JP Dunn Construction Ltd

JP Dunn Construction is pleased to announce a partial management buy-out. Company founder, Jonathan Dunn will continue as MD and retains a significant shareholding. The management structure of the business remains substantially unaltered. Long-term senior management – Yllka Uruci, James Galloway, and Nick Jacks – become shareholders and are confirmed as members of the Main Board.   JP Dunn was incorporated in 1999. Since then, Jonathan has guided JP Dunn Construction Ltd to considerable heights. He expressed his confidence in the new arrangement saying, ‘’After an incredible journey spanning almost twenty-six years, I am proud to welcome Nick, Yllka and James to part-ownership of the JP Dunn Construction Ltd. Their long-term commitment can only strengthen the company going forward. Over the years we have built a strong and innovative business, driven by a team of loyal and dedicated professionals who have been with me for many years. I have great confidence in Nick, Yllka and James. Their unwavering commitment and deep understanding of the business and its core values ensure that JP Dunn Construction Ltd will continue to thrive and uphold the standards of excellence that we have established. Having come through the challenges of Brexit, Covid, and war in Europe, the company is now looking to build on its strong foundations, and I am excited to be playing a significant role in this exciting new phase.’’ Nick Jacks, the Pre-Contract Director, added, ‘’I have worked with JP Dunn Construction Ltd for over twenty years. Various Clients have come and gone in that time – Sunley, Alfred McAlpine, Mowlem, GB Solutions, Osborne to name a few – but we are grateful to all the individuals we have worked with. These client and supplier connections have been fundamental to our success, so we see Jonathan’s continuing commitment as an essential ingredient going forward.’’

Thanks for the recognition Charlie. This is a project we are highly proud of. Thanks to everyone involved 👍

Fantastic achievement at CONSTRUCT Day 2024 🏆 👏 Firstly, huge congratulations to Harry Kipping-Bier who received the Young Achiever Award. The Young Achiever was awarded in recognition for his talent and dedication to his apprenticeship, along with his fantastic work ethic and desire to progress in his career. Harry began his Plant Mechanic apprenticeship at J P Dunn Construction in 2023. His commitment and skill earned positive feedback from both his workplace and college. Harry’s dedication to learning and self-improvement, along with his success in additional courses, has set a high standard for future apprentices. Harry is a valued team member, consistently demonstrating initiative, dedication, and a keen eagerness to learn. JP Dunn also received a highly commended Environment & Sustainability award for the TecDura inflatable stopend. The TecDura inflatable stopend streamlines the concreting process, offering quick installation and removal by inflating to 8 PSI. It allows immediate continuation of work after applying a retarder. This reusable stopend reduces waste and environmental impact, compared to single-use timber alternatives. For further details contact James@tecdura.com Finally, a massive well done to the team at Project Dexter in Harwell Science Park where we were shortlisted as a finalist for Project of the Year, under £5 million.

Concrete hardstandings, drainage, plant wash down areas, formwork refurbishment tents have been set up to ensure our equipment is sent out to site in tip-top condition. Aaron also presented Harry Kipping-Bier a toolbox, complete with tools, in recognition for amazing progression with his apprenticeship. Harry started work with JP Dunn in 2023 with his Plant Mechanic Apprenticeship Level 2 Land Based Service Engineer. Well done Harry!

Support Rremzi Aliu Last December Rremzi Aliu suffered a spinal stroke. He was subsequently in hospital for three and a half months, then restricted to a wheelchair. Hopefully, with the help of physiotherapy and medication he will gradually return to mobility. This will be a long process. Rremzi and his son had been working for J P Dunn Construction as Pavers on our job at St Peters College. The quality of his work was impressive and drew much praise from both the Client and Willmott Dixon. Clearly these life changing circumstances have left him in a difficult situation and any contributions via this page will be gratefully received.

Surplus to Supper J P Dunn Construction Ltd has continued in its support of the charity Surplus to Supper with the provision of a new tarmac hardstanding adjacent to the Surplus Market and the refrigeration building at their Sunbury HQ.   Surplus to Supper is active in sourcing and redistributing surplus food that would otherwise have to go to landfill. This is on a substantial scale with the charity collecting and donating on average 3 Tonnes of food per day and redistributing to foodbanks, schools, care homes, shelters, clubs, refuges, religious organisations and more.   The Surplus Market is an important component as it helps generate the funds for the redistribution effort. The Market provides good quality food which would otherwise go to waste and is for everyone in the local community who needs fresh produce. All Market donations/ proceeds help Surplus to Supper in supporting local food banks, charities, school lunch projects and community groups across the local area.   More details for Surplus to Supper can be found at www.surplustosupper.org
