We’re marking the 60th anniversary of Colemans this month with a new look, a new website and the launch of a new video series looking back at some of our most significant experiences within the demolition industry.
The business has come a long way since it was founded in the back room of John & Norah Coleman’s house in Stechford, Birmingham, in October 1962. We’ve been through some good times and some challenging times, and we’ve used those experiences to help shape the safe, agile and skilled organisation that exists today.
Today we focus on what matters most to our people, the planet and our customers; improving safety, supporting the environment and exceeding client expectations on projects of all sizes.
A new look
If you’re reading this, you will have already noticed a new look across our website and social media, with a new logo that better reflects our modern approach and incorporates the big 6-0.
We’re proud to have maintained a personal touch throughout our 60 years and we’re also showcasing that by adopting the well-used ‘Colemans’ name. It’s how many of our friends have always referred the business and it’s how many of us answer the phone. Now it’s front and centre on our digital platforms too. We hope you love the new look as much as we do.
£60,000 for 60 years
On 15th October we’re hosting a Dinner Dance, the grand finale in a series of fundraising activities to mark our 60th milestone.
Ten years ago we pledged to raise £50,000 for three local charities in celebration of our 50th anniversary. In the end we raised a fantastic £121,000 thanks to the support our colleagues, clients and other partners. This year we raised a fantastic £60,000 for SIFA Fireside, which supports clients in their recovery from the effects of homelessness.
A huge thank for to everybody who helped us to achieve our fundraising goals, including those who came to the dinner.
Mark’s Demolition Diaries
Finally, we’re pleased to be able launch ‘Mark’s Demolition Diaries’ as part of our 60th celebration, with an exciting new video series from our CEO Mark Coleman – following in the footsteps of his father David Coleman, who published ‘Dave’s Demolition Diaries’ blog in 2012 over the course of our 50th year in business.
We’ll be posting new videos from Mark on this blog and across Colemans’ social media channels over the next 12 months, sharing his experiences throughout his life, from being a child sitting in cab of his father’s trucks, right up to present day. Mark will be talking about his love for the industry, the challenges that we’ve faced and the successes that we’ve achieved, giving a flavour of the culture at Colemans.
Check our other blogs to watch the videos as they’re published.
