Managing Director Barclay Chalmers has a close association with Exeter and the South West. His first job as a civil engineer was in Exeter working on upgrading the A30, A38 and delivery of a section of the M5 motorway. He said: “I was very much looking forward to returning to Exeter where I have fond memories of working and living in the local area. I’m very pleased with how well these inaugural business breakfast events have been received. They attracted high calibre construction professionals from across the region and, as a result, we have developed new relationships with local supply chain partners to work with us for future projects in the South West. This area of the United Kingdom is booming and we want to be very much part of this and working with good people.” He adds: “We also wanted to give back to the local community and were delighted to raise funds for Bristol City Community Trust at Ashton Gate, and Exeter Foundation at Sandy Park with monies raised for these two worthy charities, totalling 740.”
