JANUARY 2021 | MEC Thanks Jeff Johnson for 25 Years Service!

MEC Thanks Mr Jeff Johnson for 25 Years! 

​We come into the new year giving thanks to Mr Jeff Johnson whom has worked for over 25 years for Marshall Errock Construction Ltd.

Since inception in 1983, we have maintained a philosophy of recognising ability, loyalty, hard work and skills.

We’ve been fortunate as a company along the way to develop many long-lasting relationships with clients and our workforce, and sought to recognise and show appreciation for efforts of all tiers of staff.

Prior to Covid Marshall Errock Construction Ltd would often take our Site Teams out, The Stone Masons, Bricklayers, Apprentices, Forklift Truck Drivers, The Labourers, The Hod Carriers, Pan Man and all associated staff.

This to develop camaraderie and as a gesture of appreciation for the efforts of all.

Jeff Johnson retired from Marshall Errock Construction Ltd in 2021, and his “tongue in cheek” request for a ROLEX WATCH was granted… and was well deserved.

The Swan Song project which was the last that Jeff delivered to completion was the mixed-use development – Kings Stables Road in Edinburgh.

With a sense of great pride to all the efforts of everyone involved at Marshall Errock Construction Ltd, it has been recognised as one of the finest examples of its type, for stonework, brickwork, design and workmanship by perhaps the highest standards attainable;

A true mix of uses is integrated into a historic city centre. A once undesirable street is activated by a seven-storey apartment block, student housing, a four-star apart-hotel of studios, garden flats and town houses and four commercial units.

Set around public and semi-private courtyards, the development reconnects Grassmarket with the city’s West End.

The architectural language, scale and muted palette blends into the Old Town’s fabric: sandstone, grey cladding and render; pitched slate roofs and dormers. The stepped facade bridges the gap between street scale and a large adjacent office building.

To all at Marshall Errock Construction Ltd we wish our workforce, clients and all our staff a Happy, Peaceful, Safe, Joyous and Prosperous New Year for 2022, and to our Clients both old and new, thank you for the opportunities that you have given us over the years, and may this continue for many many years to come….

And to Mr Jeff Johnson (Forklift Truck Driver extraordinaire), many thanks from all of us at MEC, and enjoy your well-deserved retirement…. And of course, your ROLEX!
