Lee explains more about his background and how Jewson Civils Frazer is well placed to achieve a number one position:

“I left school after my A levels and went straight into a construction company. It was a lot of site-based work and after two years I moved into the merchant sector. For 18 years I progressed up the ladder which resulted in my promotion four years ago into this role, specialising in the power sector – a role I absolutely love. This breadth of experience has taught me many things about the important interface between our branch capability and the needs’ of our customers. In this business there is no lag between the two, which is vital to ensure we deliver on our supply promises. Beyond that, there are two other critical factors that differentiate us. First, it’s our dedicated stock on the ground. We’re not operating civils and utilities as a ‘bolt on’, this is our core business and we are investing heavily in people, branches and supplier relationships to deliver a market-leading product range. Second, it’s our capability to value-engineer bespoke solutions for our customers. This isn’t a one-size fits all business. Customers and framework partners are looking for partners that are prepared to deliver solutions that go beyond product, and deliver other cost and resource efficiencies. That’s the Jewson Civils Frazer way.

This is an incredibly exciting time for our business. We have come through a global crisis stronger than when we went into it. We have developed and nurtured many new relationships as a consequence of our proactivity. Personally, I have big ambitions for the power team and I am proud to be part of this the Jewson Civils Frazer story.”
