Mitton works closely with clients to find the drivers most applicable to their businesses, engineering solutions designed to achieve their goals. Our People Steven Taylor Managing Director Steve began his career with Yorkshire Bank before moving to Mitton over twenty years ago. He has worked in every corner of the organisation, from fleet management through to Contracting and Aftercare, bringing to the Boardroom an in-depth understanding of every aspect of the organisation’s activities. Neil Burns Group Operations Director Neil joined Mitton as an apprentice plumbing and heating engineer, moving on to manage smaller projects before taking up a role as Contracts Supervisor. He was appointed Contracts Manager, swiftly followed by a period as Works Manager before joined the Board as Works Director in 2000. In his current role, Neil also assumes responsibility for Health & Safety – integral to all Mitton activities – and manages a team of regional managers. He oversees quality and completion for major contracts before handing over to Aftercare for commissioning and service contracts, as well as managing Mitton’s Totalcare ‘handyman’ service. Graham Hawe Director Graham served his apprenticeship as a plumbing and heating engineer before joining Mitton to work alongside his father for some years! He left the company for a short period to focus on major projects and to expand his experience with a design engineering consultancy before rejoining Mitton in 1991 as a project engineer. He moved on to project management and joined the Board of Directors in 2002. Today, Graham’s role at Mitton centres on providing direction and leadership to teams of engineers on the Contracting side of the business, looking after initial designs and making sure that costings and tender sums accurately reflect client requirements. He has recently taken up golf in a big way, but won’t divulge his success, just saying that he currently plays to his handicap!
