When we started Cosgrove & Drew, we wanted to build something lasting - a company that clients could rely on, and a workplace our team could be proud of. We began with a handful of engineers, a small office and a determination to do things properly. From day one, our goal was to bring a professional, personal approach to every project we took on.
More than a decade later, those values still define us. We have grown, but our principles have not changed. We believe in quality, accountability and doing what we say we will do. Whether it is a simple repair, a planned maintenance contract or a full mechanical installation, we treat every job with the same care and attention to detail. That is how trust is built, and it is why so many of our clients have stayed with us over the years.
Our work spans a wide range of building and mechanical services. We deliver heating, plumbing, ventilation and compliance solutions for housing associations, councils, and commercial clients. No two jobs are ever the same. Each comes with its own challenges, and that is what keeps our work interesting. We approach every project with a problem-solving mindset, looking for the best and most efficient way to deliver long-term results.
Teamwork sits at the centre of everything we do. The people we work with make the difference between a good job and a great one. Our engineers, support staff and managers all take pride in their work and look out for one another. We have built a culture where everyone has a voice, and that openness helps us improve and adapt as the industry changes.
We also see training as one of our most important investments. The building services sector is evolving fast, and we need to make sure our team stays ahead. We support apprenticeships and ongoing development, giving people the skills and confidence to progress in their careers. Watching our apprentices grow into qualified engineers and future leaders is one of the most rewarding parts of running the business.
Safety and compliance are non-negotiable for us. We never cut corners. Every project we deliver meets the highest technical and regulatory standards. That gives clients peace of mind and ensures that every building we work on is safe, efficient and fully compliant.
Over the past few years, sustainability has become an even bigger part of our story. Clients are more aware of their environmental responsibilities, and we have made sure our services reflect that. We have expanded our work in energy efficiency, supporting retrofit and renewable upgrades where mechanical expertise is critical. We are proud to play our part in helping the UK move towards a lower-carbon future.
Joining the EARNZ Group has given us a broader platform to do that. Being part of a larger organisation has opened doors to new opportunities and partnerships. It has allowed us to share knowledge with other specialist businesses that share our goals and values. The collaboration across the Group helps us learn, innovate and improve what we do. It also means we can take on larger projects while maintaining the same reliability and customer focus that define us.
We have seen first-hand how powerful that collaboration can be. Working alongside other companies in the Group, we have helped deliver projects that combine mechanical, retrofit and maintenance expertise. Those partnerships make it possible to tackle complex challenges more effectively, and they ensure that clients get a joined-up service from start to finish.
As the demand for energy-efficient, safe and well-maintained buildings continues to grow, we are ready to meet it. We are exploring new technologies, expanding our service offering and strengthening our operational processes to make sure we remain a trusted partner for years to come.
For us, success has always been measured by relationships. We are proud that many of our clients have worked with us for years and that most of our new business comes through recommendation. It shows that our approach works. If we say we will do something, we do it. If a problem arises, we fix it quickly. That reliability is the foundation of our business.
We often say that what sets Cosgrove & Drew apart is not just what we do, but how we do it. We combine technical expertise with a personal approach. We listen, we communicate, and we deliver. It is that simple.
As we look to the future, our goal remains the same as it was when we started. We want to keep growing, keep improving, and keep doing great work for our clients. We will continue to invest in our people, our systems and our sustainability efforts. By staying true to our values and focusing on what we do best, we will keep building a company that stands for quality, reliability and trust.
That is what Cosgrove & Drew was founded on and it will always be the standard we hold ourselves to.
