Our people
Our people are our specialists, each and every one of them.
We are a people focused company, which is motivated by our values. We don’t have a sales team who promises you the world, at TMT we grow with you, developing meaningful, long-term partnerships.
Our people are our specialists, they make us who we are, and we are passionate about attracting, retaining and developing the right individuals to ensure every one of our projects is as exceptional as the last.
Our history
Set up in 2012, by MD and founder Tom Traynor, TMT is now one of the North West’s leading Commercial Contracting specialists.
Our people are our greatest asset and our experienced team of specialists have been with the business for a number of years, bringing with them the skills and specialist knowledge needed to make a difference. Since we were founded, we have seen our turnover grow year-on-year and this is primarily down to the hard work of our team.
Our team are dedicated to providing excellent customer service time after time. By creating an inspiring working environment, we are able to attract and retain the best people from across the sector, allowing us to build long-term partnerships with clients, rather than just being a ‘contractor’.
Our team look beyond the usual boundaries, striving to make a difference on each and every project we lead on.
Our values define who we are, they drive us to succeed, they are what sets us apart from our competition. We have a long-term partnership approach with all our clients, forming working relationships which last year after year.
Our people focussed approach means we believe in investing in our people’s development, going above and beyond the ‘standard’ levels of learning – setting the bar high.
We are a business who cares, and we know how important it is to give back to those communities in which we work. We actively contribute to our local communities, whether that’s raising money for local charities or volunteering our time to help a community project, we’re always keen to get involved and raise vital funds for charities and causes close to our hearts.
We thrive on pulling together as a business and helping others, it’s what makes us who we are.
