenting on the Training and Development award, George Edwards, CEO of Timberwise, said: “Our win for the Training and Development award has once again proven that the PCA recognises our steadfast commitment to developing our team, equipping them with the skills to work to the highest standards on site, in the office, or wherever they might be. But it is not just technical training we want to encourage at Timberwise. Professional development and making sure our team feels encouraged to progress in their own career is just as important.”
Reflecting on the Health and Safety recognition, George Edwards added: “Our nomination for the Property Care Association Health & Safety award is something I am immensely proud of. It is a sure sign that the measures we have in place as a business are working, and that is not something we want to keep to ourselves. This acknowledgement by the PCA affirms that all the work we have done in recent years to make sure Timberwise is not only a leading force when it comes to the quality of our work, but also an industry leader when it comes to health and safety throughout the workplace, is paying off.”
The company’s award success strengthens its drive to expand its CPD programmes and ensure every employee receives structured support in their professional journey. Mr Edwards thanked Timberwise’s Training and Development specialists, its Health and Safety teams and the PCA for their continued encouragement.
Since its establishment in 1968, Timberwise has grown into the UK’s largest family-run property care specialist, known for its expertise in remediation and restoration. Once centred in the North West, the business now provides services throughout Great Britain and entered the Scottish market in 2022.
Timberwise’s continual investment in CPD and strong emphasis on health and safety means colleagues are consistently trained to deliver safe, high-quality work. Both the PCA and the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) accredit the company’s CPD seminars.
