Despite the initial challenges, the company grew from strength to strength, and in 1958, Arnold James (St Albans) Ltd was created. The company continued to expand, and in 1982, Arnold's son, Nick joined the firm, bringing his expertise as a building services engineer. Today, the company is located at the Metro Centre in St Albans, where it continues to provide high-quality building services to clients across various sectors.
