Described by his friends as mad, up for anything, funny and hilarious, Matt is known for using the phrase “Live the dream!” Outside of work, he does well to fulfill this, whether it’s enjoying sports such as rugby league, golf and boxing, going to the pub, spending time with his children and girlfriend and travelling.

It’ll be fine
Stephen brings a wealth of experience and expertise to his role as project manager. With a varied site, services and project management background, he thrives on each new project and the set of unique challenges it may bring.
Stephen’s easy going but professional attitude puts clients at ease as he takes care of their needs while creating a jovial atmosphere. One of his mantras is that life’s too short; let’s just get the project built between us.
A young family takes up most of Stephen’s spare time and DIY around the house take up the rest. He is a keen biker but strictly only the motor type and when it comes to sport, Rugby is a favourite. Stephen follows London Irish and enjoys the annual Six Nation’s tournament.
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself
Vince’s career in construction began after leaving school. He trained as a gas engineer and later set up his own building company, which kick-started his experience working on construction sites.
With 22 years experience on the tools as a dry liner under his belt, Vince worked his way up from site manager to contracts manager and eventually found himself working for a main fit out contractor for three years as a project manager. In his time there, he completed a £2.6m fit out, which resulted in the company’s first ever SKA Gold rating – an achievement he is especially proud of.
Family life keeps Vince busy. However, he enjoys live music and loves going to concerts as much as he can. Watching motorsports is another one of his favourite past times – any type will do, particularly Formula 1 and Moto GP (motorbikes).
Vince enjoys seeing a project through to completion and the client with the end product. He describes himself as a nightmare to work with “I’m always right! And I tend to think I can do the job better than anyone else, so I’m never satisfied”. It’s an approach that works and keeps the client happy. Thankfully, Vince isn’t as bad to work with as he thinks!
Being good at what you do takes a lot of hard work
