There has been a long tradition at Rilmac of promoting from within. Of the seven directors across the group five have worked their way up through the companies. Most of the estimators, designers, managers and supervisors employed across the four businesses also began their Rilmac careers at more junior levels.

One of the latest to follow this path is Dean Booth. Dean started at Rilmac Scaffolding in 2004 as a partially qualified scaffolder and has steadily worked his way up ever since. Once Dean’s potential was identified date he was given more responsibility and promoted to supervisor, where he worked on such key projects as the DNRC. Alongside this progression Rilmac also provided training which has allowed Dean to recently achieve a promotion to Contracts Supervisor, soon to be followed by Contracts Manager status.

The training doesn’t stop there however. Along with other hand-picked employees Dean is currently completing an ILM course in Leadership & Management which will help him improve in his current role. The course, provided by Lagat training, includes study away from work and results in an NVQ for all successful candidates.

“I’ve come a long way with Rilmac,” said Dean “and I have seen how others have progressed through the company. This is an exciting opportunity and I am looking forward to the next available training course.”

“With personal experience of how useful training like this can be,” said Sam McSpadden, Director of Rilmac Scaffolding, “it is fantastic to see Dean and the others take this opportunity to achieve more in their careers, and hopefully progress their long term futures with us.”

Everyone at Rilmac wishes Dean the best in completing the course and for his ongoing development.
