People Focus: Darrel Burgess, MCM Sales Director MCM

In a new feature where we focus on the people of MCM, we want to shine the spotlight on Darrel Burgess, MCM’s recently-promoted Sales Director.

Darrel heads up the Sales and Technical team at MCM, working alongside four other commercial colleagues who manage the supply chain, logistics, customer support and technical specification involved with delivering soils and aggregates to the nation’s construction projects.

Instrumental

Darrel has been with MCM for almost 9 years and has been instrumental in the company’s developments in recent years, forging new and managing existing partnerships and strategic alliances and ensuring the focus is maintained on the consistently high quality delivery of landscaping materials and waste management services for which MCM is renowned.

Far-reaching

Previously employed directly in construction and in a technical sales role with a little bar work thrown in, Darrel started as a Sales Executive in 2011 before becoming Sales Manager in 2015 and, in 2019, Sales Director. His role now is a far-reaching one: managing the account team and the purchase and sales operations, as well as acting as a company ambassador at trade and corporate events.

The best back-up

And what makes Darrel tick? In his own words:

“There’s nothing better than taking a client’s first enquiry through to the finished solution, being on site, seeing it happen. We’re very much a face-to-face, hands-on team and that’s the best way to be in this industry. And it helps to have a good set of guys around me, really the best back-up there is.”

Mike Lally, Logistics at MCM

Continuing our focus on the people of MCM, this time we are looking at Logistics. And for MCM, that means Mike Lally, our recently appointed Sales and Logistics Administrator.

Mike works alongside the sales and administrative team at MCM, playing a central part in the successes achieved across the supply chain. Managing the pivotal function of logistics, Mike is the bridge between customer and haulier, ensuring the smoothest completion of deliveries of soils and aggregates to the nation’s construction projects.

Smooth operations

Mike joined the MCM team in Spring 2021.  With a solid grounding gained at Rockwool in the world of Field Sales, Mike brings his sound commercial knowledge to his new role at MCM.  Ensuring every order runs smoothly, he handles the booking on of orders and sees them through to delivery, liaison from client to accounts team and everyone in between.

Logistics at MCM

Managing multiple haulier relationships and hundreds of scheduled deliveries of soils, aggregates and waste services every week is no mean feat.  It is imperative to keep the supply chain fluid, efficient and informed – and that’s where Mike steps up, managing the scheduling system and following up where necessary alongside the Sales team, headed by Darrel Burgess.

A little more about Mike

A long-standing (suffering?!) supporter of Charlton Athletic, Mike is also into boxing – up till recently only as a spectator.  But from October 2021, Mike will be training for a Charity White Collar Boxing Event, raising funds for Cancer Research.  The charity bout will take place in December 2021 and we will be following his training journey closely.

And what makes Mike tick on a typical MCM day?

“There’s certainly never a dull moment in the supply of soils and aggregates  – it is a pretty full-on commitment from 8am onwards.  Blink and it’s lunchtime!  I enjoy being able to assist the MCM team using our efficient booking and tracking systems. This means I can give an informed, professional response to both haulier and customer at any stage of the delivery process.  It’s immensely rewarding.”
