About Ponder Construction

Nigel the Managing Director at Ponder Construction. He first started in construction at the age of 16 as a carpenter and bench joiner. After a 4-year apprenticeship Nigel became a self-employed carpenter, this included working in London on shop fitting, pub fitting and office refurbishments. In 2001 Nigel started his first business for bespoke joinery and building luxury houses which continued for four years. Nigel expanded and created Ponder Construction which has thrived and succeeded until this day and we can’t wait to see it blossom further. Nigel likes to spend his spare time mainly on the ski slopes or on his mountain bike and is known around the office for disliking microwave meals!

Richard has since been a project manager for Maris, Paragon and the OD Group. He joined Ponder Construction as the senior project manager in 2009 and brings with him 36 years of experience. He manages all the sites, making sure everyone is where they need to be and have everything, they need on site to complete the task at hand.
