October Round Up

4 November 2026 Virginia Scheuerle

​Looking back over October, the things we’ve enjoyed most have all come down to people. The team on site up North, the volunteers who keep Newtown FC going, and the people we caught up with in Blackpool are all there because they care about what they do, and that’s what this month’s update is about.

New Distribution Hub

We hit the ground running in the North of England this month, taking on the internal and external markings for a major supermarket’s new regional distribution hub. Inside, we deployed WarehouseUV, which cures instantly under UV light with zero VOCs or lingering odours. A huge kudos to the team on site; the work is looking fantastic.

Back at Strictly Highways

We headed to Blackpool for our third year at Strictly Highways. It is fast becoming a staple in our calendar, giving us a brilliant platform to catch up with familiar faces, celebrate the sector’s standout talent at the DfT Special Recognition Awards, and dive straight into the big conversations shaping the future of our road networks.

Newtown FC Sponsorship Announced

October marked the official announcement of our four-year sponsorship with Newtown FC. We love seeing local sport thrive in Devon and Newtown FC is run by people who put everything into their club. Supporting their players and volunteers is something we are really pleased to do.

The Question That Has Divided The Office

​It started as a casual question, but the doors versus windows debate has escalated into an all-out office divide. With half the team backing doors and the rest defending windows, we are no closer to an answer than when it started. So settle it for us: which side are you on?  – https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/7KP3BKM

Two worlds, One Mindset

Two different worlds, one shared mindset. Exeter Chiefs player Ethan Roots and QMS Maintenance Manager Victor Tester might work in completely different environments, but their paths to success boil down to the exact same thing: pure determination and drive. Check out our latest recruitment video to hear their stories.

If October proved anything, it is that QMS runs on its people, and that family feel is what makes the work enjoyable. With just seven weeks to go until Christmas, we wanted to give you a heads up that our holiday shutdown starts on the 23rd December through to the 4th of January. Keep an eye out for our November news as we head into the final stretch of the year; there is plenty more to come.

There has been a couple of crews doing the lining and antiskid works local to me on the new surfacing project on Callington road, Tavistock and the quality of work is spot on. Its done nothing but rain here for the last 2 months and as someone who spent over 25 years lining I can appreciate what they`ve been up against, especially with anti skid and MMA lining materials.

The attention to quality and detail within this company is very high and customer concerns are always rectified, leading to high client retention. The company invests heavily into training and development for its staff with some of the best equipment available.

We had them out a few times to our Production sites, and the level of communication with the quality of work is just what we were after! I would recommend them!

Great company! I recently used this company for a last minute job. They were really busy but they managed to squeeze me in. It’s really nice to work with a company that come out in person and really listen to what you need, and then work with you to achieve it! Thanks QMS, you were great! Highly recommend!
