Overview
Ambrey Baker is one of the UK's leading specialist Industrial Solutions providers and Construction companies that services the exacting standards of the clean manufacturing sectors, and the cold and chill storage industries.
Our company has been in operation for over 30 years and, with our ever-growing expertise and our year-on-year success, during this time we have expanded from our initial cold store specialism into a select arena of very niche industries.
Our perpetual and measured expansion over the 3 decades is a testament to our core values. As a company, we listen to our customers, we are constantly building upon our existing knowledge base, broadening our horizons, and eternally finding new ways to hone and improve our already excellent services. From new builds and extensions to refurbishment and individual components, we’re by your side every step of the way using our expertise and skill to craft your vision, whatever that may be.
No project is too small because we even undertake repairs and maintenance for many of our clients but equally are comfortable with medium sized projects up to c.£10m in capital value in the right conditions and anywhere in the UK and Ireland. Our professional team and design consultants ensure that everything is meticulously crafted down to the fine details and that nothing is overlooked at any stage of the project. Our expert management skills and our technology levered tools for 4D planning and 5D costing allow us to monitor progress, detect potential problems before they can develop, and ensure that all of our specialists are working towards one cohesive end-goal. This could be a cold store, a clean room, a building expansion, or even a new building entirely. Regardless of the nature of your project, you can rely on Ambrey Baker to deliver service of a consistently high quality and safety across all your interactions.
"We have worked very closely and successfully with Ambrey Baker for many years. We have found the team to be very professional. They deliver quality workmanship, safely and are very easy to work with. We have engaged with them on a range of projects of all sorts of size and complexity, which they have always delivered on time and within budget. I would not hesitate to recommend them."
