Van Elle is one of the UK's leading geotechnical, piling and foundation engineering companies. Founded in 1984 we have experienced tremendous growth rates and industry success, much of which can be attributed to our staff.

In March/April '07 we have increased our staff levels by 6%, employing 22 new employees across the business. We now employ a total of 366 people across all our divisions. The growth in staff goes hand in hand with our commercial success which is building year on year.

"Getting the right people in to do the right job is a must, our success depends on it. The strength of our brand and positive perceptions within the industry means we're getting the best employees at a time where we are seeing potential skills shortages in construction."
Vic Handley, Group Deputy MD

The new employees cover a variety of roles within the company including graduate engineers, construction workers, estimating engineers and managers. We invest heavily in staff training and feel proud to have such a high number of direct employees in an industry where sub-contracting is often the norm.

In fact one of our recent additions has done such a great job that he has picked up a top industry award. Mark Williams, Group Business Development Manager, was a finalist in the construction industry's 'Future Leaders' awards.

We're looking forward to working towards Investors in People and continuing to employ the industry's best!
