About Tees Valley Consultants
How it started
Tees Valley Consultants was created by Andrew Jackson who is a qualified Project Manager and Chartered Quantity Surveyor. Andrew has over 25 years of experience delivering projects and maintenance contracts both locally and internationally. It had been a long held ambition to run his own business, and during the COVID pandemic, he was given an opportunity to do just that.
Leaving the corporate structure of an international EPC contractor where he was the operations manager for UK projects, Andy moved straight into a supporting role for a local client working on a £100m Capex project. Working within the Project Management Organisation (PMO) Andy was able to provide commercial guidance and support in a way that fuelled the ambition of growing this service into a full organisational delivery team.
During this initial appointment, old colleagues and work friends started reaching out for advice or support on their projects and it was clear the opportunity was available to expand and develop the services TVC would provide.
Helping customers is what TVC is all about and it gives our team great satisfaction that at the end of each week they can look back and know that they’ve done their best to make a difference.
We spend a lot of time at work in our lives, and we believe its not only important to do our best each day, but enjoy ourselves along the way.
Where are we right now…
After 2 years of successful commercial assignments, TVC are currently in negotiations or working with several new potential clients in the Tees Valley region. The growth of our company comes at a time when the Tees Valley is seeing an unprecedented growth in new industrial and government backed building projects.
We have held meetings and have engaged with client organisations who have over £1 Billion of Capex expenditure planned between them. It’s a privilege to be having these conversations, and being considered as a consultancy organisation to work alongside these huge global corporations.
The award of the framework agreement by an international EPCM organisation has led to further opportunities to support our client and we are excited about what the future holds on these assignments. We are currently engaged on two £400 Million projects which are both new projects at land clearance/enabling stage. These significant projects give TVC longevity and stability at a crucial stage in our plans.
To facilitate future growth TVC have this year employed our first apprentice quantity surveyor (Adam Wanless) who is thrilled to be starting his career working on some fantastic projects. Having already supported a client on a £600 million local project Adam is already providing great support to the commercial assignments that are ongoing.
Our team consists of employees and trusted PSC partners who have worked together through the years to meet the needs of our
Vision for the future
TVC are currently working on developing a Quality Management System which our commercial teams will link to the RICS black book guidance notes. Further company procedures and policies are also under development for Project Management and Project Controls in particular.
Our aim is to integrate our procedures with industry leading software packages and will provide useful guidance to any of our clients whose own procedures don’t necessarily provide the best level of rigour for any new works they are undertaking.
As well as procedural quality, our benchmarking information is being collated and will create a significant opportunity for TVC to engage with clients early in the estimating stage for their projects to provide guidance and support on outturn costs of projects.
People are the core of our business and following the successful start and engagement of Adam our apprentice, TVC hope that we can continue to engage future apprentices and provide them with the best possible start to their careers on exciting projects and with mentoring and guidance from experienced and willing senior personnel.
