News from Shields Buildings

I’m no meteorologist, but I’m calling it: Spring is here.

The temperature might have dropped again, but this is a very different cold snap to the last one. Back in December, it felt like we really were in the depths of winter, with months of cold stretched out ahead of us.

With both girls safely deposited back to university, John and I are empty nesters once again. (Until reading week anyway!) But rather than sit around, wondering what they’re getting up to, I decided not to let the grass grow under my feet last weekend, and headed down to Looe – the delightful Cornish fishing port on the south coast.

Just before Christmas we made an announcement:

There’s little we love more than getting stories and pictures from our customers, letting us know how they’re getting on with their building. Often, they find that while they got the building for one particular purpose, it’s turned out to be even more useful than they imagined.

So, here we are; just two weeks until Christmas.

I recently shared a video of our team constructing a building from scratch, right here in our workshop in Devon. But that’s only half of the story, because we don’t just make it, ship it, and hope for the best.

The saying goes that “anyone who loves the law or sausages should never watch either being made”.

A couple of weeks back, I mentioned that we had a handful of white uPVC windows and doors in stock, and if you’re happy to have a building that has specific-sized windows and doors (they are very normal sizes!), we’re able to offer you a discount of up to £2,000.

It’s happened.  The John Lewis ad is here, the countdown to Christmas is on.
