Dunhams is part of Kinovo Group, alongside Purdy and Spokemead, which has recently released its Annual Report and Accounts. Together, the group leads in the provision of specialist property services centered on safety and regulatory compliance, home and community regeneration, and sustainable living.
Dunhams specialises in:
- Electrical installations, domestic and commercial
- Compliance and regulatory-led maintenance and testing
- Mechanical, general building and renewable energy services
- Electrical IoT smart system installations
- Communal ventilation and emergency lighting

The report highlights Dunhams outstanding contribution to Kinovo growth, which includes:
- 68% increase in revenue year on year
- Diversification and a drive to expand service offering
Alison Beach, Commercial Director explains more about Dunhams’ success this year: “We’re really proud of everything we’ve accomplished this year, and the report shows the full effect of our efforts to diversify our capabilities over the past few years. Our focus has been on taking on a wider range of electrical, mechanical, and general building works for our key customers. These included our three-year project to install IoT-enabled smoke and mould detection systems and upgrade communal lighting to LED systems throughout the Poplar Harca estate.

Teamwork
“In addition, we were pleased to support our sister company, Purdy, in delivering a key project. Leveraging our electrical capabilities, we seconded several skilled technicians to complete EICR testing and remedial work for one of its key clients. This project exemplifies the value of being part of the Kinovo Group and how collaboration between subsidiaries fosters business growth. The ability to flex our resources when needed while building capacity and securing new contracts is central to our business model and growth strategy. Working once again alongside technology partner, AICO, shortly before the year end, we started a pilot project for a new customer, installing smoke and mould detection systems in 40 properties. If successful, this life-saving technology will be rolled out in up to 3,800 homes.
Building skills through apprenticeships
“Attracting, developing, and retaining the next generation of skilled workers is crucial for our business and the construction industry. According to the latest report by the Construction Industry Training Board (“CITB”), 45,000 additional workers per year are required to meet UK construction demand by 2027. At Dunhams, we are proud to play our part in addressing this need. We collaborate with local colleges and are committed to bringing on board a minimum of two new apprentices every year.
“We work closely with our apprentices ensuring they receive the necessary training and support to enable their development. This, alongside our approach of promoting from within, is key to attracting and retaining apprentices. We engage with school and college leavers to highlight our sector’s attractive, diverse, and vibrant nature. Out of our 19 employees at Dunhams, we currently have five apprentices and one improver, showcasing our dedication to developing the future workforce.”


David Bullen, Kinovo’s Chief Executive Officer adds:
“The group has made significant progress as we continue to deliver on our strategic goals, with an excellent performance ahead of previous expectations, underpinned by improved operational efficiency. Dunhams has made significant contributions to this success.
“Thank you to the Dunhams team, and everyone in the group, for helping to make this such a positive year. We’ve set firm foundations for future growth and our values-based culture will help us continue to raise living standards across the UK, supporting families and communities, keeping them safe, and making the possibilities of tomorrow a reality today.”
