Leading Gloucester-based construction company E G Carter & Co announces the expansion of its board of directors this January 2025, with a view to future-proofing its senior team and ensuring its continued success.
The fourth generation company, founded in 1945, welcomes former associate directors Mat Vye, Thomas Jones and Phil Barnes to its board, with the trio bringing a wealth of experience that the firm says reinforces its commitment 'to growth and excellence' across all of its operations.
With turnover approaching £75 million, E G Carter delivers a range of construction services throughout the Midlands and south of England, operating in a variety of sectors from commercial and residential, to healthcare and education, on projects ranging from a few hundred pounds up to £20 million.
The new directors join an established board led by managing directors Joshua and Sam Carter; chairman Michael Carter; company secretary David Carter; and director Peter Burrows.
Mat Vye becomes residential director at the head of the firm's partnership housing team, working to maintain relationships with framework partners and drive the continued procurement of new opportunities, as well as taking on financial, operational and commercial responsibilities.
Thomas Jones will be the company's construction director, overseeing the day-to-day operations of the major works team and ensuring the highest standards of health and safety, quality and programme management are maintained.
Phil Barnes will serve as pre-construction director, with his core responsibilities including the procurement of
new work and key aspects of commercial control.
In a joint statement, Joshua and Sam Carter said: 'We are delighted to announce these new
appointments to our existing board of directors.
'Each individual brings something different, and this wide set of skills is something we are looking forward to expanding on to realise our business plan aspirations.
'We are
excited about welcoming Mat, Thomas and Phil to our board of directors and
seeing them thrive alongside our established directors.'
