Having been established in 1984, Purdy now employs 184 staff to provide maintenance services to over 30,000 properties located throughout London, the Home Counties and southeast England. Local authority and housing association clients include Homes for Haringey, the London Borough of Enfield, Central Bedfordshire Council and Hyde Housing. That list is set to grow because Purdy has just won two material new contracts which are expected to commence shortly.
The first is to undertake annual electrical testing, servicing and reactive works to all properties owned by Peabody Housing. Purdy is also undertaking a pilot project with the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham to install kitchens and bathrooms and to undertake associated mechanical and electrical works. Upon completion of the pilot project Purdy expects to be awarded a new four-year contract.
