Construction Champion – Less than 100 Employees

Damian Meyers – Clan Contracting

I’m Damian, a Liverpool-based construction professional who takes real pride in delivering high-quality work and supporting the people around me to do the same. I care deeply about the impact we have beyond the build, through local employment, community support, and opportunities for the next generation, always looking for a better way to make that impact count. I’m FCIOB qualified, but it’s that sense of purpose, not the letters, that keeps me pushing every project further.
