Who we are
Our mission at Enable, is to create infrastructure solutions with lasting community value.
Creating solutions that make infrastructure possible is the lifeblood of what we do. Whether that be construction, engineering, design, resourcing, hire, or welfare. We are dedicated to advancing our capabilities and capacities for better, safer, more efficient and effective infrastructure. We pride ourselves on a history that spans nearly four decades across rail, road, power, and utilities. We embrace the future as we pioneer new technologies and enter new markets.
We do what we do because infrastructure, to us, enables lives. It enables access to opportunity and necessity. It enables access to the activities and the people we love. It fosters development and progress in every aspect of life – social, cultural, scientific, economic, technological, and personal. We believe in the transformative power of infrastructure, not just after it’s delivered, but from its inception.
At Enable we see the whole value chain of infrastructure, from beginning to end, and the multiplicity of wealth this provides a community. Be those new employment opportunities, investment in skills & training, upholding the highest safety standards or innovating sustainability practices. We care about equipping individuals and communities with both the tangible and intangible for future generations to come. We care about the legacy we build – lasting community value matters to us.

GROUP LEADERSHIP
-
Hi, I’m Shane and the CEO of Enable. I’ve been with this business since 2007 when I joined to help the original founder to retire. I became the Managing Director in 2012 and then led a management buy-out (MBO) in 2020.
I have a very personal relationship with this business. I feel like everything we do reflects me and my standards on some level. I hope your experience with our company as a staff member, client or supplier, is a positive one during which you feel cared for and is an experience I can be proud of.
I am a simplistic person; I believe in doing things right and doing them well. I believe that I will never stop learning and improving myself and my businesses. I put my everything into the success of this company.
Family and health are also important to me. As well as my extended family at Enable Group, I have a young family at home whom I adore.

As the Chief Operating Officer of Enable Group and Managing Director of Enable Hire and Enable Welfare, I bring a rich and diverse background in construction management to our dynamic leadership team. With a degree in construction management and credentials as a chartered construction manager, my expertise spans quantity surveying, commercial management, project management, and executive leadership.
Originally from York, I now call Essex home, where I live with my family.Since joining Enable in 2015 and stepping into a directorial role in 2016, I’ve embraced the challenge of driving innovation and growth within our organisation. My role is multifaceted, encompassing leadership, business development, and the optimisation of our internal operations. Notable achievements include the restructuring of our commercial and procurement functions, the implementation of a new ERP system, and the successful establishment of Enable Hire. I’m also proud to have played a key role in our management buyout (MBO).
At Enable, we’ve fostered a culture that’s both exciting and rewarding, deeply rooted in our core values. This environment empowers our team to excel and thrive.
Outside of work, I’m passionate about music. I’m an avid musician and conductor, and I stay active through regular squash matches and five-a-side football.

Hi, I’m Daniel, the Managing Director at Enable Infrastructure. I started my career at 16 through a YTS scheme, working my way up from the tools to a board director. Along the way, I earned an MBA from Kingston University and gained over 30 years of experience. I've had the chance to work on major projects like CTRL, Crossrail, HS2, and the Forth Road Bridge, and I've led rail frameworks in CP5, CP6, and now CP7.
I joined Enable in 2017 as Operations Director and was part of the MBO buyout in 2020 led by Shane. I’m passionate about building infrastructure that serves communities and the environment, and I'm dedicated to creating a collaborative, inclusive culture where everyone can grow.
As Managing Director, I oversee complex projects across various sectors, focusing on commercial management, value engineering, and team leadership. I’ve successfully secured and delivered multiple contracts, always aiming for high quality, on-time completion, and great value to our customers.

Hi, I am Tom Foreman, the Chief Financial Officer of Enable. I joined the Group in September 2022.
I qualified as an accountant at Deloitte in 2002 and have spent 20 years in finance, in a career that has taken me around the world. I have worked in a variety of different businesses including travel companies, football clubs, computer games testing as well as construction.
I’m excited about the future of Enable – I joined because I believe the Group has the people, the opportunities and the desire to really drive forwards.
Outside of work, I am a keen badminton player, hill walker and skier – pursuits I am introducing two young children to with mixed success.
