Staff Interview Name Bob Boal Job title Director Amey/MOD Department/Division Operations - Amey Date of joining CLC February 2014 Based Catterick
Bob Boal, Divisional Director, has headed up CLC’s Division 32 - working with Amey and the MOD - for 12 years, since he joined CLC. With 40 years in the building industry, primarily in response, voids, and refurbishment across MOD estates, Bob says: “I joined CLC’s Leeds Division as a break from the MOD. But somehow the MOD seems to have a magnet - it keeps dragging me back.” He works primarily from the Catterick branch – but he and his team cover the width and breadth of the UK. We asked him to tell us more about this recently-renewed prestigious Defence contract with Amey: Can you start us off with some basics Bob, for those of us not fully in the picture yet? Who is Amey, and what is CLC’s relationship with them? Amey is the main contractor, the principal contractor, to the defence infrastructure, whether you are building you’re building
an aircraft carrier, a nuclear submarine or you’re working on MOD properties. Amey is also a Tier 1 supplier to the government. So, our relationship with Amey on the MOD works is: they are the principal contractor and
we are part one of their Tier 1 supply chain. We are at the very top of the tree, almost bordering on a partnering arrangement. And what do we do for them? We work on 12,500 married quarters in over 20 English counties and
