Derek joined the company in 1982 as a general trainee and gained experience of working within a number of different departments including Hythe Plant Services and Park Farm Joinery.

Following a period of time on site Derek then worked within the General Works department where he undertook both surveying and estimating duties. During this time he also worked on measured term contracts where he undertook both contracts managing and surveying duties.

As the business evolved and the need for a materials buying department was recognised, Derek became involved with the development of this department from its early stages and soon took on the role of Chief Buyer. He is now responsible for a team of three who undertake both materials and plant purchases. Derek is also responsible for our mobile and office communication systems.

Derek has maintained close links with our joinery department, Park Farm Joinery throughout his career at Jenner. His knowledge of joinery and timber supply meant that he was ideally suited to take on the Managing Director role of the department in 2004.

Sam returns to the Jenner team, in the role of Design Manager, having worked with us in 2007 as a Trainee Site Manager. 

Sam’s design expertise, industry experience and knowledge combined with his calm and focused approach will essentially strengthen and support the pre-construction team to ensure we continue to achieve best-value, quality delivery for all our clients. 

Tony’s experience and knowledge of the construction industry proves that he is at least that, and undoubtedly the best person to lead Park Farm Construction on behalf of Jenner.  

As an experienced professional with unrelenting enthusiasm in all he does, Tony strives to deliver to the very highest standards for all our clients to the same trusted standards of the Jenner brand.  

Commencing his career as a decorator at 16 years of age with an appetite to grow and improve, he subsequently progressed to learn multiple trade skills which have proved invaluable in managing his diverse team of multi-trade operatives within Park Farm Construction. Often hands-on in his approach he is well respected by all that work with him. Fortunate to work alongside experienced colleagues and gain encouragement from employers throughout his career, Tony has experience life as a site agent, contracts manager and director of his own company before moving to Kent in 2019 to join the Jenner team.
