Meet the team

Andy Webb

Managing Director

Andy is our Managing Director. His journey into the industry started out at Leicester University where he delved into the intricacies of Construction Economics and Management. From there, he spent many years working up and down the country as a Quantity Surveyor. After a long stint working for ISG, Andy brought his expertise to DD Porter, where his ability and potential quickly shone through. After moving departments in 2019, he became the pre-construction director in 2022 and managing director in 2026.

Instrumental in helping us deliver viable projects on time and to specification, Andy relishes working closely with our clients and delivering a great end product.

“One of the great things about DD Porter is we’re big enough to deliver large projects but small enough to offer that personal service. Our clients can speak to a director when they need to and we have the size and strength needed to realise their vision exactly as they need.”

When he’s not working, Andy is a fan of all things mechanical, be it cars, motorsports or mountain biking. A true lycra devotee, you’ll find him biking into the office on his road bike come rain or shine.

Peter Priestley

Director

Peter has over 35 years of experience in the industry.

He started his career with a local national contractor as a Technical Trainee gaining experience in all aspects of the business whilst also attending college.

From here, he progressed through the pre-construction and estimating ranks to reach the position of Regional Bid Manager for the UK’s largest private construction company.

Peter joined DD Porter in 2004 as an Estimating Manager to help develop the business further through sustainable targeted growth over the years ahead.

“Here at DD Porter, we aim to offer all our clients a first-class service. This is only possible because of the knowledge, hard work and commitment of all our team.”

“The fact that the majority of our business is repeat business with existing clients is testimony to this.”

Outside of work, Peter is a keen follower of most sports and enjoys walking his dog and spending time in his garden.

Darren Grogan

Surveying Director

Darren is our Surveying Director. With 30 years of experience under his belt, Darren has been a huge part of the DD Porter family since 2003. Starting his career as a quantity surveyor, he came to DD Porter as a QS manager before becoming Director.

A firm hand on the financial tiller of our projects, Darren manages the QS team and ensures all projects are financially viable and have the equipment and materials needed for success.

“The successful operation of DD Porter is down to the strength and depth we have in our team. We’re all committed to doing everything necessary to make our client’s projects a success and that’s reflected by the fact the majority of our work is repeat business.”
