Graham Jackson - Managing Director
As managing director and co-founder of the company, I have the benefit of over 40 years experience in construction. I have worked with Colin for over 40 years and with the help of my co-directors, we have driven the company forward from a modest turnover in 1991 to a multi million turnover in the current year. This growth has been achieved with cautious management. We have never borrowed from any bank or financial institution and our dividend policy has ensured that company reserves are more than adequate for our needs.

My prime role is to generate business for the company. Firstly, to keep our vast workforce in secure employment and to pay good salaries and bonuses to our staff and directors. Secondly, to produce a profit for possible dividends and to finance further expansion. In this highly competitive world of construction tendering, I will often accept a contract price giving us minimal profit but with the knowledge that we can make a profit with efficient site management and prices re-negotiated with our many suppliers and subcontractors.

In this way, we have established an excellent reputation for delivering quality and value for money for both the public and private sectors.

Colin Jackson - Director
A co-founder of the company with over 40 years experience of construction, I am responsible for our 'small works' department running contracts ranging in value from £10,000 to £250,000.

Our philosophy of starting on time, doing quality work to the client's specifications, and finishing on time applies equally to a £10,000 project as it does to a £1 million project. With this type of work in the private sector, it is important to communicate with the individual client to assess their needs and produce the goods for them. This will inevitably lead to repeat business and recommendations to other clients. This work can be a significant and very profitable part of the company's business.

I am also responsible for the purchase and maintenance of all company plant and vehicles. I ensure that each site has the necessary resources of both purchased and hired plant and that these costs are quantified and reported to the financial director to be included accurately in the company costings.

Kieren McDonnell - Operations Director
With over twenty five years experience in the construction industry, I have gained all the skills necessary to oversee every operation from tender to delivery ensuring that our corporate goals of quality and value for money are achieved on site and our reputation goes from strength to strength.

This success has been achieved by hard work throughout the company and I'm greatly involved with the investment in our teams, communicating our company philosophy at all levels and rewarding staff for their quality of work and loyalty.

Planning each contract and adapting to changing circumstances are essential elemants within my role that have been key to the development and growth of our services.

With the additional capability of troubleshooting and ensuring financial stability and budget targets, I have been able to establish excellent relationships and become a valued advisor to our clients.

Working from our grass root up, I have developed many working teams who trust and understand the decisions I make.

The communications of our core objectives and strategies are provided on a daily basis and within the close network of our skilled workforce, I encourage open views and ideas that are often included in the initiatives taken to improve our services.

Helen Senior - Financial Director
I have been with the company for 16 years and developed new accounting and costing systems to cope with each stage of the company's development. We now use a fully integrated costing and accounts package to give us the reports required to monitor each individual contract on a daily basis and to give us the overall financial results on a monthly basis.
I could write a book on managing the finances of a multi million pound turnover company with no bank overdraft which obviously requires excellent credit control, negotiated payment terms with clients and very good relationships with suppliers and subcontractors.

I restrict my support team of accounts and administration staff to a minimum to reduce overheads and we rely on hard work, efficiency and communication to get all reports out by the set deadlines required for my co-directors to maintain their controls on each contract and to ensure that we are achieving our overall financial targets.
Monitoring of all costs and setting accurate overhead recovery rates are vital to ensure that we are aware of all implications of prices agreed by both competitive tender and negotiation.

Proven leadership skills, including managing and motivating other staff to achieve company objectives. An effective communicator at all levels within an organisation. Good problem solving and analytical skills. Tony has superb man-management skills and will lead his team through the completion of any contract.
