Our beginnings
We were founded in 2000 by Managing Director Mark Seaborn, an experienced and respected senior executive working in the housing sector.
Mark set up Pennington Choices to provide housing providers with housing consultancy, building and quantity surveying and asset management services.
Key milestones
- In 2005 we acquired WMP Services and W Musker & Partners to provide gas quality auditing (inspecting the management and compliance arrangements property providers have in place in respect of gas appliance testing).
- In 2008, following new legislation, we launched our Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) and Green Deal offering.
- In 2009 we achieved our NICEIC registration for electric auditing.
- In 2010 we acquired Invicta, an asbestos services company based in Bromley. The benefit was two-fold: we added asbestos services to our offering, including asbestos sampling undertaken by the on-site laboratory, and provided a London base in order to build on our Southern relationships.
- In 2015 we moved our Head Office to our current home in Warrington to provide sufficient space for our expanding team.
- In 2016 we opened our second asbestos sampling laboratory in Warrington.
