Paul O'Brien and his staff certainly have something to celebrate! Because the firm has reached double figures and is celebrating its 10th anniversary.

First Started by Paul and a few labourers in Bedminster the company now employs a staff of over 40 people, 30 of which are professional roofers.

Manager James Milligan said: "With a turnover of £4.2 million and our vast range of staff specialising in all aspects of the roofing industry, we have no need to sub-contract, hence large and small jobs receive the same care and attention.

Paul O'Brien Roofing carry out all types of slating, tilling, lead work, flat roofing, asphalt roofing, flat to pitched conversion and loft conversions. They have worked on major contracts with hotels, churches, Clevedon bandstand and have significant ongoing contracts with North Somerset and Bristol City Council. They also do roofing for large insurance and building companies, as well as domestic contracts.

Twelve months ago the company launched a massive advertising campaign, spending in the region of £200,000, with which they feel was a major factor in their continued expansion and success.
