Meet The Team

Since we started we have ensured that we only have industry leading talent in our business to guarantee delivery. Our core team represents experience from all areas of construction and we can assure you the very best service.

GARY THOMAS Managing Director

Gary is the founder and director of Penguin Co. starting the company back in 2005 as a solo plumber working from his van. From then the business has gone from strength to strength, growing to a larger team in 2014 and then later expanding to offer a building service alongside the plumbing division.

Gary is happiest when he’s on-site and well known for his ‘have-a-go’ approach, he’s always able to find solutions and ways to overcome any of the inevitable design and technical issues that are associated with any scale of plumbing or building work.

TOM GIBSON Plumbing - On site Works Manager

With a wealth of experience from many years in the building trade, Tom can turn his hand to pretty much any task. Working with us initially as a sub contractor before joining the Penguin team proper back in 2017. His key strengths are his deep understanding of the interdependencies of a project and his ability to foresee and more importantly resolve any potential issues or pitfalls, both of which make him an invaluable member of the team.

JONNY BLADES Building - Team Projects Manager

Despite to his youthful looks, Jonny has a wealth of experience and expertise in almost all aspects of construction. His painstaking organisation skills, unwavering positivity and his calm and composed nature are qualities that make him highly valued by the team and customers alike.

JOSH ASH Joiner

As another product of our apprenticeship programme.
Josh has developed his skill-set, on site knowledge and know-how to become a huge part of the business.
He is a calm, easy going member of team and is happy to crack on with any aspect of the build.

PAUL McFARLANE Service & Repairs - Heating Engineer

Taught by his dad when he was fresh out of school, Paul now has over 25 years’ experience in the plumbing industry. If there is a plumbing related problem that Paul doesn’t know the answer to, it’s probably not worth knowing! Paul also helps to support the day to day operations including the efficient running of the plumbing team’s workflow ensuring that they have everything they need to keep the cogs turning.

NEIL HUTCHINSON Service & Repairs - Heating Engineer

With a previous career in the military, you would think that Neil would be meticulously organised.

What he lacks in orderliness he makes up for in skill and efficiency and his can-do approach makes him a firm favourite with our customers.

OLLIE WARBURTON Senior Plumber

Ollie came to Penguin for a work experience placement when he first finished school and basically never left! We’ve been immensely proud to be a part of Ollie’s career development and progression over the years, from his apprenticeship to now as a senior member of the plumbing team.
