With over three decades of construction experience and expertise , DSD has become a trusted name for delivering quality and value . It currently self-delivers works as a principal contractor for governmental and local authorities , as well as supporting many Tier 1 ( T1 ) contractors across the UK .

Martin Tweddle , DSD ’ s Operations Director , joins us to discuss the company ’ s mission to complete safe , sustainable , and high-quality projects that uphold its strong reputation within the industry . “ It seems like a long time ago , almost 20 years now , since I started my career as a civil engineer ,” he begins . “ After my training , I worked for a local contractor for seven years , which is where I met Shaun , the Managing Director of DSD .

“ I went on to do some subcontractor work for Shaun and the two of us hit it off straight away . An opportunity to join DSD came up shortly after , and I jumped at the chance to join a company with great morals and family values . That was 13 years ago , in which time I ’ ve been fortunate enough to progress through the business , becoming Operations Director around three years ago .

“ The business was founded by Dennis Nugent and his two sons , Shaun and Darren , with their first initials forming the brand name ,” Martin narrates . “ Dennis is unfortunately no longer with us , but both Shaun and Darren are still involved with the business . Although it has been such a journey to reach our 30th year in business this year , it has also been extremely rewarding .
