ABOUT US
Welcome to Marshels
Welcome to Marshels
At Marshels we have a team of over 30 highly skilled and experienced tradesmen
We’re extremely proud of our team of highly-skilled and experienced tradesmen, who have worked on a variety of projects across Surrey, Hampshire, and beyond. Our goal is to deliver a lasting impact, and to ensure that we meet your every need. We work around you, to your time scale, and guarantee excellent service, every time.
Marshels was founded in 1986 by Jamie & Mandy Elstow who have successfully run the company and built a team for over 32 years. Gary Pickering is one of three Directors at Marshels, and he brings his managerial expertise within the trade industry into the company, in addition to being a key part in the running and development of the business.
We’re a family-run business, and two of Jamie & Mandy’s sons are working within the company, striving towards developing the business and looking to build their own paths. We strive for high standards of work, and only take on tradespeople passionate about their work.
At Marshels, we’ve been home to a number of families over the years; from fathers and sons, to siblings working together. We promote strong relationships within the company work force, and regularly invest in apprenticeship schemes – and that’s why we work towards the promotion of the newer generation of workers, and the development of their skills.
Being part of the local community is essential to us, and to date we’ve been involved in numerous local projects, including the sponsoring of Farnham Carnival and Farnham Cricket Club.
