Lee Cash,
Quantity Surveyor Lee has spent his entire working life with Shaylor Group, having joined the company in 2002 straight from school. One of our biggest success stories, Lee was initially employed as an apprentice carpenter and worked his way up through the trades while simultaneously studying for his HNC and then BTEC qualifications on day release programmes. After being encouraged to enrol for a BSc (Hons) in Quantity Surveying with Birmingham City University, Lee’s hard work paid off when he was awarded a First Class Honours degree in Quantity Surveying in 2013.

Shaylor Group - Our People
I thought I had completed my education when I left school and joined Shaylor Group but I couldn’t have been more wrong! I can’t imagine completing the qualifications I’ve achieved without the practical knowledge that I’ve gained from working at the same time. I’ve been able to not only apply my learning on site, but more importantly I’ve been able to apply my construction experience to my learning. I love what I do; I get an incredible sense of achievement seeing a project grow from the planning stage, to then taking shape on site and ultimately seeing the finished article. It’s a great accomplishment knowing you’ve played a big part in reaching project completion, and most importantly seeing a happy client. I know I’ve been incredibly fortunate to work for a company that has supported my education the way Shaylor Group has. I was first given the opportunity for a trade, then an education, and now a career.”
