Boys re-cycle wood waste for winter heating.

Friday, September 30th, 2011

B & E Boys have started offering their wood waste for the increasing number of households that have wood burning stoves.

The construction industry has to complete Site Waste Management Plans on many of the projects it undertakes in order that waste is prevented, minimised and recycled. The Company already recycles card, plaster materials, metal and surplus construction materials. As well as this all staff at the Company receive information and training to ensure the correct amount of materials are bought through our buying department, who then ensure that the minimum amount of packaging is used, and that we utilise surplus materials from other projects thus preventing waste. When the company does incur waste materials that have to be disposed of then we use compactors to help reduce the amount of transportation required to take this to landfill.

The Company also carefully manages transportation of staff and materials to site to minimise the effect of its activities on the environment. This all forms part of the Company’s accreditation to the internationally recognised ISO 14001 Environmental Management Standard.

As from September the company is further trying to reduce its waste streams by offering waste packaging wood which will be cut up and bagged for use in wood burning stoves.

In construction, bulky items are often delivered on wood pallets for ease of transportation and movement around the site. Whilst the Company re-uses many of these pallets, eventually they become damaged beyond repair or unsafe to use.

Fire wood is now available to purchase at Kingfisher Rawtenstall and you can call 01706 836059 to arrange collection. The company also has a supply of logs from tree pruning.

St Marys Chambers Rawtenstall Conference Centre Lease up for grabs.

Tuesday, June 21st, 2011

St Marys Chambers Conference Centre opens its doors for a new operator.

St Marys Chambers Conference and Function Centre operators Michael and Julie Coady are moving on after 6 years running Rossendales premier venue. Michael and Julie took over the running of the venue after the original caterers Steve and Wendy Anderton emigrated. The couple first started catering nearly 20 years ago working at the Rolls Royce factory Social Club in Barnoldswick. In 2005 the couple decided taking over St Marys Chambers Conference and Function would compliment their already established outside catering business but with growing popularity for outside event something had to give. Mr Coady said that it was becoming increasingly difficult to run both his Classic Caterer business and the on site catering requirements at St Marys Chambers. He said “I just couldn’t do two things at once, and St Marys was suffering as a result”. Michael and wife Julie are hoping to hand over the keys to new management in August.

Peter Boys said “We think St Marys offers a fantastic opportunity for someone with fresh ideas and enthusiasm to put St Marys back on the map. St Marys is a fantastic facility and has great future potential”. St Marys Chambers holds a license for Civil Ceremonies.

The centre has had its share of notorious visitors with names such as Nick Leeson, Derek Hatton, Paul Burrel and the Hamiltons raising money for charity there. Although more recently famous politicians and Premiers such as Tony Blair and David Cameron have called in at St Marys during national election campaigns to rally support.

The subject of a recent make over by a London interior designer, St Marys Chambers is a prominent Grade 2 listed building, constructed in 1856 by local businessmen David and Peter Whitehead as a Methodist Church after a disagreement with the congregation at Longholme Methodist Church some 300 yards away.

After its use as an air raid gathering point and subsequent use by Rossendale Senior Citizens the property was bought by local Developers B & E Boys in 1990 and eventually renovated in 1999 providing 3 floors of offices and superb Conference and Function facilities

All interested parties should apply in writing to Tracy Roberts at B & E Boys, Todd Carr Road, Waterfoot, Rossendale, BB4 9SJ.

Michael Coady moving on..

The Wanted are all over Boys at Turf Moor

Boy band “The Wanted” at Burney FC

B & E Boys have been advertising at “The Clarets” ground for many years now, witnessing the highs and the lows from the dug out. 

However a new high was reached the other week – well for the ladies – when boy band “The Wanted” took part in a charity match at Turf Moor, Burnley, home to the Clarets. However the event wasn’t without incident.

BFC were in the news after former Labour party spin doctor Alastair Campbell was allegedly involved in ugly scenes with one of The Wanted at a Soccer six charity match. However we are assured by everyone involved that it was just a bit of fun and not what it seemed.

We dont have a photo of the guys facing the camera – but I’m sure the ladies wont object to this cheeky shot!
