About Meet The Team Our History

SPARTA / OUR PEOPLE

We have 10+ years of experience

The Sparta team have played key roles in delivering subcontract packages on numerous projects including hospitals, schools, MOD buildings, student accommodation, health centres, retail spaces and apartments. These packages include SFS, partitions, dry lining, suspended ceilings, acoustic panels and fire stopping. We have been established since 2011, but still consider ourselves a young and dynamic company. We work hard to provide a reliable and honest service from the point of enquiry through to the delivery of the project. This has served us well and helped us tailor our strategy around repeat business with key supply chain partners.

We Put People Before Profit

We place a strong emphasis on fostering a culture of openness and integrity; accountability is key to our success. We focus on the mental health of our employees, both in terms of monitoring the wellbeing of our team and offering targeted support when needed. We have a proven track record of putting in place interventions and following up on issues, ensuring everyone at Sparta knows they are a valuable member of the team.

Promotion from within is another important part of Sparta Systems, enabling us to maintain the continuity that we value so highly, as well as rewarding our hard-working and talented team members.

We Ensure Clear, Great Communication

We understand the power of good communication and make it a cornerstone of every project. Our team is committed to maintaining clear, consistent, and transparent communication throughout the process, ensuring that everyone is aligned and informed every step of the way. We believe that effective communication leads to smoother collaboration, quicker problem-solving, and better outcomes, making the entire experience more efficient and enjoyable for all parties involved.

We are keen to maintain open channels of communications both within Sparta and with the organisations with whom we work. The team at Sparta are highly responsive to any queries or issues that come our way; problem-solving or, preferably, problem prevention, are a high priority.

Working Together to Bring Your Vision to Life

At Sparta, we have consistently high levels of staff retention, which we see as both a reflection and a reason for our stability as a company. This also makes us easy to deal with, both for main contractors and subcontractors; the same team will oversee your whole project, ensuring quality control.

Our team is experienced, having overseen and worked on hundreds of projects both for Sparta and in previous roles. We have a strong sense of the importance of teamwork, nurtured through proactive communication and a culture of collective responsibility. Crucially, we are proud to be one of the nicest groups of people you could hope to work with. We take pleasure in the feedback we consistently receive backing up the idea that Sparta as a group is supportive, kind, hardworking, collaborative and motivated.

Meet the Team

Our team is the heart of everything we do. Each member brings a unique set of skills, experience, and a shared commitment to delivering exceptional results. From our contractors to our project managers, site managers, and commercial managers – there’s a group of passionate individuals behind every project we deliver

Mathew has worked in the fields of SFS, Partitions and Ceilings since leaving school. When he grows up he would very much like to be Marty McFly!

Mathew Bates

Commercial Director
Simon has worked in all aspects of construction since the age of 16 and relishes the ever-changing demands of the industry. If you have ever seen his driving, you would be right to guess that his favourite film is The Italian Job (1969).

Simon Jones

Project Director
Andy has been getting angry at shoddy tender enquiries since the turn of the millennium. He sees himself as a Troy Bolton type character due to his unerring joie de vivre and musical talent.

Andy Carr

Procurement Manager
Natalie joined Sparta from a commercial background in the retail industry and is enjoying the varied challenges that construction brings – please check back at a later date for a film fact (once she has actually watched a film).

Natalie McDermott

Business Manager
Mike has been looking after construction pennies since 2005 and has worked on many a prestigious project for main contractors, and he turned to the dark side of subcontracting in 2018. He once represented his country at the European Indoor Trampolining Finals and would have taken gold if it weren’t for a rusty spring!

Michael Boyes

Commercial Manager
Shaun has been a Project Manager since the beginning of time, prior to this he served his time as a Joiner. If he were a film character he thinks he would definitely be Katniss Everdeen.

Shaun Bates

QA Manager
Dave has worked at Sparta since 2016 and earned his stripes the old fashioned way as a partition fixer. He tries to keep it quiet but he actually discovered gypsum, and was a key player in the development of what we today call a plasterboard!

Dave Metcalfe

Project Manager
Before selling his soul to join management John served his time as a Dryliner. However you have to delve much deeper to uncover his more niche skills. in addition to being an accomplished marksman, Sparta let John go on sabbatical now and then as he is often called up for Stunt driver duties. You may have seen his name credited in such classics as “The Fast and the Furious”, “Fast Five” and “Furious 7” to name but a few.
