This year marks a significant milestone for Quora Group as we are celebrating 20 years of innovation, growth, and excellence in Building Maintenance Services. Since its founding in 2005, Quora Group has built a reputation for delivering high-quality mechanical, electrical, and plumbing solutions across the UK. From humble beginnings to industry leader, our journey has been defined by continuous expansion, strategic acquisitions, and a commitment to technical excellence.
2005: A Vision for Excellence
Quora Group was founded by Graham and Craig Firth (father and son) with a clear mission: to redefine Building Maintenance Services through advanced heating technology and engineering expertise. Their focus on quality and efficiency, combined with strong family values, laid the foundation for a company that would go on to become a trusted name in the industry. From the outset, investment in apprenticeships and training was a priority, ensuring a highly skilled workforce to support future growth.
2014: Expanding Our Expertise
A major turning point came in 2014 when Quora Group acquired Asmech Services, a well-established mechanical and electrical services company with a 30-year legacy. This strategic acquisition allowed Quora Group to expand its capabilities, broaden its client base, and enhance its work streams. Many of Asmech’s skilled professionals remained with the company, strengthening the team and further cementing Quora Group’s reputation in Building Maintenance Services
2017-2018: Industry Recognition and Leadership
As the company continued to grow, its contributions to the local economy and business community were recognised. In 2017, Quora Group was honoured with the “North Tyneside Business of the Year” award, followed by the “Northumberland and Tyneside Business of the Year” award in 2018. These accolades highlighted our role as a leader in Building Maintenance Services, reinforcing our commitment to quality and innovation.
2019-2022: Strengthening Leadership and Innovation
In 2019, Paul Murray joined the leadership team as a director, bringing valuable expertise that helped drive further growth. By 2022, the company saw a major transition when Alan Stott retired, and Liam Stott was promoted to Projects Director, demonstrating Quora Group’s dedication to developing leadership from within.
2025: A Ground-breaking Contract
This year has already been a landmark one, with Quora Group securing its largest contract to date. Partnering with SES Engineering Services, we are playing a key role in the Envision AESC Gigafactory project—an achievement that underscores our ability to deliver large-scale, complex projects. This success reflects the expertise and reliability that have positioned Quora Group as a preferred Commercial Heating Contractor and heating contractor in the industry.
The Present: A Leader in Building Maintenance Services
Today, Quora Group stands as a leading provider of Building Maintenance Services, working with top brands across the UK in sectors such as education, healthcare, defence, and commercial industries. Our focus on innovation, sustainability, and technical excellence continues to drive our success.
The Future: Sustainability and Technological Advancement
Looking ahead, our vision for the next decade is clear. We are committed to sustainable growth, integrating eco-friendly products, energy-efficient solutions, and carbon reduction initiatives. Investment in smart systems, REVIT modelling, and off-site manufacturing will enhance efficiency and sustainability, while our apprenticeship and training programmes will ensure a skilled workforce for the future.
