Darenth Valley Building Services has announced two internal promotions to the management team, Jack Lovell and Oliver Davies with immediate effect.
In 2015, D Hammond Maintenance and Darenth Valley Building Services merged offering both M&E and Building Fabric services. Upon taking on the role of managing director in September 2022, Gerry Goonan, looked to expand the senior management eam to include the promotion of Oliver Davies and Jack Lovell. Mr Lovell is promoted to SHEQ director with previous roles in the business including gas engineer, contracts manager and operations manager over a four-year period. His new responsibilities include developing and implementing programs and procedures. Together with ensuring high standards of health, safety, environmental, and quality that guarantees the business maintains legal compliance, plus keeping in line with the ISO targets.
Mr Lovell said: “I am both excited and delighted to be given this opportunity and the responsibility to take on this senior role within Darenth Valley Building Services that will enable us as a business to continue to grow and ensure that we are providing the highest level of service to our customers as well as meeting our health, safety and compliance targets.”
Mr Davies is promoted to operations director. Joining D Hammond in 2011 straight from college, he had no previous experience of the industry. At that time, the maintenance team consisted of Mr Davies and the then co-owner with an office in Mayfair. Within four years relationships had been formed to establish themselves within the sector and he was promoted to managerial level as the operations team grew. Now operation director, Oliver says “This is an amazing opportunity for me and I’m whilst I’m incredibly proud our achievements so far, I’m under no illusion the hardest work is yet to come. I am excited to be part or the growth of the business.”
