About the Employer: Back in 1993, Darren Fletcher started Lostock Installations with one simple idea: look after people properly. He began with a single specialism, sprinkler maintenance, and a belief that if you treat clients like family, the rest takes care of itself. Thirty-three years on, that’s still how we work. We’ve grown into one of the North’s most established and trusted names in airport/commercial maintenance, fit-outs and installations, and today our team works for major brands including Chanel, Estée Lauder Group, Jet2 and Avolta (the company behind World Duty Free).
