Caddick Civil Engineering names new managing director

Wakefield-headquartered Caddick Construction Group has appointed Paul Ellenor as managing director of its specialist sub-contracting business, Caddick Civil Engineering.

Paul joins the business from Tilbury Douglas Construction, where he built a 40-year career and most recently served as Yorkshire regional director, with responsibility later extending into the North East. 

He brings extensive experience across civil engineering, infrastructure and construction delivery.

In his new role, Paul will lead all areas of Caddick Civil Engineering, with a focus on growing its third-party contracts portfolio, strengthening regional presence and driving operational and commercial performance.

Paul said: “Joining a business of Caddick Construction’s scale and reputation is a fantastic opportunity, and the fact it remains a family-run business makes it a perfect fit for me. 

“There are strong values already embedded into the civils business, and my priority is to protect and build on those by securing the right work, delivering it right first time, and doing so safely and to the highest standards. 

“I’m also passionate about developing people, and bringing new talent into the business, creating a strong throughput of future leaders, and paying forward the opportunities I’ve been given so the next generation can continue to drive the business forward.”

Caddick Civil Engineering delivers civil engineering and infrastructure services across the North of England and will continue to support projects within the wider Caddick Construction Group, while expanding its external client base under Paul’s leadership.

Paul Dodsworth, group managing director of Caddick Construction Group, added: “We are delighted to welcome Paul as our new managing director for Caddick Civil Engineering, an important step in our ambitions to replicate and grow the successful civils model we have established in Yorkshire across the North East. 

“We have always been focused on expanding our business sustainably, maintaining a strong and consistent turnover, and building on our solid foothold. 

“In time, we also see opportunities to expand civils into other regions where Caddick Construction has a strong presence, including the North West and the Midlands. 

“Paul is extremely well placed to drive this forward while maintaining the high standards we set for ourselves and our clients.”
