On Wednesday 16th December Mixbrow Construction held their annual Client’s Sporting Event.  After coffee & bacon rolls, the morning was spent locked in fierce combat; Clay Pigeon Shooting.  Following a closely contested battle, requiring steely nerves and a rather fetching choice of eyewear, Stuart’s team emerged the victors.

Scores were compared and excuses were made over a relaxed festive lunch.  Restored, we reconvened at the lake to while away the afternoon, engaged in less combative pursuits.  Or so we thought.  The announcement of prizes available for ‘largest fish’ & ‘most fish’ landed reignited the hunger for victory.  Competition did not cease until it was no longer possible to see the floats bobbing in the water.  Had head torches been available, they would surely have been deployed.  A nine pound monster, wrestled to the bank by Paul Boswell was, by some margin, the largest of the day, while Andy Garnham’s focus and commitment was rewarded when he declared on a century to secure the prize.

An evening meal and drinks topped off a very enjoyable day, spent in great company.

Mixbrow Construction is delighted to welcome David Johnson back to their management team.  David spent many successful years as their resident maintenance contracts manager at PPG Industries in Stowmarket.  After a brief spell away, David has returned to Mixbrow Construction as Commercial Projects Manager.  He will be responsible for the successful implementation of the future strategy for their small works and maintenance division.

After 20 successful years of leading the company, John Prentice has decided to stand down as Managing Director of Mixbrow Construction.  John will continue to sit on the board of Directors, providing support and guidance in his new role as Chairman.  Darren Webb has been appointed as Managing Director of Mixbrow Construction.  The enthusiasm and commitment that Darren has demonstrated in his previous role, as Construction Director, combined with his passionate approach will help to drive Mixbrow Construction on to greater things in the future.  The Board are also delighted to announce the appointment of Doug Jaye to the position of Contracts Director.  Doug has been a vital member of our management team since he joined us in 2002.  His vast construction knowledge and practical experience, coupled with his unwavering commitment to “doing things right” bring great strength to the board.  Rob Berry continues in his dual role as Financial Director and Company Secretary, while Stuart Leech has shifted his focus slightly.  As Operations Director, Stuart is targeting continual improvement and raised standards of professionalism throughout the business.  To this end Mixbrow Construction continue to develop its Integrated Management System.
