Stuart Ward
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.
