Robust relationships
Given McPhillips ’ family-owned heritage , the people side of the organisation has always been high on the company ’ s agenda . This is something that Paul and his team have been meticulous about maintaining , since taking over the reins in 2017 .
“ It ’ s a bit of a cliché ,” he continues , “ but McPhillips has always carried strong principles with regards to its employees . It ’ s something that ’ s clearly demonstrated through the tenure of our workforce . We ’ ve got plenty of team members who have been here longer
than I have , even some who ’ ve surpassed the 40-year mark . The founders ’ family touch remains to this day , and it ’ s something that we uphold with the greatest importance .
“ If people want to progress , we always try to facilitate growth and training within their positions , and we take on between six and ten apprentices every year through our programme . We ’ re hugely passionate about being able to offer younger starters the opportunity to enter the ground working environment and to flourish professionally under our direction . We have multiple contract managers and site managers who originally started out on the scheme , who have developed through learning and feeling appreciated by McPhillips . I ’ m incredibly proud that we ’ ve managed to maintain this key part of our ethos , despite now sitting closer to £ 70 million turnover per annum .”
Regardless of the success that the organisation maintains internally , like many other enterprises across the UK , McPhillips has been bombarded with external issues caused by the current inflationary climate across the globe .
