New hires drive PAH construction growth

PAH Building & Construction has expanded its team with three new appointments to support continued business growth across the UK.

Quantity surveyor and contracts manager James Tildsley, alongside experienced carpenters Chris Brindley and Andy Ford, have joined the Hampshire-based firm following a series of new contract wins. 

These include insurance reinstatement works and MoD property refurbishments.

James said: “After spending 10 years as a secondary school Maths teacher, I decided I wanted to retrain as a Quantity Surveyor. 

“My career in this industry really began in 2014 and I worked my way up from graduate level to Senior Quantity Surveyor. 

“PAH is a fantastic example of an SME construction firm which gives me the opportunity to be valued as a member of the team rather than being just a part of a large machine. 

“I’m now looking forward to the variety of projects we can get stuck into.”

Chris added: “I have been in this industry for half of my life at 36 years old. 

“I love seeing the end result of a project, so much so that I started my own business and later became a sub-contractor working on various projects including boat work.

“I chose to work with PAH as I felt they were invested in my potential. 

“It’s been a great experience getting stuck in, I feel extremely valued and the company’s dedication to training and upskilling is unlike any other.

Site operative Andy brings strong experience as a self-employed carpenter and construction labourer for over 15 years. 

He added: “It is fantastic to join PAH and to work particularly on the insurance side of the business. 

“It is really rewarding to bring people’s homes back together and to take on the challenge of homes damaged by flooding and fire, which often brings up unforeseeable issues to problem-solve. 

“I have recently passed my Site Manager’s Safety Training Scheme and First Aid Course with PAH, and I am looking forward to taking on more projects over the coming months.”

PAH has grown by 20 per cent in the past year and is on track for a £12 million turnover, having added 14 new hires to boost delivery capacity. 

Founded in 2010, the business specialises in residential retrofit, bespoke new builds and complex remediation projects.

Trevor Wilkins, managing director of PAH Building & Construction, added: “With their combined experience and fresh perspectives, our new additions are already helping us deliver on our ambitious project pipeline while continuing to uphold the highest standards of safety, quality, and efficiency.

“Our growing team brings strong experience from across the industry, enabling us to take on even more and we are looking forward to seeing milestone projects through to completion by the end of the year.”
