OUR TEAM’S JOURNEY

SOPHIE OLDFIELD (Operations Director)

I began my Concorde journey many moons ago (2010!) as a Junior Designer having graduated from Bournemouth University with a degree in Interior Design. I always wanted to be an interior designer from a young age, I even remember running home from Brownies as a child to watch Changing Rooms – I was hooked!

My passion for design and the amazing projects I got to work on here at Concorde meant I was gradually promoted to a Mid-weight and then Senior Designer. From there my career path began to change and I became really interested in the culture aspects of the company, and I joined the board of directors to advise on company culture and innovation within the business. Following a recent restructure, and the arrival of my little daughter, I have since changed roles to Operations Director, and I am so excited to get stuck in with overall company processes, day to day running, continued innovation and improvement as well as developing our strategy for growth.

Every day and every project at Concorde is different, and so are the people – all amazing in their own way, be it personality, talent, and general daftness, and I absolutely love working here!!! HARRY SIMPSON (Build Team as Quantity Surveyor)

I first came to Concorde as a placement student while I was studying for my degree in Quantity Surveying. My placement year here gave me so much experience and knowledge and I learned things I wouldn’t have picked up at uni. When Concorde offered me a position after finishing my degree I jumped at the chance to return as I knew this would be a great place to start my career with lots of opportunities to develop and progress.

Working for Concorde sees you work on a diverse range of projects as part of a dedicated team that’s made up of experienced individuals at the top of their game. Challenging projects inspire Concorde to think outside the box with innovative designs and processes that are exciting to be a part of. As part of the build team I get to play a part in the transformation of 2D designs into completed projects all of which are rewarding both visually and educationally. No project is alike and each offer a chance to learn and develop in your role.

MIKE MILNER (FM Team as Engineer)

I joined Concorde back in 2018 to work as part of the Facilities Management team as a Multi-Skilled Operative. I work on a range of jobs, large and small, dealing with anything and everything that our clients might need to keep their businesses running smoothly and their properties in excellent condition.

There is a huge amount of variety in the work - I might be dealing with a broken window in the morning and then getting someones electrics back on in the afternoon. I get a lot of satisfaction from solving problems and providing our customers with first rate service with a smile.

Concorde provide me with the tools and training I need to do a great job and I know I can call on the team if I need anything. It’s a brilliant place to work if you like to be busy and there is always something interesting going on! STUART JACKSON (Contracting Team as Head of Contracts)

I have been with Concorde since the early days and have done a variety of roles over the years including driver, labourer, apprentice joiner, site manager and many more! I feel really lucky to have joined a company that have supported me to achieve qualifications such as SMSTS and to work my way up through the business.

I now run the contracts teams and manage the delivery of our projects, overseeing and working with our Site Managers and site teams to ensure that projects are completed on time and to our high standards. Concorde has given me so many opportunities over the years and have always provided me with the support, training and encouragement I have needed to progress and keep building my skills and knowledge.

No two days are the same and I work with some great people and for me that’s what it’s all about.

CERYS SMITH (Started as Administration Assistant Apprentice)

I came to Concorde as a Business Administration Apprentice and my first role was working on Reception answering calls and greeting visitors. I instantly loved the busy, team vibe in the office and everyone was so helpful and friendly that it was easy to settle in and learn the ropes.

During my apprenticeship I had the chance to work with many different departments such as Health & Safety, Accounts and Project Coordination which was a brilliant way of learning more about the business and developing my admin skills.

My apprenticeship was over in no time and I didn’t want to leave Concorde but luckily there was a full time position that was perfect for me! I am now working as Project Coordinator in the Revivalist team which is a fast paced and varied role which I love. I am still learning and growing all the time and am really grateful for the opportunities the apprenticeship placement has given me. ISSY COTTYN (Design Team as Senior Designer)

I began my career as an Interior Designer through an apprenticeship scheme and I had little experience or knowledge at the time but a desire to learn. I started at Concorde as a Junior Designer and throughout the years have managed to develop my skills and knowledge, working on a vast amount of exciting and challenging projects. Thanks to the team here at Concorde who have always supported and encouraged me, I have progressed to become a Senior Designer. This has allowed me to express my creativity and passion as I work on my own projects up and down the country.

Joining a new company can be daunting, however the Designers at Concorde are a group of motivated, committed, and fun individuals, working together as a dynamic team.

I get a huge amount of satisfaction once a project is complete. All the hard work is worth it when you finally see the beautiful space you envisioned become a reality, and a place for people to enjoy and appreciate for many years to come.
