We Are One Team
Harvinder Singh Senior Estimator
“
I joined Shaylor Group as an estimator in 2010 and thoroughly enjoy working in such a supportive environment. Every member of the team helps each other out and our Operations Director is very hands on and always available to talk through ideas. To do my job well I rely on having trustworthy and established relationships, both internally and with our subcontractors. I work hard to build new supply chain relationships and maintain existing ones in order to receive the most realistic and competitive quotes for my tenders. The economic climate has definitely affected how I carry out my work. It’s become harder to win work as many businesses have been slashing profit margins and buying turnover so I have remained focused on delivering value led tenders and helping our clients stretch their budgets that little bit further”.

“
Over the course of my career I’ve always remained focused on delivering the best value possible on each product I source, which ultimately will contribute to Shaylor Group’s success. I’m good at my job because I love working with people - I have to get to know who I’m dealing with, whether they’re suppliers or site managers, and build relationships with them. I enjoy negotiating over costs but am also fascinated by new products and seeing how building materials are evolving. I know I’m respected by my colleagues, particularly on site, as I always question the orders that come through in terms of quantities and offering more cost effective alternative products. I consider myself lucky as I learn something new every day – new materials and products come out daily and I also learn from my colleagues and our suppliers.”
SiteLink SiteLink is an annual staff forum, where all staff come together and have a bit of fun along the way. Here at Shaylor Group, our staff are a part of the DNA that helps to make us successful and it is through these events that our company values have evolved.

“
My time with Shaylor Group has literally been a non-stop learning opportunity and I am fortunate enough to still learn new things on a daily basis. I am attracted by the constantly evolving nature of technology, it seems like new products are hitting the market at increasing speed and part of my role is to keep up with new products and try to find devices that best fit the needs of our employees. I work closely with my team to make sure we have the best products in place and the required skills to keep them operational. I regularly visit our project sites nationwide to make sure everything is running smoothly.�
Lee Cash Quantity Surveyor Lee has spent his entire working life with Shaylor Group, having joined the company in 2002 straight from school. One of our biggest success stories, Lee was initially employed as an apprentice carpenter and worked his way up through the trades while simultaneously studying for his HNC and then BTEC qualifications on day release programmes. After being encouraged to enrol for a BSc (Hons) in Quantity Surveying with Birmingham City University, Lee’s hard work paid off when he was awarded a First Class Honours degree in 2013.
“
I thought I had completed my education when I left school and joined Shaylor Group but I couldn’t have been more wrong! I can’t imagine completing the qualifications I’ve achieved without the practical knowledge that I’ve gained from working at the same time. I know I’ve been incredibly fortunate to work for a company that has supported my education the way Shaylor Group has. I was first given the opportunity for a trade, then an education and now a career.”
