Matt Brandreth
My journey in construction began with an apprenticeship at Carillion Construction, where I earned NVQs in carpentry and joinery. Following my apprenticeship, I embarked on a self-employed venture, tackling various aspects of first and second fix joinery on new build sites.
Seeking broader experience, I joined Regard Partnership as a maintenance operative. This role involved reactive and planned maintenance across residential and supported living properties, encompassing joinery, painting and decorating, plastering, basic plumbing, and electrics. While at Regard, I further honed my skills by attaining an NVQ in Building Maintenance, Multi-Trade Repair & Refurb.
In 2017, I returned to self-employment, continuing my work on new builds. That same year, my brother-in-law, employed at Owens Builders, connected me with an opportunity as a subcontractor on a project in Hale. Drawn to the family atmosphere and team spirit, I joined Owens Builders permanently in January 2018.
A year ago, I pursued and successfully obtained the supervisor position at Owens. This role allows me to leverage my experience and lead our team to deliver exceptional results.
Beyond the Workplace:
Outside of work, I cherish spending quality time with my two young children, enjoying walks, and creating lasting memories together.
