Building resilience and capability: Shaping the future of Morgan Sindall Construction

We’ve got some strong characters in the group and everyone has got good ideas and brings different perspectives. We’re all getting to have our say and that’s been really good for me as I’ve been able to get to know people higher up the business. They’re not just a face or a name anymore – I can actually pick up the phone and speak to some of our directors. I’m on their radar now and I’m building more of a profile for myself in the business. I’ve been promoted within the North West since being on Shaping our Future and I definitely think taking part in the programme helped with that. For me, being involved in the programme was a really great opportunity. I enjoyed the opportunity to get away from the day job, sit in a room with other, like-minded people and have the time to start to tackle some of the issues we have as a business. I think what Morgan Sindall has done in getting people like me who work in the business involved in future strategy is a really good idea. We’re competing against so many good contractors and we need that difference of thinking about how we can get ahead of the competition. It will be good to see how the learnings from this process filter out across what we are doing in all the different regions, because we are a decentralised business, but overall I think it’s a really positive thing that Morgan Sindall is doing to differentiate itself in the marketplace.
