ASH Drywall

We are pleased to announce that ASH Drywall has proudly renewed its sponsorship of the Falcons Inline Hockey Club for the coming year. The video here gives a taste of the excitement.

The Falcons, based out of 'My Skate World' in Eastbourne, are a diverse and growing club - a home for everyone from eager 8-year-old beginners to veterans with years of rink experience.

• Commitment to Potential: Regardless of background or ability, the club is dedicated to supporting every Falcon in reaching their full potential.
• Expert Guidance: Players are guided by a team of dedicated coaches who bring both expertise and an infectious passion for the game.
• Dedicated Training: The teams train hard on Mondays and Wednesdays, preparing for exciting home and away matches.

This renewed support from ASH Drywall makes a real difference to the team, helping ensure the Falcons can continue to provide essential facilities and equipment, keeping the kids geared up and flying high throughout the season!

We look forward to another fantastic year supporting the Falcons community.

The annual ASH Drywall team away day for 2025 was held at Tunbridge Wells’ Hollywood Bowl on Friday, 7 November.

An afternoon of tenpin bowling and 8-ball pool saw the whole crew enjoying themselves with some well-earned R&R. The idea of taking time out for fun and camaraderie is always welcomed by the team, though competing for the “fun trophies” brought out the drive for excellence in everything we do!

Delighted to announce that ASH Drywall have been recognised in Kier Construction Southern’s Supply Chain Awards 2025, for our outstanding contribution to the Combe Valley Hospital project in Bexhill-on-Sea. Once complete, this new £60m facility (part of the Re-designing Inpatient Services in East Sussex (RIS:ES) Programme), will replace outdated mental health service premises in Eastbourne.

Paul Sumpter (Director and head of Commercial Projects) and Sean Ash (Legal Director), accepted the award on ASH Drywall’s behalf – but particular thanks (and a great deal of the credit) of course goes to our valued site team, who continue to do a fantastic job in managing and delivering ASH Drywall’s works package for this project. Your combined efforts have, undoubtedly, been instrumental in securing this award and we extend a profound “thank you” to everybody involved for all your hard work to date.

Many thanks also to the Kier Southern team: Gareth Peerman (Commercial Director) and Martin Perry (Operations Manager) who presented the award; Mark Clark (Project Director); Andrew Morton (Senior QS); Ian Milligan (Senior Site Manager); Carl Martin (Site Manager) and the wider @KierConstruction team, who have been a pleasure to deal with throughout. We look forward to continuing our positive working relationship and successfully delivering this project, together, in the near future.

It was great visiting Balfour Beatty’s ‘West Slope Development’ at the University of Sussex, last week.

Things are progressing well with ASH Drywall’s works package, comprising:

1. Application of Insulation and associated linings to Steel Framed-System;
2. Metal Stud Internal Partitions; and
3. MF and Lay-in Grid Ceilings.

The project is split over 24,030 sq m of floor space; 38 floors; and 7 buildings which, when complete, will operate as additional Student Accommodation and a new Health and Wellbeing Centre on campus.

The project compliments previous works undertaken by ASH Drywall at the University of Sussex (the “East Slope Development” – completed in 2020); further adding to our growing portfolio of experience with purpose-built student accommodation; healthcare; and mixed-use schemes generally, in the South-East of England / Greater London areas.

Many thanks to ASH Drywall’s site team for taking the time to deliver a very engaging (and interesting) tour; and it was motivating to see the results of everyone’s hard work so far. I very much look forward to seeing the completed project, in due course.

Legal Director at ASH Drywall.
