Colmore Tang Construction (CTC) has expanded its senior team by appointing five new staff members to the company.

The Birmingham-based contractor has named Steve Underwood as its Chief Operating Officer, while Paul Reynolds joins as Operations Director for the Midlands region, Gill McQuade as Head of Procurement, Nicola Markall as Compliance Manager and Louise Perry as Head of Sustainability.

Mr Underwood joins from Shaylor Group, while Mr Reynolds, Mr McQuade, Ms Markall and Ms Perry all previously worked for Carillion.

The new appointments follow a period of continued growth for CTC, with a projected turnover of £85 million for this year. To date, the contractor has delivered 1.45 million square feet of construction projects across 1,500 residential units, a 253-bedroom four-star hotel – the first Park Regis hotel in Europe – 100,000 square feet of BREEAM-certified industrial units and substantial high-end interior refurbishments.


In addition, CTC has several major projects upcoming, including Connaught Square in Digbeth and a 17-storey apartment complex next to the Park Regis hotel in the city. Meanwhile, it is developing two schemes in Slough which will benefit from new Crossrail links to Central London.

Andy Robinson, Chief Executive Officer of the Colmore Tang Group, said: "We have a pipeline of work through until 2021, so we felt the time was right to expand and bring in highly-qualified senior managers who share our vision and values.

"It's a real coup to know that Paul, Gill, Nicola and Louise have joined us from Carillion, as well as Steve moving over from Shaylor Group to take the reigns. It proves how strong CTC has become and we now have a team of very experienced people who share our intention to grow the business."
