Managing Director & Founder

Robert Mew

I have been working in and around the construction industry for over 25 years, starting out as a site engineer and working my way up into site management with a number of national Contractors,

I then decided to have a change, and have worked for National House Builders, Housing Associations, and Local Authorities, but all the time maintaining strong links to my construction background. Outside of work I enjoy playing golf, fishing, and walking our dogs.

Operations Director

Parminder Mew

Having worked for the Construction industry is not only my passion but is my legacy.

My family has always been involved in development and rentals, so for me, a career in construction was a given. I thrive on finding solutions to any construction problem. One of our most prominent projects was building the largest Sikh temple outside of India, in Southall. We helped save this project from near ruin and created a widely-publicised religious centre.

I always give 100% of my dedication and focus to each project regardless of size or value. And I always keep my eye on the fine details and love to collaborate with each client to achieve their vision. The challenge is what I most enjoy and nothing satisfies me more than seeing a job from concept through to completion.

My two dogs, family and the gym keep me busy outside of work. I am a keen ‘bootcamper’ and attend one or two a year to keep my fitness levels at their highest.

Commercial & Finance Director

Peter Oliver

Having worked in the industry for more years than I care to admit, it was a great feeling to be in charge of my own destiny and work in a business environment of my own making. Darcy feels like home as we are all one big family.

Our construction and commercial team work exceptionally well and at Darcy, it never feels like work – especially when you are enjoying yourself so much!

I take pleasure in external pursuits such as off road cycling, I enjoy having a swim a couple of times a week and keeping fit for my hiking holidays.
