Paul Ellenor has joined Caddick Civil Engineering from Tilbury Douglas ɫèֱ, where he worked for nearly 39 years until and a rather sudden and unexpected parting of the ways last October.  He had been Yorkshire regional director of Tilbury Douglas since 2018, a role that expanded to include the northeast region in 2022.

He has now landed a new position as managing director of Caddick Civil Engineering, where he is expected to lead all areas of the business, prioritising both work-winning and operational delivery, including commercial performance, and health and safety.

Ellenor replaces Simon Martin, who left Caddick after less than two years with the company to join Strabag UK in November as business development director.

Paul Dodsworth, group managing director of Caddick ɫèֱ Group, said: “We are delighted to welcome Paul as our new MD for Caddick Civil Engineering, an important step in our ambitions to replicate and grow the successful civils model we have established in Yorkshire across the northeast. We have always been focused on expanding our business sustainably, maintaining a strong and consistent turnover, and building on our solid foothold.

“In time, we also see opportunities to expand civils into other regions where Caddick ɫèֱ has a strong presence, including the northwest and the Midlands. Paul is extremely well placed to drive this forward while maintaining the high standards we set for ourselves and our clients.”

Paul Ellenor said: “Joining a business of Caddick ɫèֱ’s scale and reputation is a fantastic opportunity, and the fact it remains a family-run business makes it a perfect fit for me. There are strong values already embedded into the civils business, and my priority is to protect and build on those by securing the right work, delivering it right first time, and doing so safely and to the highest standards.

“I’m also passionate about developing people, and bringing new talent into the business, creating a strong throughput of future leaders, and paying forward the opportunities I’ve been given so the next generation can continue to drive the business forward.”

Living in North Yorkshire, Ellenor will divide his time between Caddick’s head office in Wakefield and the office in Durham that it opened last year as part of a regional expansion.
