Estimator / Business Development Manager
Hillhouse Quarry Group Ltd
Hillhouse Quarry, Troon, Ayrshire Ka10 7Hx
I am the Estimator and Business Development Manager within the Contracts Division of the Hillhouse Quarry Group. I am responsible for the pricing of all tender enquiries received from our existing client base and developing further business opportunities with both new and potential clients. I have successfully secured works from a number of civil engineering contractors and local authorities who we had not previously contracted with. I have established and maintain a database of documents and responses for inclusion in and support of PQQ submissions. Prior to this there had been no formalised approach to responding to PQQ’s and as a result the completed questionnaires now regularly score top marks. The improved PQQ scores and performance has resulted in Hillhouse being awarded a number of Framework Contracts which we had previously been unsuccessful in gaining access to. These include the Ayrshire 2G Minor Works Framework, the Strathclyde Partnership for Transport Tarmac Repairs and Replacement Framework and the City Building (Glasgow) Minor Works Framework. I have also secured Approved Contractor Status with AMEC, Balfour Beatty, Chemring Group, Land Engineering, the NHS Golden Jubilee Trust, Inverclyde Council, North Lanarkshire Council and West Lothian Council. I have also registered Hillhouse Contracts on the Builder’s Profile database as well as gaining SSIP Accreditation for Hillhouse Contracts.In addition to the above I instigated and managed a complete overhaul of the Hillhouse Group website and now oversee its’ maintenance. I also identified a need to improve the quality of our marketing materials and managed the design and production of new business cards, brochures and banners in line with new company branding.
