Our People

Matt Chilton, Assistant Buyer

It was refreshing to start working for a company that is looking to the future, values its employees and ultimately rewards them for their hard work.

I am responsible for the procurement of materials for site – this can be anything from bricks, to roof trusses, to furniture for our sales cabins and everything in between. It is not all about price; sourcing a quality product is just as important.

The role is diverse and over the three years I have been here, I have learnt so much and there is plenty more to learn; both about construction and procurement. It is not just office-based either – we take quite a hands-on approach to resolving problems on site.

Having come from a local government background (albeit in a different trade), it was refreshing to start working for a company that is looking to the future, values its employees and ultimately rewards them for their hard work.

The rewards and benefits are great. It is not just the bonus scheme, the car scheme, health insurance, or pension which are obviously excellent perks. It is a fun place to work. We have lots of social events such as the STAR Awards and barbeques to name a few.
