Our Team
Tim Woodward
Managing Director
I am very passionate about PIMS and the industry. I am committed to providing a first-class service to all our clients, many of which we have built up lasting relationships over the past 25 years.
I have a full understanding from site installation. I started out in life as a Class 1 coded pipefitter welder, progressing through the ranks to site supervisor, Site Manager, Project Manager, Contracts Manager, Director and Finally to Managing Director. All of this was done with hard work and determination.
I have a very good understanding of all aspects of construction projects, sites and the management of them and their respective teams. I take a personal interest in every project that we are involved with. I will place myself on site at various times, especially when there are Shutdowns to allow break ins and connections into Steam supplies. I will also be on sites where there are heavy or awkward lifts to be carried out.
Darren Goodman
Operations Director
I have been involved in the construction industry since leaving school and started as a draughtsman. I was lucky enough to progress to CAD in its infancy. Having worked in both consultants and contractors I have gained a solid understanding of the construction design cycle. Over the years I have worked on a varied history of projects ranging from significant water treatment works to the large city towers including the Gherkin.
I am now a Director at PIMS and focus on our operation to ensure good interaction and feedback with all project stakeholders. My goal is to maintain that we give the client the best cost and solution.
