Wishing Matthew Clarke A Happy Retirement

After exactly 19 years to the day of outstanding service, we say a heartfelt thank you and farewell to Matt Clarke, who is retiring from CMB today as Regional Managing Director.

Throughout his time at CMB, Matt has been a driving force behind our growth, success, and culture. His leadership, knowledge, and commitment has helped shape the business into what it is today.

Matt joined CMB in April 2007 as one of 2 Directors who set up the CMB Bristol office and later was appointed as Regional Managing Director in April 2012. Over the years, he has built not only a strong professional legacy but also lasting relationships across the business.

CMB Founder and Group Managing Director, Steve Borley, shared:

“I first met Matt over 40 years ago when we both worked for national contractors and hit it off immediately with similar views on how the industry should be shaped. We kept in touch over the years and I thought he was the perfect fit for us which proved right when he joined us 19 years ago.

His energy and personality has had a lasting contribution to the growth of the business on the other side of the Severn Bridge and Matt has played a major part in the Story that is CMB Engineering.

We are very grateful to Matt for his contribution to the growth and legacy of the CMB business, and we wish him well in his well-earned retirement.”

Matt added:

“It’s been a genuine pleasure working with so many great people over the years. Thank you for the support, the laughs, and for making work far more enjoyable than it had any right to be. By my reckoning, since starting work at 16, I’ve put in the best part of 15,700 days on the job – so I feel I’ve just about earned a change of routine!

I wish you all the very best for the future… and I’ll raise a glass to you all while perfecting my new full-time role of doing exactly what I fancy each day.”

On behalf of everyone at CMB, thank you for your years of service Matt, and we wish you a happy and relaxing retirement.
