MARKET-LEADING provider of workforce management and access control solutions, MSite has appointed two new strategic partnership directors to lead the company’s mission to work collaboratively with the industry and make construction safer and more productive.  With more than 55 years’ combined experience in technology and systems development for some of the largest UK built environment organisations, Martin Ward and Dominic Howkins share MSite’s drive to better the industry by breaking down silos and reducing the performance gap for the millions of workers who set foot onto construction sites every day. The pair join an established business already supporting some of the largest and most forward-thinking construction businesses in the UK, with a shared goal of cultivating value from workforce intelligence throughout the construction community.  Dominic said: “The construction industry has many well documented issues, primarily the slow pace of change, modern slavery, mass duplication of data and lack of collaboration. Prior to joining MSite we respected its leading approach to access and attendance but didn’t appreciate how aligned our visions and ambitions were on supporting the entire construction community.   “Joining felt like a natural step. We’ll be bringing together our existing network, MSite’s extensive relationships and its talented team to make a simpler, more efficient, and safer industry for all.”  Martin said: “Dom and I have worked together for over a decade, either as co-founders of new enterprises or in well-known construction industry businesses. Given the challenges we face as an industry, the need to connect systems and processes has never been greater. The opportunity to digitalise the construction workforce provides huge benefits across projects big and small, enabling improvements in safety, productivity and ESG.  “MSite has an enviable customer base and huge reach. More than one third of the UK’s construction workforce and supply chain have interacted with MSite solutions in the past 12 months. I have already seen first-hand how closely MSite works with its customers, with real focus on raising the bar when it comes to innovation and service. The focus for 2024 is on software solutions and data insights that will drive real value across all stakeholder groups, and continued delivery of customer excellence. After spending many years in construction technology, this broader community focus is very refreshing.”  Part of the Infobric Group, MSite has operated in the construction industry for more than 20 years with values based on embracing challenge, achieving together and doing the right thing. With an end-to-end workforce management solution ranging from pre-site registration and inductions through to access control, site briefings and workforce management, MSite is trusted by leading names such as Balfour Beatty, Morgan Sindall, Sisk and BAM across all construction levels and sectors including commercial, housebuilding, infrastructure, refit and utilities.  Robert Brent, CEO at MSite, added: “Martin and Dom have a proven track record of delivering change in the industry and I’m very pleased that they have joined us here at MSite to support our ambitions as a business. Their careers speak for themselves.  “In a difficult market we have seen significant growth over the past 12 months working with more than 80 new customers of all shapes and sizes. We have taken huge steps to get closer to our customers and provide incredible service, which has been pivotal to underpin this growth. It’s exciting to consider our potential, especially working more closely with the wider industry through Martin and Dominic.”  For more information about MSite, visit www.msite.com   Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals
