Director Neil Smith wanted to concentrate on the business planning side of the company and recruited Rhys Garfield a Construction Management graduate through a GO Wales Work Placement. Rhys’ role as a Project Coordinator was to liaise with Contracts Management team to ensure the timber frame projects were completed on time and within budget.
Rhys project managed the timber frame structure from start to end for the building of a £5 million scheme for Stradform (a large client). He brought fresh skills and knowledge to the business to support the team in creating onsite programmes using Microsoft Project to show the breakdown of projects by tasks and deadlines.
90% of Holbrook’s clients base their opinions on what they see onsite; they judge on quality, service and delivery so Rhys has managed to keep customer satisfaction at a high level.
The company were so delighted with the outcome that they employed Rhys on a permanent basis and he is still there 18 months on.
Sharon Lewis Office Manager said:
‘More recently Neil has been involved in managing tenders for clients who want jobs priced to manufacture and erect. This has resulted in a great deal of new business.’
