It’s exciting to see this project coming together, with Kingerlee Ltd, Darke & Taylor Ltd, and all teams making great strides on site. A fantastic development that will be a standout home for some of the world’s finest cars. Looking forward to seeing it take shape over the coming months!

International Women's Day: At Darke & Taylor we're celebrating the brilliant women who make a difference in our industry every day. We caught up with Lillie, our Health & Safety Lead, who told us about her journey and why she believes more women should join the industry. "When I first started in health and safety, I didn't necessarily picture myself in construction, but it's been one of the most rewarding paths I could have taken. Working my way up to Health & Safety Lead at Darke & Taylor has given me the opportunity to make a real impact, ensuring that everyone on site goes home safe each day and helping to build a culture where safety is a priority, not just a requirement. Construction is a dynamic and exciting industry, and there are so many opportunities for women to grow and succeed here. It's not just about being on-site; there are roles in project management, design, engineering, and of course health and safety. The industry benefits from diverse perspectives, and I would love to see more women bringing their skills and ideas into the sector." #internationalwomensday #womeninconstruction

We are excited to announce that the first phase of the renovations led by the Special Projects team at Thomas House is now complete, and our Main Contracts staff members have moved into their new office space. Thomas House in Langford Locks, Kidlington, has been the home of Kingerlee since 1999, and it was time for our much-loved home to get a well-deserved refresh. The newly upgraded foyer and office space features a modern, reimagined layout including the main office, a dedicated collaboration area, an open plan kitchen and canteen, meeting rooms and ancillary spaces. One of the meeting rooms is called the ‘THK’ meeting room named after our founder, Thomas Henry Kingerlee. New technology features such as smart televisions and intuitive room control panels have been introduced to allow for an innovative and collaborative working environment. We are thrilled with the results so far and are looking forward to revealing more as we move onto the second phase of renovations on the first floor. Special thanks to WWA Studios for their hard work. And a special thanks to the sub-contractors who have enabled this stage of the project to run so seamlessly: Darke & Taylor Ltd, F.G.Alden, A&Ldecorating, A&D Roofingsolutions, A.W.

Proud to have been part of this incredible project on the Chapel at Harris Manchester College! A blend of history and craftsmanship, with meticulous attention to detail throughout. Great to see the finished result! Harris Manchester College Jessop & Cook Architects
We’re delighted that our beautiful Chapel has reopened after a major renovation project that was made possible with the kind support of benefactors across the College community. New lighting, as well as renewals to the interior, bring to the fore its unique historical features, such as the celebrated stained glass windows, designed by William Morris. And a new streaming system will make the College’s rich programme of events – many of which are held in the Chapel – more accessible to all. A number of celebrations are being held over the term, including a public service in the chapel this evening featuring a reflection by artist, potter, writer, and Visiting Fellow at HMC, Edmund de Waal. Pictured below in the newly renovated Chapel the Harris Manchester project team, led by Clerk of Works Mark Longford, with representatives from architects Jessop & Cook Architects, builders Richard Ward, and electrical contractors Darke & Taylor Ltd.
