improvements , the business is concentrating on remaining agile and responsive to market demands . “ We ’ ve focused on strengthening our internal systems and improving our performance to ensure we can cope with upcoming demand , particularly as we ’ re continuing to see increased work from our current clients ,” Aaron shares . “ There are some key members of the management team that have been instrumental to our success ; we ’ ve brought a Commercial Director onboard and our Operations Director , James Ellis , is making a huge stamp on the company .
“ From a health and safety perspective , our Health and Safety Director , Richard Gordon , does a great job of ensuring our sites are safe places to work . Most of the time , you find that a safe site is also a well organised and well managed one , leading to both a positive working environment and greater on-site efficiency .”
As our conversation draws to a close , we ask Aaron what the future holds for AD Construction . “ 2025 looks busy for us with lots of upcoming projects ,” he says . “ When it comes to thinking about the future , we focus on the next project and securing a pipeline for the next year or so , as our work further afield will largely depend on what happens in the UK ’ s economy . While I have ambitions to achieve five-to-ten per cent growth yearon-year , which would take us to £ 100 million revenue in the next five years , I ’ m mindful not to grow too quickly as I want AD Construction to maintain our strong reputation for quality and service .
“ There ’ s an interesting challenge facing housing associations in our current landscape ; organisations have tight budgets but huge amounts of work to do in terms of damp and mould , fire safety , and underperforming energy efficiency . We try not to get too carried away as we can ’ t control these external factors , so we focus on ensuring we ’ re in the strongest position possible to cope with demand as and when it comes ,” Aaron concludes .
Despite these challenges , AD
Construction ’ s core values of quality and service remain strong . Combined with Aaron ’ s leadership , an emphasis on company culture , and a commitment to the wider community , the business is sure to continue its successful trajectory in 2025 and beyond . ■
