Father hands over reins to son after 30 years of Permagard success

Avonmouth-based, independent damp proofing and waterproofing business, Permagard, celebrated its 30th anniversary on the 27th of March.

Permagard has prided itself on fast, friendly and effective trading since it was first established in 1989 by founder, Dave Wookey.

To mark their thirtieth year, Dave and his son, Steve, have refreshed Permagard’s look with a complete overhaul of the website, four new trademark registrations including; PermaSEAL and Easi-Fix, new signage and new stationery. Permagard is looking towards the future of the business and the exciting upcoming ventures; so after 30 years of running the company, Dave has chosen to hand over the reins to Steve who will lead the company forward for the next 30 years and beyond.

Dave Wookey commented: “Thirty years on and I couldn’t be prouder of how successful the business has become. We have continually grown since 1989 and none of it would have been possible without the support of my loyal team Christine, Bron and Gregg who have served 57 years between them and of course, my family, who have helped me grow the business beyond all my expectations.

“As we enter the next stage of the business with new branding, a new website and new trademarks; it only makes sense that I hand over the business to Steve and let his fresh, young approach to Permagard take it to new heights over the next thirty years.

“Permagard delivers top-quality service, guaranteeing next day delivery with outstanding expertise and knowledge; but we also work hard to keep that personal, family touch. We understand our customers are humans who want an empathetic, supportive service where they feel valued. Throughout thirty years of growing business, no matter how big Permagard has become or continues to be, our family-focused ethos will always prevail.”

Steve Wookey added: “It’s a busy time for all aspects of the Permagard family but, an extremely exciting one nevertheless. Although there are changes happening in the business, we will continue to deliver an experience above and beyond what is expected in our industry, online and offline. We all look forward to the new opportunities the next thirty years of Permagard will bring.”
