At Black & White, we recognise the strength of long-term commitment and the value it brings to our organisation. We are proud to celebrate the remarkable journey of two of our Associate Directors, Jon Mitchell and Errol Ruddock, as they join our growing 15-year Black & White Milestone Club. Their expertise, hard work, and commitment have significantly contributed to our success, solidifying their positions as valuable members of, and an inspiration to, our one global team.
Jon shared how his experience has been in the last 15 years:
“There are many reasons I have been a part of Black & White for the last 15 years. I have had the privilege of leading many great teams on a wide range of projects. I have worked on construction sites in just about every sector and been able to travel the world doing the job I love. My role allows me to influence designs and develop them on site. I get the satisfaction of seeing a building come to life after months of design and construction and handing it over to the end user.
So many great memories from the daily drive to Yas Island to the harsh winters and perfect summers in Azerbaijan. Inspecting the helipad on the Burj Al Arab and surveying a private island in the Seychelles were experiences I will never forget.
The company is growing rapidly, and I am proud to have been there from its foundations, working with so many brilliant people I consider my extended family. I know there are many more opportunities, challenges, and adventures to come.”
In the coming months, two more team members will be celebrating their 15-year journeys with us: Emmanuel Garcia, Senior Site Inspector, and Rex Erro, IT Manager, joined us during our early years and have since made Black & White their extended family.
In 2024, we will welcome more people to the Black & White Milestone Club. A total of 26 dedicated team members across our global offices will be celebrating their 10-year anniversaries, marking a decade of collective experience and knowledge. These celebrations enrich our global team, shape our company’s culture, and reflect our commitment to be an industry-leading employer of choice. These are a testament to the strong bonds that have been forged within Black & White and the enduring relationships we have with our valued clients.
It is the dedication of individuals like Jon, Errol, Emmanuel, Rex, and the 26 team members reaching their 10-year milestones, that has played a key role in the growth and success of our global team. Their innovation and passion have fostered a sense of community that we deeply value and is what makes Black & White a thriving and dynamic firm.
Together, we continue to provide top-tier services to our clients worldwide, and we look forward to a future filled with even greater achievements, shared experiences, and continued growth.
