Roland O'Connor spotted at the Construction Enquirer Awards

Great to see my old mate Roland O'Connor (third from left in the photo) with his Colmore Tang colleagues as they win "Best Contractor to Work For" at the Construction Enquirer Awards.

All good things must come to an end

There is a saying that all good things come to an end and that is certainly true here at C&D as Dr Roland O'Connor has decided to leave C&D and head off for a new challenge.

Roland, who has worked at C&D for many years, has decided that the time is right to change direction with his career and has accepted the position of Health, Safety & Environmental Officer at Colmore Tang (one of C&D's customers) who have grown their construction business from zero turnover to £60 million in just 12 months. This rapid growth has seen their workload in Birmingham grow to such an extent that a dedicated HS&E professional is required.

Roland starts his new position on Monday, 8th June, but he will be honouring his commitments to C&D for training courses already booked, and will, from time to time be returning to the C&D team to deliver training as and when required.

Roland comments on his time at C&D:

"It has been a great pleasure to work with the dedicated professionals at C&D, especially my oldest friend John Woodward, over the last few years and to see it go from strength to strength. I wish all the very best to the many C&D clients that I have worked with in the past and look forward to seeing you all again from time to time."

It goes without saying that we value his contribution to C&D during his time with us and we wish him all the best in this new exciting position.

Roland's workload will be shared amongst the other members of C&D for the time being, but as work loads continue to grow, we will be adding to our team in the future.
