Dragonfly Management (Bolsover) Ltd and Dragonfly Development Ltd
History: Inspired by the discovery of Erasipteron Bolsoveri, a large Dragonfly fossil, in Bolsover Colliery, Dragonfly was set up as a development company responsible for delivering Bolsover District Council’s construction requirements including new build domestic & commercial, capital schemes but can also deliver projects for other clients in a one stop consultancy led turnkey project delivery approach.
One of the Council’s core ambitions, as set out in its Ambition Statement, is to become a dynamic, self-sufficient and flexible Council that delivers excellent services, whilst adapting to local aspirations and acting as the economic and environmental driver for Bolsover District.
Dragonfly is set up to enable economic and community regeneration through direct commercial action and to return a shareholder dividend to Bolsover District Council.
Our aim is to be an ethical, socially responsible principal construction contractor. Our main focus is to generate 10% profit and to deliver projects on time to a very high quality standard. We strive to work with clients to provide them with the most efficient value for money schemes possible, which puts quality and positive client experience over maximising profit. We nurture a supportive, collaborative and inclusive environment, where people are empowered to make decisions, be creative, have the ability to influence improvements and the future direction of the organisation.
