Retired Founding Member
Pat was one of three founders of Burmor Construction when it was established back in 1978, the other two members being Pat’s father, also called Pat and referred to as Pat Senior, and a brother-in-law, John.
When Patrick joined the company in 1997, Pat Senior was still working and the company boasted three Patrick Burkes, which did lead to some confusion!
Pat retired from the business in December 2023, and considers himself fortunate to have been surrounded by a good team both on site and in the office; quite a number of those people are still here today and very much appreciated.
He left seeing a good selection of younger people joining the company both on and off site, training, qualifying and bringing fresh ideas to compliment traditional valuable knowledge and hopes that the company continues trading and maintaining its values for many years to come.
