John Love had a very successful excavation company when he met Peter Williams
the previous owner of Parkstone Group.
Peter gave John the opportunity of joining Parkstone and bringing with him his
entire plant and workforce.
This gave John the opportunity to work on major projects for blue chip clients such
as Land Rover, Wilmot Dixon and Tilbury Douglas to name just a few.
The prestigious redevelopment of the Bull Ring gave John the opportunity to
manage the two anchor store substructure packages of Selfridges and Debenhams.
With the gaining of these contracts the Parkstone Group's need for a Contracts Director became crucial. During this time John was responsible for a redevelopment project of Broadmead in Bristol for Sir Robert McAlpines albeit a predominantly an earthworks project yet still was completed in accordance with the clients programme and valued in excess of £7m.
In February 2007, John Love and his associate Finance Director Margaret Cattell, successfully completed a management buyout.
Looking forward Parkstone Group’s goal is to demonstrate that the company is well positioned to partner some major schemes. Using its past experience, versatility and the new management structure Parkstone is able to engage in most projects with mutually beneficial results.
‘Our approach moving forward will not be contractual moreover entitlement’
John is married and lives in South Birmingham with his wife and four children.
Working for major blue chip construction companies she has had a variety of senior financial positions spanning the last 21 years.
