In July 2017, our Director, John Langley completed the prestigious entrepreneurial programme run by global investment bank Goldman Sachs, called the 10,000 Small Business Programme.
JML Contracts was chosen as one of 60 businesses, UK wide out of 300 applicants to take part in the UK-wide programme and benefit from high quality, practically focussed business and management education through a series of residential workshops and webinars. The curriculum has been designed specifically to offer smaller, scalable businesses access to world class international and national experts to learn more about entrepreneurialism. The programme aims to enable small UK business owners to grow their organisations, expand their market potential and create local job opportunities.
The programme gives participants an opportunity to meet and work with a wide range of business owners from across the country and to join the National Alumni network of those who have undertaken the programme in the past.
JML Contracts became a member of The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) in 2016. The FSB are experts in business and offer their members a wide range of vital business services including a legal protection scheme, financial expertise, digital advertising services and a powerful voice in government. Their mission is to help smaller businesses achieve their ambitions.
JML became a member of Timber Development UK (formerly TRADA) in 2017. Being TDUK members gives JML access to a wealth of technical information and know-how that allows us to help you even more.
TDUK is recognised internationally as a centre of excellence on the specification and use of timber and wood products. They research the best ways to work with and treat timber, as well as working to best exploit its properties.
If you have a particularly unique question or project that is outside the experience of our own timber experts, TDUK are the people we will confer with. This puts JML in an even stronger position when it comes to helping our customers.
STA Assure is a scheme by the Structural Timber Association (STA) of which we are members that defines levels of accreditation to provide customer assurance.
The STA Assure membership and quality standards scheme is designed to benefit both customers and members alike, promoting the differing specialisms, accreditations and quality standards held by STA members. As such, we just wanted to provide you with some more information about what this scheme means for us and you.
The STA has established three levels of membership accreditation within this scheme; Gold, Silver and Bronze. The relevant accreditation highlights the differing levels of in-house quality procedures, management systems and product performance as well as external accreditations held by STA members, offering clients complete transparency.
We are pleased to announce that we have been awarded with STA Assure Level Gold which enables us to further demonstrate our high quality standards to the market and provide complete reassurance for our clients.
In June 2017, JML Contracts was awarded a number of international accreditations ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS ISO 45001 which demonstrate its commitment to the quality, health and safety and environmental management.
The ISO 9001 accreditation is recognised worldwide as the International benchmark for quality within an organisation. JML Contracts was able to demonstrate dedication and commitment to meeting customer needs; operating efficient management processes; and delivering consistent, good quality products and services to achieve this.
The ISO 14001 accreditation was achieved due to a systematic approach to environmental management and dedication to sustainable development – as a business JML Contracts is committed to reducing the environmental impact on a daily basis.
And finally, the business was awarded the OHSAS ISO 45001 recognising the efficient and effective Health and Safety processes it has in place, identifying, controlling and managing risks to ensure the highest level of safety employees and visitors to its premises.
We are delighted to have been awarded Citation Health & Safety Management accreditation, confirming our commitment to maintaining the highest levels of health and safety.

We are delighted with our JML Joro house kit. The entire process of arranging the build has been easy, and there has been clarity at every stage. Everyone who has been involved in the build has been professional, friendly and very prompt in offering advice and support.
The kit delivery and erection was handled quickly and efficiently. The quality of the product is excellent, and we love the fresh, contemporary design.
We highly recommend this company.
Thompson, Nairn
"JML had their own in-house Architect and this got the project moving and on budget. JML built and erected the SIPs frame of a large extension to the rear of our property. They also did the roofing and a front porch, together with the cladding. Once involved, the project went very smoothly and I wish we had involved them right from the start. The guys on site were very good, and I can't fault the service in any way. The main part of the build is now finished, although we still have a lot to do internally and outside. I can't recommend this company enough, and I would suggest you contact them from the start, and use their Architects etc. if needed. It will save you a lot of hassle. They are not the cheapest, but you do get very high quality at a reasonable price, and the project we did represented great value, compared to other quotes we had from more traditional methods of building. The work was also all done to the correct timescale, which is rare in this industry. I would not hesitate to recommend them or use them again".
Logan, St Andrews
"A good team that hold many years of experience in the construction of new tech construction methods. Project was on time and the team that came down from Scotland were polite and hard working".
Ian Dilks, Norwich
"First class service from Commercial Manager, Derek McIntyre, at all stages of the project. Once on site, Gavin Brock and his installation team were skilled and highly efficient. JML SIPs are a great team and know their product."
G. Smith, Strathaven
"For you and your team to hit your estimated build costs at every turn and to do it before deadline was a real credit to your organisation and efficiency and a massive relief to ourselves. We could not have asked for better building contractors. John was so patient and tolerant of my crazy plans and last minute alterations to the house."
Mr & Mrs Wilson, Tree Cottage, Killearn
"We are extremely pleased with the professional service provided by JML SIPs. Not only is the work to a high standard but also the positive and client specific approach was exceptional throughout."
Robin Wilson, Auchterarder
"JML SIPs provided a friendly, efficient service which was completed within the set timescale and within budget."
Ian Reynolds, Killikrankie
"JML SIPs were very professional and conscientious throughout all the stages of the construction of this high specification property. Their attention to detail, responsiveness and service provision were first class."
Douglas Sheasby, Dunblane
"We are delighted with the high standard of renovation and extension work recently carried out by JML SIPs. John and Robin proved invaluable with help and advice as the project progressed and all the direct tradesmen employed by them were helpful, courteous and efficient. No problem was too big or small and they were very flexible with all arrangements."
Bob Lindsay, Dunkeld
"The team were courteous and hard working, arriving promptly on site every day. The site was also kept very tidy with cut blocks and slates stacked for use before any new materials were cut. Every comment from the local community about the build has been positive and I am happy to pass on the recommendation to anyone considering building a house."
Gordon Motion, Stirlingshire
JML SIPs provided a first class service in building our four-bedroom house in Moray. We were highly impressed with the design consultant who listened to our requests, came back with drawings and ideas and with us decided on the house that woud meet all our needs. We were supported through the whole building process, were consulted in respect of planning and authorisation and we felt that we were listened to all through the experience. It is not too much to say that we enjoyed the journey. During the build the workmen were well mannered and hard working. They were clearly skilled craftsmen and were confident and efficient in their work. The manager and designer were attentive to our request for change and were creative in managing any problems that arose. When we contacted the office manager and the reception staff they were friendly and very helpful. We had an excellent experience with JML SIPs and would certainly use them again if we were to build another house.
