Dirk Britton - Managing Director
Dirk Britton brings a genuine passion for delivering outstanding service, underpinned by decades of experience within the construction industry. His deep knowledge of the sector, combined with a hands-on and client-focused approach, sets him apart.
In late 2022, Dirk founded BHR Commercial Construction to create a business built on strong partnerships and the opportunity to deliver a diverse range of high-quality projects.
Known for his clear communication and approachable manner, Dirk values building long-term relationships with clients and stakeholders alike. He believes that successful projects are founded on fairness, transparency, and mutual respect—principles that continue to shape the way BHR operates.

Dirk and his team maintain strong, long-standing relationships with trusted subcontractors, working collaboratively as an extension of BHR’s highly skilled in-house team. This integrated approach fosters exceptional cooperation on site and consistently contributes to the successful delivery of projects.
Dirk’s Journey into Construction
Dirk began his career with a City & Guilds qualification in Plastering, putting his skills to use on a prestigious restoration project at Osborne House on the Isle of Wight, a Royal Heritage site. The project involved the sensitive conversion of part of the historic building into retirement apartments for former service personnel, requiring a careful balance between modernisation and the preservation of original features.
His early career then took him to the EuroDisney resort, where he spent a year expanding his skillset by working across a wide range of trades and disciplines on a complex, large-scale site.
Building Experience Across Europe
Dirk was later offered an opportunity to work in Berlin, contributing to the construction of municipal buildings including hospitals, fire stations, and care homes. Among the most challenging projects was assisting in the restoration of the lower levels of the Bundestag following flooding from the River Spree, where he developed valuable expertise in remedial and recovery works.
As his experience grew, so did his leadership responsibilities. Dirk frequently led teams of contractors and learned German—an asset that proved invaluable when he began working with what was then an emerging supermarket brand, Lidl. Over the years, he would go on to deliver more than 50 stores for the retailer, many of them across the UK.
Beyond Retail Construction
Alongside retail projects, Dirk worked across a diverse range of sectors, including a period on a wood-burning energy plant in Lockerbie, Scotland. This variety reinforced his desire to move beyond a single construction niche.
That ambition ultimately led to the founding of BHR Commercial Construction, a business designed to deliver a broad spectrum of commercial projects. Today, BHR undertakes work ranging from professional kitchen installations and change-of-use fit-outs to full ground-up developments, with a particular passion for heritage restoration and repurposing.
Every Project Matters
Ask Dirk about his favourite project and he will tell you he doesn’t have one. “They’re all my babies,” he says. Each project has its own story, and Dirk takes pride in knowing every detail—from concept through to completion—treating every build with the same care, commitment, and attention it deserves.
Dan Rogers - Senior Project Manager
Daniel Rogers is a Senior Project Manager at BHR, bringing a strong trade background and extensive site management experience to the team.
He began his career in the construction industry as an apprentice carpenter, completing his placement alongside formal study and achieving a City & Guilds qualification in Carpentry. Following his apprenticeship, Daniel progressed to a site joiner role, where he developed a high level of technical proficiency, before being promoted to charge hand, leading teams of carpenters delivering first-fix works across multiple sites.
Daniel’s career has since seen him work on a wide range of projects across London, steadily advancing through roles including Site Foreman and Site Manager. Each position further strengthened his leadership capabilities, organisational skills, and understanding of complex construction programmes.

He holds the VAC Construction/Foundation qualification and a CSCS Site Management card, alongside the CITB Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS). In addition, Daniel has completed training in Scaffold Safety Inspection, Fire Marshal Awareness, and holds an FFA Level 3 First Aid qualification, ensuring the highest standards of safety and compliance on site.
A Wide Range of Projects
Daniel is highly experienced in working within demanding client environments and operational constraints. One notable project involved the refurbishment of hotel rooms at the Waldorf in London, carried out while the hotel remained fully operational. The work was completed one floor at a time, requiring a discreet and carefully managed approach to minimise disruption to guests. Heavy-duty curtaining and controlled working practices were used to conceal the works and reduce noise, resulting in a successful outcome and a highly satisfied client.
Throughout his career, Daniel has worked across a broad range of projects, from new residential developments to prestigious heritage buildings including Somerset House and the British Museum. He is equally confident working with historic structures and traditional materials as he is applying modern construction methods and contemporary finishes.
Why BHR
Daniel has worked alongside Dirk for more than seven years, sharing a commitment to quality delivery, professionalism, and outstanding client service. Joining BHR was a natural progression, built on mutual trust and aligned values.
He takes great pride in BHR’s 100% record of successful, on-time project delivery and the strong reputation this has created. Daniel will not compromise on quality and is focused on delivering every project on programme—often ahead of schedule.
As Senior Project Manager, Daniel is heavily site-based and involved from the earliest planning stages through to final handover. His responsibilities include programme management, coordination, and strategic oversight, ensuring each project is delivered safely, efficiently, and to specification.
Health and safety is central to Daniel’s role, alongside maintaining clear communication between site teams and clients. His priority is always to ensure projects are delivered on time, on specification, and to the high standards expected of BHR.
Simon Hughes - General Manager
With Simon Hughes at the helm, BHR’s office operations are in safe and capable hands. As the company’s bookkeeper and administrative lead, Simon ensures the business runs smoothly behind the scenes, with every detail managed accurately and efficiently. Simon has worked closely with Dirk and Daniel for more than four years, following his response to an opportunity with a construction firm in Germany. The strong working relationship that developed between the three quickly laid the foundations for a long-term partnership, making the decision to establish BHR together a natural next step
Simon’s introduction to the construction industry came with a little encouragement from his father—perhaps more accurately described as a firm nudge in the right direction. Living in London at the time, Simon enjoyed a carefree lifestyle, but his father had other plans. When gentle persuasion failed to result in employment, he stepped in to ensure Simon began building a career.
Read more about Simon Hughes
Simon began his career working for a commercial and industrial heating and ventilation pipe retailer—supplying infrastructure on a very different scale to domestic systems. Some of the pipework was substantial enough to walk through, and his customers ranged from local authorities to major construction contractors. It was here that Simon gained his first real insight into the commercial construction sector and how large-scale projects operate.
He later moved into a role selling kitchens and bathrooms, where he developed a strong interest in the financial and administrative side of the industry. As Simon and his wife enjoyed travelling, the opportunity to work in Germany was a natural fit—and it was there that his professional connection with Dirk and Daniel was formed.
Getting a Grip on Construction Finance
Driven by a desire to deepen his understanding of construction finances, Simon undertook a Quantity Surveying course to gain detailed knowledge of materials, quantities, and cost structures. While he did not intend to qualify formally, the course equipped him with a strong grasp of construction estimating and quotation processes, skills that now underpin his role at BHR.
Why BHR
Simon values the shared approach to business he has with Dirk, Daniel, and Jordan. Their collective “can-do” mindset, commitment to teamwork, and focus on delivering projects on time and within budget define the way BHR operates.
The speed, efficiency, and clear communication across the team make BHR a highly effective and trusted partner for its clients—something reflected consistently in the results they deliver.
Jordan Britton - Assistant PM
Jordan Britton has grown up around the construction industry, developing a natural understanding of the sector from an early age. Inspired by his father, Dirk, he was keen to begin his career as soon as possible and entered the industry straight from school.
He started out as a general labourer before progressing into groundworks, quickly gaining valuable hands-on experience and learning from a wide range of trades on site. This exposure gave Jordan a broad, practical understanding of how different disciplines come together to deliver a project from start to finish.
With a clear ambition to move into site management, Jordan committed to further study alongside his site experience. He successfully completed the Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS), First Aid certification, and a recognised construction qualification. In addition, he has studied for an International Business and Marketing Diploma, supporting his commercial awareness and organisational skills.
Read more about Jordan Britton
With over six years’ experience in the construction industry, Jordan has progressed into the role of Assistant Project Manager. Working closely with senior team members, including Daniel Rogers, he continues to develop the leadership and technical skills required to run projects independently. Alongside his project responsibilities, Jordan also oversees general logistics across the business, ensuring smooth coordination and efficient delivery on all BHR projects.
When Lockdown Led to Learning
During the Covid period, Jordan took the opportunity to further develop his understanding of the construction management process. While site activity continued, increased time in the office allowed him to observe client discussions, negotiations, and decision-making at management level. This exposure provided valuable insight into how projects are planned, priced, and agreed from a commercial and strategic perspective.
Now six years into his construction career, Jordan is involved in projects from pre-start and site preparation through to final delivery, supporting seamless execution at every stage.
From Beginning to Completion
A recent example of this approach is the fit-out of a Snap Fitness gym on Addlestone High Street. Jordan was involved from the initial meetings and tendering stage and went on to take a key supervisory and client liaison role throughout the build. He played an instrumental part in delivering the project to a high standard and ahead of programme.
The increased level of responsibility has proven a strong fit, and Jordan is focused on continuing to progress into larger leadership roles on future projects.
Jordan’s guiding principle is to deliver every project to the standard he would expect from a build of his own. His drive to exceed client expectations aligns closely with the values established by Dirk and embedded across BHR as a business.
