West Midlands based construction company Shaylor Group has
recognised Ken Rawe's contribution to the growth of the business by
promoting him to director of the Shaylor Special Projects
division.
As director of Shaylor Special Projects Ken will continue to
lead the division, which specialises in new-build and refurbishment
construction projects valued at up to £1.5million. He
aims to develop new business opportunities across a number of
sectors, including commercial, industrial, leisure, retail,
education, public services and heritage works, by capitalising on
the ability to mobilise quickly to meet immediate client
demand.
Ken has worked in the construction industry for over 30 years
and comes from a procurement background. He joined Shaylor in 1995
and in his previous role of Business Improvement Manager, led a
major strategic initiative which instilled a collaborative and best
practice culture across the Group, resulting in repeat business,
awards and enhanced new business opportunities.
This successful programme gave Ken a unique insight into all
areas of the buisness, and led to his appointment as head of
Special Projects. Ken also championed Shaylor Group's Corporate
Social Responsibility programme and was responsible for the
composition of its first CSR Annual Report.
"Shaylor continues to demonstrate that it really is one of a
kind. Its commitment to building a sustainable business by
spreading risk across a balanced portfolio is one that continues to
serve the company extremely well," says Ken.
"These are certainly challenging times for the construction
industry, but I'm enjoying my work more than ever and am delighted
to join the Shaylor board. I'll be looking to grow the special
projects area of the business which will, in turn, help us achieve
our ambition of cementing Shaylor Group's reputation as a leading
Midlands contractor with a growing national presence."
Shaylor Special Projects is one of four distinct areas of
expertise within Shaylor Group, which reported a healthy £9m
balance sheet in its latest Annual Report and Accounts and has
already secured more than 80% of the turnover targeted for
2012.
