WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP FOR 20 YEARS!

Proctors started working with FM Conway in 2000, 23 years ago. At that time, FM Conway had one depot, based in Penge, and had just purchased their Dartford depot. John Proctor takes up the story. HELPING LOCAL COMPANIES TO FLOURISH “In 2000, we were a two-person operation, with just myself working as an electrician, and an apprentice electrician. We fitted out the workshop, garages and offices at Dartford and then slowly our work with FM Conway expanded. At one stage, during the Illuminated River works, we employed six people and 18 local subcontract electricians. Pictures and details of the work we carried out were added to our website and we began to get leads for other specialist lighting works.” “We are proud of the work we carried out, and I have thoroughly enjoyed working with FM Conway over the past 23 years and consider them a fantastic partner to work with.”
