It follows a year of investment in training and development for staff at Deeley Group as the firm is set to surpass £100 million turnover for the first time in 2026.
In 2025 the family firm has delivered 679 hours of training and CPD for its business, with a focus on upskilling staff in areas such as building safety, Temporary Works legislation and the roll out of quality and defects management application Procore.

Deeley Group’s commitment to training and career progression has led to a high staff retention rate and a track record of long service within the team.
Almost half of the current team have more than five years’ service, with nearly a third of those having been with the business for over a decade.
On site, the business has welcomed Joseph Kane and Dave Callagher as site managers, alongside Mike Power as assistant site manager. Jamie Travis and Declan Sheehan have joined as contracts managers, also Darren Adams and Mark Dixon have been hired as project managers.

The pre-contract team has also been strengthened to support the increase in turnover, with Dave Stannage being appointed as a senior estimator, with Vimal Odedra joining as a senior planner.
These appointments further strengthened delivery across the firm’s key sectors of later living, care, residential, commercial and education.
The wider business has also been supported through the appointment of Florence Bullwright as its first ESG coordinator and Samual Ankrah as aftercare operative, with Debbie Bent joining the team as receptionist.
