Our Story

Qi Refurbs and Contracts Ltd

A Telford refurbishment company

The QiRC story began back in 2019, as a home-based enterprise started by Directors Calvin Boden and Jason Palmer. Before moving to a unit on Stafford Park. Following a rise in workload and the addition of new staff, the team has since moved to a newly-established facility on Hortonwood. 

"We really had outgrown the space we were in, and our office move has now created the additional roles of project manager, systems manager, and Health and Safety apprentice technician with plans for even more expansion and growth," said co-founder Calvin.

With plus 35 years experience behind them, Jason and Calvin have successfully grown the business and together, with a growing headcount, operate the business on a day-to-day basis.
