Jack Henry Lidstone
(JHL) built the business around his family,
passing the reins to his son John, who
as Managing Director, is now joined by
his own sons Jonathon and Damian. John's
sister Pat Basker is also a Director of
the firm, as is Company Surveyor Mike Bluett,
who has been with Lidstones for 40 years.
Although the company has grown it is still
run by the family as a family - with most
employees staying with the company for
many years. Over 90% of the 60-strong workforces
have now been with the company for over
5 years - some for over 30 years. JHL have
many staff who gained their indentures
after serving apprenticeships with them
decades ago, and Lidstone's commitment
to quality is reflected in the fact that
they still run their own apprenticeship
scheme to ensure the high standards of
the company are met and maintained.
All
the company staff take pride in ensuring
that each job is completed to the highest
standards - on time and on budget. The
firm's Contract Managers coordinate the
efforts of all JHL staff and provide
the bridge from concept to completion,
with
a commitment to customer satisfaction
that is second to none. The dedication
of the
staff is without question - whatever
it takes to complete the job to the required
specification and within the requisite
timescale - is what JHL staff will do.
