COMLEY DEMOLITION PRESENT CHEQUE FOR JIGSAW TRUST CHARITY
January 2017
The Comley Group joined forces with their client, Brymor Construction in order to present local charity, the Jigsaw Trust, with a cheque for £1,000 to help provide the charity’s café social enterprise with more equipment.
The Jigsaw Trust, based on Dunsfold Park near Cranleigh, supports children and young adults with autism. The charity operates Jigsaw School for children aged 4-19 and Jigsaw+ for adults aged 18+. Café On The Park was set up as a work experience setting for the pupils and clients to learn new skills within a vocational environment. It is staffed by catering professionals with selected tasks being undertaken by Jigsaw pupils and clients.
The Comley Group and Brymor Construction have both been working on the site at Dunsfold Park and staff from both companies have become frequent visitors to the cafe.
MD Toby Comley commented: “I was very pleased to be able to present this cheque on behalf of the Comley Group, the Jigsaw Trust Café On The Park is very popular with our staff when they were on site and we are happy to help provide more learning opportunities for the clients and pupils from the Jigsaw Trust.”
Toby presented the cheque along with the Chairman of the Brymor Group, Steve Morton.
Kate Grant, CEO of Jigsaw Trust, explained: “As a social enterprise, the café provides a commercial environment for our clients and older pupils to learn and develop important life skills. We are incredibly grateful to the Comley Group and Brymor Construction for their very generous support. It will mean that more of our children and young adults will be able to access work experience opportunities thanks to the additional equipment available for them to use.”

Memorial bell rings out at the Comley Group.
This week the Comley Group unveiled a lasting memorial to former MD and founder, Richard Comley, who passed away in June 2013.
The one tonne bell, manufactured by renowned Whitechapel Bell Foundry and engraved with Richard's initals and dates, was erected at the Comley Group HQ in Odiham, Hampshire and was rung for the first time by company owner and Richard's widow, Julia Comley.
As Julia remarked, the bell has special significance to the company: "In 2001, Richard recovered the large Whitecahpel bell from the Catholic Church of St Michael and All Angels, Dunsbury Way, Leigh Park, Havant after being awarded the contract to demolish following an arson attack.
"The bell has sat in the Yard by the office for the past 15 years and Richard made sure the bell was rung to celebrate each time we were successful in being awarded a contract!
"Unfortunately this year the bell was damaged and the decision was made for the original to be melted down and recast by Whitechapel Bells, retuned to the same pitch as the original bell and have Richard’s initials and dates inscribed as a memorial.
"This means that both the company and Richard will be in the records at Whitechapel, who will hold these new details in perpetuity."
An entry in the Guinness Book of Records lists the Whitechapel Bell Foundry as Britain's oldest manufacturing company, having been established in 1570 (during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I) and being in continuous business since that date.
The bell has been erected outside the HQ office in a frame made by the talented team at Comley Reclaim.

Great South Run success for the Comley Group!
October 2015
Unseasonal sunshine and a complete lack of wind greeted runners to Southsea on 25th October for the Great South Run, a 10 mile event taking runners around the historic streets and seafront of Portsmouth.

The group were able to raise over £1,000 in sponsorship for BRIGHT Cancer Research, in memory of our much missed late MD, Richard Comley.
Well done everyone!

Comley Group to demolish the Great South Run!
August 2015
A team of runners from the Comley Group are taking on the challenge of the 10 mile Great South Run this October, in memory of the late MD, Richard Comley.
Michael Wells, Clifford Pitman, Billy Rogers, Mark Watkins, Carl Warner, Kamila Dziedzic, Jen Atkinson and Richard's son and current MD, Toby Comley will all be pounding the pavements of Portsmouth on 25th October. The team all work for the Comley Group, either as sub-contractors or as part of the crew from Comley Demolition, Comley Reclaim and Jeto Limited.
They are raising money for BRIGHT Cancer Research, a charity that raises funds for vital research and new treatment options for gastro-intestinal cancer patients.
Richard Comley was diagnosed with stomach cancer in 2012, and he continued to work every day through numerous chemotherapy treatments, always with a smile and his trademark stoicism. He never let the disease affect his work or the important friendships he had developed with many of his colleagues.
He passed away in June 2013 at the age of 56, and remians an inspiration to both his family and many of his former colleagues.
Many of the team are taking on this challenge for the first time, and with plenty of training and hard work, it will be a huge achievement for all of them when they cross that finish line after 10 miles!

Michael Wells, Clifford Pitman, Billy Rogers, Mark Watkins, Carl Warner, Kamila Dziedzic, Jen Atkinson and Richard's son and current MD, Toby Comley will all be pounding the pavements of Portsmouth on 25th October. The team all work for the Comley Group, either as sub-contractors or as part of the crew from Comley Demolition, Comley Reclaim and Jeto Limited.
They are raising money for BRIGHT Cancer Research, a charity that raises funds for vital research and new treatment options for gastro-intestinal cancer patients.
Richard Comley was diagnosed with stomach cancer in 2012, and he continued to work every day through numerous chemotherapy treatments, always with a smile and his trademark stoicism. He never let the disease affect his work or the important friendships he had developed with many of his colleagues.
He passed away in June 2013 at the age of 56, and remians an inspiration to both his family and many of his former colleagues.
Many of the team are taking on this challenge for the first time, and with plenty of training and hard work, it will be a huge achievement for all of them when they cross that finish line after 10 miles!

Keep an eye out on Channel 5 on 25th October for the Comley Group runners in the televised Great South Run!

Comley demolition director goes back to school
May 2015
Demolition of the former Alfred Sutton Boys Comprehensive School began this month with former pupil, David Armstrong, taking a bite out of his old school.
The school’s gym and surrounding buildings, which closed in 1986, acted in more recent times as Reading Activity Centre and part of the TVU, and are being demolished by Hampshire based Comley Demolition, the company where David is now Operations Manager and director.
After attending the school from 1981 to 1985, David was able to live out the dreams of many a school child and bring his former sports hall to the ground with the help of Comley Demolition’s 22 metre tall and 55 tonne monster High Reach machine, under the careful supervision of Demolition Manager, Michael Wells.
David said: “It brought back a lot of memories when looking round the remaining corridors and the sports hall of my old school, where we played games such as the notorious ‘Murder Ball’.
“My job now has allowed me to work closely with the teams both demolishing this site, and the contractors who will be developing it in the future.
"It was sad to see it go, but a fantastic experience to get behind the controls of our High Reach and tear in to my old sports hall!"

SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED PROJECT FOR COMLEY DEMOLITION AT HISTORIC AIRFIELD
December 2014
Recently completed demolition work carried out by the Comley Demolition team at the historic Netheravon Airfield was completed ahead of time and to the client’s high standards.
Construction at the airfield began in 1900, and the secure military facility is the world's longest continuously-operated airfield.
When war was declared in 1914, Netheravon was one of the main training bases where new pilots learned how to fly and became the number 1 Flying Training School and home to a bomber squadron. When the Second World War broke out, the increased need for pilots kept the Flying Training School busy. Netheravon was at the forefront of radical change in aerial warfare when in 1942 the advance party of the Glider Exercise Squadron arrived.
Comley Demolition were contracted to execute the complex demolition of the redundant Hadley Page Hanger, and dealt with and overcame a host of challenges including adverse weather conditions, high winds, badgers, bats and asbestos.
Comley Demolition received praise from our client for our professional and effective methods at a challenging site.
Well done to Demolition Manager, Michael Wells, Supervisor, Sarah Watts and all of the Comely Demolition staff involved in the project.

COMLEY'S MD MADE A FELLOW
December 2014
The Comley Group Managing Director, Toby Comley, has demonstrated his experience and expertise in the demolition and asbestos removal industries with his recent appointment as Fellow to the ARMI (Asbestos Removal Management Institute).
Toby achieved the ARCA level 4 Certificate in Asbestos Removal for Contracts Managers in May 2013 and the Level 6 NVQ in construction site management in August 2014 to ensure his competency and understanding in the key principles that the H&SE detailed at their recent Leadership and management seminars, ensuring his appointment.
Whilst ARMI is currently a fledgling institute, Toby is keen to see it become an established industry institute, similar to the IDE (Institute of Demolition Engineers), offering professionals to chance to discuss and collaborate on approaches and attitudes towards asbestos management in the UK.

COMLEY'S MD TO STAND FOR IDE ELECTION
|
Our managing director, Toby Comley, is honoured to have been asked to stand for election to the Institute of Demolition Engineers' (IDE) Council of Management.
Toby said: "Although young in years and comparatively new to the Institute, I am passionate about the Industry which I have been involved in all my life – a third generation professional having been taught well – the Industry and associated Industries will have to adapt in the future as environments and the type of structures requiring demolition change." I joined the Institute as a Student member In January 2007 whilst studying at Northampton University where I gained a 2:1 BSc (Honours) in Waste Management Pollution Control." During my time at University I won a scholarship from the NFDC which encouraged further education within the Industry and also won the IDE Claude J Brown Best Paper submitted based on the principle of Site Waste Management Plans, this was followed by becoming a Full Member in 2012." I joined Jeto Limited, part of the Comley Group specialising in Asbestos removal after University and successfully renewed its Licence in 2011 and again in 2014 with the HSE." Following the premature death of my father Richard Comley, I became Managing Director of the Comley Group." I have achieved further qualifications culminating in NVQ Level 6 Construction Management and I have applied for ARMI. I am also a co-author for NNLW Asbestos Guidance Notes for the NFDC." I would be honoured to be selected to sit on the Council of Management with a promise to listen to all members and promote the Institute to a wider audience to enjoy growth and gain collective knowledge." |

COMLEY DEMOLITION COMPLETES CITY CENTRE PROJECT IN STYLE
February 2014
Hampshire based demolition engineers, Comley Demolition are celebrating the successful completion of a complicated city centre based project in Southampton this week, the remodelling of the city’s large Primark store.
The project has taken 8 months to complete, complicated by the fact that all of the work has been carried out after dark in five phases of 10 – 15 nights over a total of four floors, with teams of between 3 and 10 staff working through the night.
The team on site faced other restrictions during the project, hours were restricted to starting after 8pm and any roll on roll off bins had to be removed from site by 5.45am daily in readiness for Primark deliveries as the store remained open throughout.
Toby Comley, managing director at Comley Demolition said: “We are pleased with the planned works we have carried out for this project, we have worked successfully within some very tight restrictions and completed the project on time and to budget and with very little disruption to Primark.”
Over 350 tonnes of arisings have been produced from this site and Comley’s have achieved a 95% recycling rate.
Works carried out by Comley’s included a strip out of ceilings, wall panelling M&E, non-loadbearing stud walls, chaining rooms, shop fronts and shop windows in preparation for the stores ongoing refurbishment.
