Ideally, FORT enjoys trying to persuade our customers and their clients to consider options that will be longer lasting, energy efficient and positive on insulation values.

I’m pleased to be the friendliest van driver on the FORT delivery fleet, and because of that I guarantee a cracking smile from myself anytime we cross paths! We’re always busy here at FORT so that leaves me out on the road with a full van getting you all the materials you need to your site. Since joining the team I’ve enjoyed everyone’s friendly team spirited attitude, and after all team work makes the dream work.

Writing this on a day in mid March where it isn’t raining and there’s none on forecast for another couple of days seems almost surreal, there’s even some blue sky with, dare I say it, some glimpses of sunshine? It’s not just the weather which is improving though; we have longer daylight hours and with the budget out of the way we know more clearly where we are economically.

I joined the yard team in May of last year and it’s been fantastic to work alongside a great team of guys. We’re the ones picking and packing your orders ready for collections or deliveries.

Maybe it’s just a dream, but was there a short spell when it was a little bit drier during these past few weeks? As you’ll see below, we seem to be having very high rainfall levels. The ground is still totally saturated, so it won’t take much to see flooding again and that is seriously affecting groundworks. But the days are also lengthening and we’re heading for the busier phase for construction.

I’m a new face here at FORT, joining the sales team back in October last year. A lot of you will likely know me by now if you’ve had a recent visit to FORT, or even just a phone call. Having worked in similar sectors prior to joining the team I’ve brought with me some great knowledge on the industry and it’s materials.

Christmas seems such a long time ago and now January is speeding along. Thankfully the awful weather at the start of the month has abated, but it has left a huge amount of water, small amounts over the coming weeks will soon top it up again.

Almost everyone that deals with FORT will know me, as I’m in charge of the phone getting answered, orders getting taken and deliveries going out the door. Having started out at Marlborough Building Supplies with Patrick Kiely, some could say that he is my Obi-Wan; teaching me the ways that I still use today.

Well here we are in December and another year is drawing to a close. It’s been another very busy year for FORT (we’ll do our annual round-up and look at 2023 in the New Year) and we’re all looking forward to having a nice break over the Christmas period.

The clocks have changed, the trees are getting bare and the weather is awful, but there’s no shortage of cheer here at FORT as we continue to develop and grow, with more to come through November as we give the shop a re-vamp.
