Mark Dawson
Director
After an a 8 year career working for Bovis Homes, Taylor Wimpey and Vistry Group, Mark Dawson founded CMS in 2020. Up until that point Mark had handled complex project management for these large-scale developers creating a reputation for being a genuine problem solver, a quality that he has continued with since opening CMS Group.
Before joining Bovis Homes, Mark ran a decorating business which followed a stint in manufacturing at Plessey, a role he took on after an early professional football career came to an end.
Mark runs CMS Group as a family business from their office in Queen Anne’s Battery, Plymouth, which has to be one of the best views in the city. He still enjoys football although watches more than plays now.
Clynt Miller
Operations Manager
Clynt has built an excellent reputation over the years for delivering high-quality workmanship and consistently strong standards across his projects. His attention to detail and commitment to doing things properly have resulted in many customers and businesses returning to him time and again.
His experience extends beyond delivering projects, too, helping to train and support apprentices as they begin their careers in the building industry.
Clynt’s eye for detail and commitment to maintaining high standards make him ideally placed to help us deliver increasingly ambitious projects – on time, on budget and to the standard our clients expect.
Sarah Dawson
Office Manager
CMS Group simply wouldn’t run without Sarah Dawson, it’s her that keeps everything organised and in order. She knows exactly what it takes to run a family business having been involved in her own parent’s business for a decent period of time before joining CMS Group.
Sarah oversees all logistics and makes sure that the team delivers against the brief and agreed workload. She also manages one of the specific ops teams herself for one of CMS Group’s major clients.
Sarah’s involvement with CMS Group is a reflection of the success of the business. As it grew, it needed someone to manage the day-to-day administration of the business and who better to trust than your own wife who just happened to have the necessary skills to do the job perfectly.
Hollie Smith
Finance Officer
Every successful business always has one eye on the finances and at CMS Group, that’s Hollie Smith’s responsibility. She joined the business in 2022 while obtaining her business degree at the University of Plymouth, graduating in 2023 and she now oversees all the company’s finances.
Hollie handles credit control, tracks spending and budgets, reconciles the bank accounts, deals with all day-to-day financial issues as well as several operational elements such as fleet management.
In simple terms, she has one of the most important roles at CMS Group … she is the ‘money’.
… and Luna too!
How we work

Our ethos is centred on the fact that ‘our’ team is ‘your’ team and that we consistently match the standards that you expect from your those within your own organisation. The name on the badge may be different but the way we work is the same … it’s a seamless way of working.
