Derek Godfrey ICIOB FinstSMM Managing Director

With a background in design and engineering, Derek took over the running of Ellis in 1990. Under his stewardship turnover has grown steadily with forecasts for 2010/11 approaching £9m. Well known for his innovative and solution-focused approach, his style of leadership continues to attract the best talent to the Ellis team at every level.

"Every project we deliver is bespoke and demands our care, absolute attention to detail and total commitment to provide the very best service - this rationale doesn't apply occasionally, it applies every time we go on site."

Kevin Saunders Business Development Manager

Kevin has an extensive track record in multi-million pound project management and frame works procurement and is driving a continued expansion of the customer base. He has delivered a significantly improved ratio in the number of secured project bids and is highly skilled in technical and commercial negotiations.

"Clients should enjoy the projects that Ellis manage. I want them to be happy to repeat the experience with us and not dread having people on site. We are different and I want clients to experience this."
