G.I. Sykes are pleased to announce that it has achieved ISO 9001 and 14001 accreditation standards, all part of its ongoing commitment to quality standards and environmental conformity.
Managing Director Richard Sykes stated "This is a great feather in our cap, we have worked really hard to achieve these standards. I am really proud of the effort everyone across the business has contributed in achieving this accolade. This is an imperative standard for us to maintain, as it is a defacto standard when bidding for any business in this industry. It is also key to keep our processes and procedures completely up to date, so that we can continue to offer the quality and reliability of service our customers have come to rely on"
Sykes bids farewell after 48 years
G.I. Sykes has said farewell to a worker who has been with the family business through three generations.
Retiring employee Gary Cooper, aged 65, from decorating and building firm GI Sykes Limited, hung up his spirit level on May 21 after 48 years with the Hayes Lane firm.
Mr Cooper, from Barn Owl Walk, Brierley Hill, began working for GI Sykes as a school leaver and has been with the company ever since.
Contracts director Jason Sykes said: "He started work with my grandad Richard Sykes Snr in the early sixties then continued with my father Gary Sykes for a good many years and then for myself and my brother.
"Gary was a well respected and major part within our workforce and he will be greatly missed, all the staff wish him a happy and long retirement."

G I Sykes is now an approved contractor for all Giromax Technology Ltd products
Giromax products protect and repair damage to metal clad buildings and roofs.
The products include:
Seamsil
This product is a patented low modulus silicone system developed by Delvemade Limited in conjunction with GE Silicones to solve the problem of cut edge corrosion.
Seamsil provides a strong, flexible external joint that can be installed without disturbing existing fixings and sheets. Its tenacious adhesion remains unaffected by UV or weather and temperature extremes.
Seamsil is a cost effective product used to protect your building from the expensive and progressive damage that cut edge corrosion causes on metal sheet clad buildings and roofs.
Delcote
This is the only treatment suitable for reinstating an effective long-term coating on pre-finished organic coated sheets. It is particularly suitable for roofing sheets, being a liquid blend of silicones designed for brush, roller, or spray application.
It does not require extensive surface preparation and provides protection with a life expectancy anticipated on PVC Plastisol coated steel.
Re-coating your building with Delcote should be considered when the original coating starts to fade, craze and/or delaminate or, in the case of smooth finish coatings, when it starts to blister and spot corrode. Not only will Delcote protect your cladding and roof but will also improve the appearance of your building and positively affect the value of the property.
Delcote HPG
Gutter protection for most commercial gutters and rainwater systems.
Delglaze
A high performance, high build, single component moisture curing aliphatic polyurethane coating that cures to provide a clear, tough membrane principally for the recoating and sealing of aged and weathered GRP roof lights. Delglaze seals in the exposed fibres which remain flexible enough to accommodate roof light movement and provides a tough durable finish with a high degree of impact, erosion and weather resistant properties.
