Montel Civil Engineering will adopt and commit to the principles of the Building Mental Health Charter.

Principles

Our company is signing this charter and pledging to:

• Provide awareness and understanding of the impact of poor mental ill health to our workforce and promote positive mental health through facilitated workshops, with the aims of:
  • Reducing stigma and discrimination
  • Encouraging conversation in the workplace
• Educate and enable champions from across the workforce to support keeping our people safe
• Provide access to accredited Mental Health First Aid training and provide assistance to signpost workers to support in their communities
• Recognise and accept education and training provided by peers and Building Mental Health partners

As a company, we are committing to the Building Mental Health Framework which underpins the values of our business and supports people in our industry, every day, and throughout their working lives.

Montel Civil Engineering Ltd has announced a board-level restructure as part of its ambitious plans for growth. The move includes the appointment of Simon Turbutt as Managing Director having previously served as the company’s Operations Director, with former MD Jon Kirkland taking on the newly created position of Chief Executive Officer.

Simon Turbutt commented: “We are going forward from a strong foundation the team has built over the last 10 years. These are uncertain and difficult times, but we are taking the opportunity to strengthen our business in a way that will promote growth and sustain profitability for years to come. There are areas we would like to explore, new directions that complement the current business and potential expansion from our existing client portfolio. I am thrilled to be taking on my new role and thank the owners of the business for offering me this fantastic opportunity.”

Simon added. “When I look back to my first step into the industry back in 1989 with Monk Construction Ltd as a trainee Quantity Surveyor on the M5/M42 Northern Link I did not think for one moment that I would end up as Managing Director! My formative years within the Monk/Trafalgar House/Kvaerner group provided some amazing experiences and I was privileged to work and be trained by some of the best people within the industry – I owe them my career!

Hard work and a desire to expand my experience in different areas of the industry enabled me to change career path into project management whilst working for Dean & Dyball Construction Ltd. Various management roles within Dean & Dyball and then G F Tomlinson & Sons Ltd, prepared me for more challenging roles and when Jon Kirkland asked me to join Montel in 2013 to work with him to evolve the business and move it forward, it was too good an opportunity to miss!

The last seven years of Montel have been both exciting and very satisfying, we have a wealth of talent and enthusiasm within our organisation and I look forward to working with them in taking Montel through its next stage of evolution and beyond.”

Montel delivers projects ranging in value from minor works to £10 million and spans numerous sectors including commercial, industrial, local infrastructure, residential, defence and education.

Montel are pleased to announce that we have been awarded the contract to construct a new 1,600-space staff car park at University Hospital, Coventry.

Construction work will start soon on the car park, which will be located on land to the east of the hospital site.

The car park is being delivered by Montel and the University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire (UHCW) NHS Trust’s development partner Prime and is expected to be ready in Summer 2021.

The new car park aims to enhance the overall experience for staff, patients and visitors accessing the hospital, as well as improving vital access for emergency vehicles and public transport.

The new car park will include 34 active Electric Vehicle charging spaces and 46 passive charging spaces, 34 motorcycle parking spaces and 160 bicycle parking spaces. It will be accessed via the main hospital entrance off Clifford Bridge Road.

We are supporting Women in Construction with our Business Development Manager Amanda Mujawar as a Women in Construction Ambassador!
