Keith Woodlock joins our senior team

We’re pleased to announce that we’ve recruited Keith Woodlock as Project Director to further strengthen our senior team.

Keith is responsible for main contracts and major works, with a focus on our defence sector and MOD contracts.  He has many years’ experience in both modular and traditional builds and has worked on major projects including the Wave Hotel at Butlins Bognor Regis, 5 Churchill Place in Canary Wharf, and Orchard Plaza in Poole.  He has worked in main contracting for large PLCs helping to deliver landmark buildings, offsite solutions and refurbishment schemes nationwide.  He is a member of the Chartered Institute of Buildings and the Association of Project Managers and is a certified member of the Certified Institute of Workplace and Facilities Management (CIWFM).  “I wanted to join Rollalong because they are increasing their turnkey operations, and my skills and experience will help the company to achieve growth in that area,” said Keith.  “My role is all about quality and delivery – ensuring that quality is high and continuing to deliver projects on time and on budgets – while providing the rest of the board with information to help the company grow and be successful.  “I’ve loved it so far and the wider team are brilliant. I’m really enjoying working with the MD Steve Chivers, who has given me the autonomy to use my initiative and make sure I deliver what’s required in line with Rollalong’s vision and values.”   Steve Chivers commented: “We are delighted to welcome Keith, who brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the team.   “We’ve recruited Keith to help us ensure that Rollalong’s major works projects are delivered effectively, on time and under budget, for our valued clients, and we’re confident that he will make an important contribution to our business.” 

We’ve welcomed eight new employees, including a new business development manager to maintain our growth in the residential sector.

Abi Parsons (pcitured left) has joined us from MASS Concrete, where she was Head of Sales and Marketing.

She is just one of eight new appointments at Rollalong, which has experienced a busy 2022 so far across the residential, defence, education and healthcare sectors.

Among the other new recruits to join the company are: Ian Smicle-Thompson (Senior Quantity Surveyor), Aaron Staples and Ian Harman (Quantity Surveyors), Céline Brard (Procurement Assistant), Lynn Robinson (Quality Compliance Officer) and Dumitru Ipate (Lead Designer).

As Business Development Manager Abi is responsible for tendering via frameworks and for seeking new business opportunities in the residential sector, as well for liaising with Rollalong’s external marketing and PR agency.

“I was specifically looking for a design-led manufacturing business with a link to architecture or product design,” said Abi.

“I have a background in CAD, marketing and sales in bespoke furniture, solar PV and aesthetic concrete. This role is quite different, but in a very positive way, and I’m absolutely loving it so far. I’m very happy to learn and I’m up for the challenge.

“We have a fantastic product at Rollalong and it’s been amazing to learn about the pattern book design of homes that we have developed with Magna Housing and Wiltshire Council as well as the land-led opportunities we are working on with our parent company the Newship Group. I’m really excited to see these opportunities develop.”

Growing Rollalong’s share of the modular residential market in the UK is top of Abi’s list of priorities.

“I hope to remain at Rollalong and I already consider this a long-term role,” she said. “I’m striving for growth within my sector and I’m happy to work hard in order to achieve this.

“I’d like to say a huge thank you to Managing Director Steve Chivers, Sales Manager Nigel Allen and all of the team for making me feel so welcome and for offering such great support at all times.”
