Key appointment to help drive growth

11 July 2025

D-Drill welcomes Paul Tomlin as its new operations manager to the team.

Paul’s previous experience in a 25-year career includes roles within the transport and engineering sectors in the South West and across the Midlands.

He has overseen construction and development projects within those roles so is well-versed in working with contractors of all sizes.

Paul’s skillset is supporting D-Drill & Sawing to spot new growth opportunities and to help organise the company’s team to make the most of those.

This has already included freeing up two senior figures within the business from day-to-day work to focus on winning new work, both within the company’s traditional services and its expanding list of specialisms.

Paul said: “I am really pleased to be here at D-Drill & Sawing at what is an exciting time for the company.

“We are a well-respected name in the industry, with branches covering the whole of the country and a range of specialist skills, which are going to become more and more in demand as the Government plans to build, build, build.

“Part of my role is to help gear the company to make the most of the opportunities by the way we are organised with local skilled labour, local apprentices with the nationwide branches and with the processes we have in place to both win and deliver the work.”

Julie White, the managing director of D-Drill & Sawing, added: “We are delighted to welcome Paul to the team.

“He joins a really strong management team that we have developed over the past couple of years to provide us with the best platform from which to grow.

“Paul’s developed skills and experience across a quarter of a century that will make him a great asset to the business. He has also worked in businesses that operate right across the country and that was a really important factor as it reflects our nationwide branch network.”
