Angelo Serra
Director
Angelo Serra has been working in the construction industry since he was seventeen and once he completed his apprenticeship in heating and plumbing, he worked for a small family run company whilst his skills set grew, preparing him for the future.
His resilience and determination made him stand out amongst his peers and therefore when he set up his business in 2012 with Simon Speller, it was his attitude and outlook to work which still helps his business grow to this day – the many loyal customers which have been with S&S since their opening years are testament to this. The business began small, but their many years of experience in the industry has helped S&S grow steadily throughout its eight years in operation.
Angelo prides himself and his business upon having satisfied customers and hearing positive feedback, with their ethos being entirely customer orientated, aiming to take headaches away from the customers and to solve any issues calmly and effectively. He also cares greatly for his employees and believes that rewarding staff is extremely important, as a good team of staff are the core of any business – their excellent staff retention rate is evidence of this.
Simon Speller
Director
Following finishing accountancy and management qualifications a position arose in the construction industry. After a year of accounts management I took over the day to day running of the company, with my level of customer service, ethos of hard work and a background in finance the company doubled its size within two years.
In 2009 I moved onto another project and produced similar results for another company before making the decision to try and build my own brand.
With the hands on approach and personal touches I have kept in contact with a lot of clients in large sectors who have stayed with Serra and Speller throughout our journey.
Tony Cirillo
Operations Director
Tony Cirillo joined the business in early 2023, to support the growth and aspirations of the business. Although not from a construction background, his many years of experience in senior leadership roles in large corporate organisations support delivering the company’s values of first class customer service, always being competitive and efficient. Tony has 30 years of leadership extensive experience successfully delivering for company’s such as Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury’s, leading at all levels and scale, improving performance and change in all aspects through focus and engagement.
Tony’s unrelenting focus on delivering what is important for customers and his employees, whilst ensuring the business is sustainable and profitable, are the basis of his leadership value set, and will enhance the strength of the business.
