End Systems – Work Winning
We’re happy to announce that we will once again be working alongside Manchester University and Crown House Technologies (CHt) on the Sir Henry Royce Institute project.
The Institute’s remit is to support the UK manufacturing base and reduce the time to take new materials from invention to market.
Working on such a prestigious project and maintaining our continued relationship with the University and CHt is something we’re extremely proud of here at ESL.
End Systems are preparing to start work at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (RNOH) redevelopment at their Stanmore site for TClarke. The new inpatient facility will provide 91 beds with 50% being single rooms to enhance patient privacy and reduce infection.
RNOH is an excellent scheme to add to our portfolio as we steadily increase the number of large scale projects we are procuring whilst also growing our presence in the healthcare sector.
Due to the increase of larger projects we now employ over 40 Commissioning Staff consisting of Commissioning Managers, Engineers and Assistants. Our nationally deployed team services all areas of the UK including London where the RNOH redevelopment is situated.
Our Commissioning Site Supervisor, Daryl Hughes, will adopt the experience and lessons learned on recent major hospital projects to deliver a scope of works including commissioning and testing of mechanical systems including isolation room ventilation, water treatment services including post flushing sampling up to practical completion in accordance with BSRIA BG29:2012 table 11 and DOP testing of HEPA filters.
As we approach the end of 2017 we have a major announcement to share! After starting the business nearly 42 Years ago and having been in the industry 68 Years, Brian Townsend, our Managing Director, has chosen to retire at Christmas joining his wife Audrey for a well-earned retirement. We are sure you will join us in wishing them both a happy and fulfilled retirement.
It will be Business as usual in 2018 and we are pleased to announce Kay Corlett, current Financial Director, will be taking on the role of Managing Director.
Supported by the existing Management Team, with a wealth of experience, & an excellent core staff, End Systems will continue to thrive with the qualities ingrained by Brian. Having just completed one of our most successful Financial Year’s, Brian leaves End Systems on an all-time high.
Finally, we would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!
Earlier in the year we were delighted to be awarded the contract to carry out a range of Commissioning activities at Farringdon Station in London for NG Bailey.
Farringdon Station will become the only station to link all three rail networks: Thameslink, Crossrail and the London Underground. As part of the redevelopment of this important Crossrail station, two new tickets offices are being built to provide step free access to the new platforms, 25m below street level.
End Systems are always keen to work on a wide variety of projects and we are excited to work on complex and challenging schemes like Farringdon.
We are pleased to continue our relationship with NG Bailey and to add another significant project to our portfolio, which has allowed us to employ additional engineers and apprentices to our ever-growing commissioning team.
We are delighted to announce End Systems are currently working on the new Proton Beam Therapy Facility at Manchester’s Christie Hospital carrying out Commissioning & Testing, Water Treatment and Preparation of the Operating & Maintenance Manuals.
The new facility will be one of only two NHS Proton Beam Therapy centres in the UK which will provide a specialist form of radiotherapy that targets certain cancers very precisely, increasing success rates and reducing side-effects. The new facility, due to open in 2018, will see up to 750 patients a year use the new unit therefore reducing the number of patients having to travel aboard.
Our complete turnkey service offering on this prestigious project also includes a pioneering deployment of our latest software development, EndBim. EndBim enables critical data held in the O&M Manual to be accessed via objects within the Building Information Model. This will give facility maintenance staff direct access to valuable O&M data via a virtual model of the MEP Services.
End Systems are proud to be working alongside Interserve on this significant project and to see the advances The Christie are making for cancer treatment
At the start of the year End Systems continued their commitment of supporting local communities and sponsored 3 youth teams, one being the Culcheth Eagles under 7’s Rugby Team. They are an enthusiastic young team who have had a fantastic season wearing their striking Orange and Black ESL Kit!
Shaun Daley, who coaches the team and is also a parent of one of the team members, gave us an insight into their successful season.
“Culcheth Eagles are a local rugby league club with players from age four all the way up to open age, the clubs junior section was set up by Jon McLeod and Phil Houghton in 1999 and has been growing ever since.
The under 7’s, consisting of 15 young men, have gone from strength to strength since forming in the summer of 2016 and are having a superb first season. Their biggest achievement so far is their successful run in the Warrington Clubs Challenge Cup, which involved a series of group games which resulted in two teams progressing to the final which was played at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.
On the night, the team produced a stand out performance which saw them finish the game as winners and be crowned the Under 7’s Warrington Clubs Challenge Champions. For their first season of rugby league the team couldn’t have made a better start and they certainly have looked the part in their brand-new kits that were kindly sponsored by End Systems.”
Congratulations boys – here’s to another great season!

We are pleased to announce that End Systems have received the ‘Trafford College Commitment to Training Award’!
Our Managing Director, Brian Townsend was presented with the award at the recent Trafford College Apprenticeship Awards 2017.
Training has always been a very important part of End Systems and we are delighted to receive another accolade for the dedication to the development of our staff.
End Systems are proud to announce that we have recently secured the commissioning package at No. 1 Spinningfields, Manchester working with NG Bailey.
No. 1 Spinningfields will be a brand-new world class office accommodation with over 260,000 square feet of space. Sitting in the most successful commercial district in Manchester, it’s going to be home to many businesses from any size or industry.
This is the newest addition to our prestigious portfolio of current projects as End Systems approach our 42nd year of delivering high-quality service to the construction industry.
After our success in winning two awards last year, End Systems are pleased to announce they have been nominated in 5 of the 7 available categories for this year’s 2016 CSA Awards to be held at the Effingham Park Hotel on June 17.
We have successful nominations in the following categories
Commissioning Provider of the Year: 2016 sees End Systems complete its 40th year of trading and the nomination in this award category speaks volumes for the long journey the company has made from its’ early days and are grateful for this recognition.
Managing Director Brian Townsend said “It speaks volumes for End Systems and the team that we have been fortunate enough to be nominated in so many categories, it should be a great evening once again with an opportunity to meet industry friends old and new”
Good luck to everybody nominated from across the UK commissioning industry and we’re certain that the success of the awards will be once again replicated when commissioning engineers converge on the Effingham Park Hotel on the evening of June 17th.
In May 2013 we reported our efforts to support local youth in sport.
One of our chosen benefactors were Astley & Tyldesley JFC who play there football in the A Section of the local district league.
In a February fixture, the team played an away game at Darwen Vale High School in Darwen.
Darwen Vale was one of End Systems key projects in 2013 where we helped deliver both O&M Manuals and Commissioning & Testing Services.
As we are all too aware, decent sporting facilities for youngsters are few and far between, but the excellent facilities at Darwen Vale, with their state of the art 3G pitches ensure that winter fixtures, which all too often fall prey to the bad weather, are able to be staged.
Steve Kelly, End Systems Documentation Manager, who’s son plays for Astley & Tyldesley commented ;
“It’s fantastic to be involved in a project professionally only to see the real benefits these projects bring to the wider community,
Darwen Vale is an excellent facility and we hope to return next season“
The team went on to win 4-1 to keep their hope alive for a top 4 finish !
