Wren and Taylor Wimpey achieve top safety recognition with FIRA

Wren Contracts has reinforced its position as a leader in safe, high-quality kitchen installation across UK construction sites, achieving an outstanding 98.4% in a recent FIRA Gold Installation assessment for its work on the Primrose Gardens development with national housebuilder Taylor Wimpey.

Onsite safety underpins every element of Wren’s Contracts division. The team’s meticulous, end-to-end approach – from pre-delivery risk assessments to post-installation sign-off – ensures consistent quality, compliance, and safety at scale. Achieving FIRA Gold Installation status demonstrates that Wren not only meets but exceeds the industry’s highest benchmarks for installation process, workmanship, and safety.

“Wren’s performance was exemplary. FIRA Gold Installation is designed to verify that companies have robust systems in pace and that contractors follow the correct procedures, maintain stringent safety standards and workmanship is of the highest level. The quality demonstrated at Primrose Gardens - from safe handling and sequencing to precision finishing - is among the best we have assessed, and Wren should be extremely proud of this achievement.”

Setting a benchmark for installation excellence

The result at Primrose Gardens signifies Wren’s investment and commitment to safe, efficient and high-quality installation processes, from delivery, handling and installation to final inspection. For developers, it provides assurance that Wren Contracts can deliver safely and consistently at scale across live construction sites.

As Wren continues to expand within the new-build and large-scale development sector, its FIRA Gold achievements strengthen its position as a trusted partner to leading UK housebuilders.

Matt Weatherill, Head of Installations at Wren Contracts “Safety and quality are completely embedded into how we operate. Every member of the Wren Contracts team takes responsibility for ensuring installations on live development sites are completed safely, meticulously and on time.
