This year marks the 75th anniversary of S I Sealy, one of the foremost and most respected building services engineering design consultancies in the North of England.
Founded in 1949 by Sidney Inwood Sealy, the company has grown into one of the largest specialist MEP design consultancies in the Northwest, with almost 40 mechanical, electrical, sustainability, and digital design engineers.
Commenting on the reasons for the company's success, Director Daniel Madden said, "As a business, we have continually innovated, staying at the forefront of our industry. We advised clients on energy efficiency over 40 years ago, before it was a topic in the media or on Board of Directors' agendas."
S I Sealy now has a highly skilled, experienced, and knowledgeable team of sustainability engineers, building & energy modellers, and building physics engineers, branded as Net Zero UK. This team works closely with MEP engineers to advise clients on their journeys towards net zero carbon. The company has had some remarkable successes, including identifying the potential 92% carbon reduction for the Liverpool Heart & Chest NHS Foundation Trust.”
This year celebrating 38 years of working at S I Sealy, Director David Stafford continued "Our people are the cornerstone of our success. We have always supported the professional development of our team members and encouraged their career progression, promoting from within where possible. Daniel and I would like to thank our team members for their continued hard work, can-do approach, and loyalty to the S I Sealy ethos and culture."
S I Sealy's early projects included the John Dalton Building, Ayton Building, and the iconic Domestic & Trades College in Manchester, affectionately called "The Toast Rack" by local residents.
