The Team

We have a strong team of both directly employed staff and trusted subcontractors with a wide range of experience and expertise

Martin Hume

Managing Director

Martin founded the business some 20 years ago. Originally a builder, he diversified into tiling for many years and now combines the two within Colne Valley Contracts. Martin is a very hands on MD; you are more likely to find him on site getting stuck in to the job than pushing paper in the office. This on site presence and face to face contact with clients enables him to push jobs forward and deal with any issues directly as they arise, coming up with solutions and ultimately getting the job done.

Ben is primarily responsible for managing our tiling and leisure centre refurbishment projects. A competent qualified tiler himself, like Martin he is usually physically working on site as well as overseeing others.
