Our History

David Adlam and his son Paul established Phoenix in 1985. David’s extensive experience in the ventilation business started in the early sixties and covers all areas of manufacture, erection and project management of complex ductwork systems. He decided to put this experience to good use and establish a company that offered quality at competitive prices.

Within a short time Phoenix’s professional approach had attracted the attention of a number of large clients and the company won a string of prestigious contracts across the south east of England. Through organic growth Phoenix expanded it’s staff and set up a manufacturing facility in its offices in West Byfleet. Here, the latest equipment was purchased to produce high quality ductwork used on site.

The Present

As the number of contracts grew, major investment was made in the manufacturing facility and the workshop was extended to over five times its original size. High quality plasma cutters and the latest AutoCAD software were installed to ensure that the whole process from drawing to manufacture is as accurate as possible.

Phoenix now has around 60 in-house staff with a number of long-term suppliers and contract staff working full-time on our projects.

The senior management has also been strengthened by Russell Triggs who has joined the board as Contracts Director. Russell has over 25 years HVAC experience and co-ordinates activities on all our contracts.

The Future

Despite our past successes, we do not rest on our laurels and constantly strive to improve all areas of our work. Two directors recently visited the States to examine new equipment and techniques and we have invested in a new integrated Job Costing and Accounts system to improve the administration of all our projects.

We continue to look for new methods or innovations to keep our company at the forefront of our industry.
