We are proud to announce that The Federation of Piling Specialist have awarded our friend and colleague with a Lifetime Achievement Award – Congratulations James !

James began forging his career in 1977 as a civil engineer and in 2002, was one of three founding directors of Martello Piling Ltd, now part of the Franki Foundations UK Group.

Ingenuity and knowledge

Using their ingenuity and knowledge, they converted an excavator into a specialist large diameter (restricted-access and low headroom) piling rig, thus began the journey which shaped James into the invaluable technician and innovation expert he is today.

Since the acquisition of Martello Piling by Franki Foundations, James has continued to work for Franki Foundations UK Group with emphasis on innovation, he makes time for everyone and regularly helps to educate the workforce through talks and on site tuition.

Once again James, congratulations from us all !
