Robert Yeandle Retires After Many Years of Service

19th February 2026 | News

We want to share that in December 2025 Rob Yeandle, our chairman for the last 5 1/2 years, has retired thereby bringing to an end his many years of service with John Perkins Construction.

Rob has been instrumental in the history and development of John Perkins Construction. Having started his career with John Perkins & Son Ltd. in 1978, Rob went on to co-found John Perkins (Bristol) Limited in 1992 alongside David Perkins. Following a rebranding and repositioning exercise in 2005 John Perkins (Bristol) Ltd. was renamed as John Perkins Construction Ltd.

From December 1992 until August 2020 in the position of Managing Director, Rob had a significant role in shaping the company, working with the other Directors to establish the values, standards and professional approach that continue to underpin the business today. His contribution to the formation and long-term direction of JPC was substantial.

As Rob steps into retirement, we thank him for his commitment and leadership over the years and wish him well in all his future endeavours.
