adds layer of logistical consideration, particularly when projects involve mainland subcontractors or suppliers. Rather than chasing volume for its own sake, the company has adopted a measured approach to growth. With construction, civil, and plumbing divisions operating under one roof, projects are selected based on how well they align with the business as a whole. “There’s a natural balance,” Speers explains. “The diversity of the business allows us to support ourselves internally, which reduces pressure on labour and resources.” This discipline also extends to workforce planning. Leadership recognises that growth on-site must be matched by adequate project management capacity. As a result, Oliver Kelly Group has found its operational sweet spot at around 90 employees, a scale that allows for responsiveness without diluting oversight or culture. PEOPLE AS THE FOUNDATION Culture is central to everything Oliver Kelly Group does. The company’s guiding philosophy—People, Our Foundation—is more than a slogan; it shapes hiring decisions, leadership accessibility, and dayto-day operations. The business places strong emphasis on apprenticeships, internal development, and maintaining a workplace where employees have direct access to senior leadership.
