FST ENFIELD PROJECT’S REVIEW OF THE YEAR 2006

Like many organisations, the start of a new year presents us with an opportunity to reflect on the passing of the previous year and, hopefully, pull out some highlights and successes to encourage us for the coming year. If it’s good enough for the sport, entertainment, media and film industry then its good enough for us!

Here are a few of our own ‘Oscar’ Nominations for 2006

  • Enfield Gallery 2006: New premises From the front

    'Moving into our new premises'. Directed by Steve Wagner & starring Jeff Richards & the painting team. After more than a years wait, we finally moved to 187 Angel Place, Fore St, Edmonton in November 2005 but it was January before we had completed our redecoration both inside and out. The end result, however, was well worth the wait.

  • Enfield Gallery 2006: Primary School - As it was

    A Special Needs Primary School with Special Needs. Directed by Jeff Richards & starring Michael Conway as the mower man & Len Miller as the head gardener The garden of this local school had been vandalised leaving the children very distressed. We spotted the article in the local newspaper and offered our services, free of charge, to help restore the garden, keep it in order and rebuild the climbing frame. Over the year a real relationship has developed with the children and the garden is now looking great and everyone enjoys the pleasure of seeing the enjoyment they all get from it.

  • Enfield Gallery 2006: The Sports Pavilion - The Start

    The Sports Pavilion. Directed by Peter Ives and starring Duane Green, Nick Dick & Howard Chidzey as the decorators This council owned pavilion represented a massive undertaking in atrocious weather conditions and was, nonetheless, completed earlier than estimated. It was also Jeff's first solo major job in his new position as External Works Manager.

  • Enfield Gallery 2006: Painting at the hospital

    Painting at the Hospital Directed by Jeff Richards in his 2nd major production of the year ably supported by Len, Duane, Tom and the usual cast but with a debut performance from James Smith as the new man. A major task for us was the refurbishment of a ward and ante-rooms at the local hospital. A major contract for a major customer was, again, completed to exacting standards in often difficult circumstances, demonstrating once again, this time in a commercial enterprise, that the team can compete at any level.

  • Enfield Gallery 2006: The New Deck - In the beginning

    The New Deck Directed by Brian Meakins with a full line up of aspiring newcomers and featuring Tom White in his new role as leading carpenter with Len Miller in the support role as the cement maker. 'Find a way to improve this mass of broken and uneven concrete' was our brief. A wooden deck and railway sleepers was our answer, with our usual immaculate finish. Decks are becoming something of a 'signature' project for the Enfield team.

  • Enfield Gallery 2006: The St Albans Driveway - Getting it out

    The St. Albans Driveway Directed by Brian Meakins in his final and most demanding production of the year, with Jeff Richards as assistant director. Mike Conway stars again as the tough guy with the wheelbarrow, Len Miller as the man with the ideas and another debutant, Robert Callf adding valuable support. By far our heaviest job so far. Some 14 tons of earth removed; 6 tons of hardcore compacted; 7 tons of wet concrete laid and a ton of shingle spread in 5 days means backache all round but huge degrees of satisfaction in a tough job well completed.

  • Enfield Gallery 2006: The Employment Development Worker - With the two workforce on placements Lynn Adam & Mike Conway

    The Employment Development Worker Directed by Main Office Promotions and starring Jenny Correia as the EDW and Karen Barnes in her brilliant new role as Office Supervisor A crucial stage in the development of the project was achieved in September with Jenny Correia's appointment to this new role, which is designed to build on the workforce experiences by helping them into employment. Stage one of this is invariably arranging placements with organisations in the 'real' world and Jenny has already moved 3 of our workforce into these situations and working hard on finding others.

  • Enfield Gallery 2006: The Big Lawn - Getting it off by machine

    The Big Lawn Another Jeff Richards production with Robert Callf appearing in his second new role and Len Miller and James Smith showing new skills as the rotovators. The guys get to grips with the largest lawn in North London - at least it felt like it by the time they had stripped the original, rotovated the soil & relaid over 200 sq meters of new turf. Another new task but with the same great result.

    These snapshots, both literally and metaphorically, of last year have hopefully given a flavour of what we do, how we do it and what we can achieve by determination, commitment, teamwork and no little skill. Even if Jeff did not appear to enjoy his taste (see photo) we hope you have. If you need more information do give us a ring on 020 8807 6856 or email us
