Hi Nigel,
I'll be straight — this is a cold approach. We build bespoke job management platforms for M&E and building services contractors.
I came across Wheatley while looking at M&E contractors in Yorkshire and wanted to get in touch. I put this page together first so you can see what we actually looked at, rather than just taking my word for it.
Family-owned since 1997, full-spectrum M&E — design, installation, testing and inspection across commercial, industrial, retail, and public sector. The project list speaks for itself: a 12-storey BTR in Sheffield, Bierley Crematorium, an 80-bed care home in Cleckheaton, a 402-bed student block in Leeds. Clients including Rolls Royce, HSBC, Carlsberg, and the MOD.
The in-house Revit and 3D design team is notable — most contractors at this size don't have that capability in-house.
With multiple live schemes running simultaneously — different sites, different engineers, different subcontractors — there's a lot of moving parts to keep track of. The bit we couldn't see from the outside is how job scheduling, engineer dispatch, compliance sign-off and subcontractor coordination happens day-to-day.
In similar businesses we often see this running across a mix of tools — spreadsheets, email chains, phone calls. It works, but it can get harder to manage as the project list grows. It may well be that Wheatley has this handled — but it felt worth raising.
25+ years, family-owned, blue-chip client base, in-house design capability. That's a business that's earned its reputation through delivery. Any platform we'd build would be designed to support how Wheatley already works — not add friction to it.
We're Identify Digital — a web development agency based in Wakefield. We build bespoke operations platforms for contractors who dispatch teams to jobs. We've built for groundworks, construction, and field service businesses across Yorkshire. The platforms we build are designed around how the business actually works.
If any of this resonates, the easiest next step is a quick call — no obligation, just a conversation about whether there's a fit.
