“I had been looking for some time to find a partner to take the values of the group forward in the building and construction sector, and that man is Stuart Ward.

“It takes a while to find the right people, but Stuart is very aligned with our vision and what we are about.

“I’m delighted to appoint J & S Building Developments as a contractor to JJP Holdings, to support the expansion and growth of the group.

“Like me, Stuart shares a love for this region and a desire to invest in the local economy by employing local builders and contractors, local suppliers wherever possible and getting local people trained up in our ways, ensuring a consistent, high-quality, approach.

“Whether it’s a private extension to a house or tendering for commercial projects with local councils, we’re determined and driven to ensure J &S Building Developments can make a positive contribution to, and be a major player in, the West of England, and beyond.”

Managing Director

Using some three-decades of extensive experience as the foundations on which to grow the business. Born in North Yorkshire, his skills were all learned and developed through practical, on-the-job, training.

“My dad told me to learn as many trades as possible and that’s what I’ve tried to do. I’m fortunate to have been able to pick up some skills and tricks of the trade from some extremely experienced professionals who were true masters of their crafts.”

Stuart’s passion for his work has taken him all over the world, to the likes of Kuwait, Italy, Switzerland, Austria and Kuala Lumpur, as well as working on many projects in the UK.

While he favours timber framing, joinery and kitchens, he took his father’s advice and can turn his hands to pretty much every element of building work.

He said: “I’m very excited about working with JJP Holdings, this kind of opportunity does not come around very often.

“I want J & S Building Developments to be recognised as a highly reputable operator, a leader in the West of England, with the resilience and stability of a big group behind us.”

Stuart has lived in the West of England for 20 years. He has a daughter and two grandchildren, and away from work enjoys cooking, travel, reading and theatre.

“Throughout the whole build process, J&S Building Developments were extremely professional in everything they did. From quotations, flexibility when we wanted changes to our original ideas, building work and finish quality, nothing was too much trouble. We wanted the ‘wow’ factor when guests walked into the house. J&S certainly exceeded our expectations in every aspect, creating a stunning living space that we are proud to call our home.”
