Motion - About

Our experienced team strive for transparent communication, clear accountability, and no-nonsense management to ensure projects are delivered.

Our Founder and Director, Tristan, first discovered his love of construction during childhood weekends helping out his dad, a painter and decorator, and it’s here that Motion Project Management’s story began.

After developing his passion throughout his youth, he decided to study Architecture at Uni in Manchester. It was during his training at an architect’s practice in Bristol that he discovered he had an aptitude for project management. Following a move to a project management consultancy in London, the freelance opportunities began to roll in and Tristan realised he had identified a gap in the market for his no-nonsense style of project management.

And so, in 2021, Motion Project Management was born. The business grew throughout 2022, with Tristan hiring his first team member and opening up MPM’s first office in Manchester. Today, the team continues to grow, and has offices in Manchester, Glasgow and London.

Project Management

Reliable, effective, and no-nonsense project management sits at the core of our business. We provide clear leadership from early briefing through to completion, coordinating teams, programmes, and budgets with a practical, detail-driven approach. Our role is to bring structure to complex projects, anticipate challenges before they arise, and maintain momentum on site, ensuring decisions are made efficiently and projects are delivered with confidence.

Employer's Agent / Contract Administrator

We act on your behalf as an expert, independent team focused on the consistent and rigorous administration of contracts. Our approach is precise and methodical, ensuring that roles, responsibilities, and obligations are clearly defined and upheld throughout the project lifecycle. By managing communication, certification, variations, and compliance, we protect our clients’ interests while supporting collaborative working and maintaining high standards across delivery.

Construction

We undertake a wide range of fast-paced construction projects throughout the UK, delivering work with a hands-on, pragmatic approach. Our teams are experienced in operating within live environments, tight programmes, and complex constraints, balancing speed with quality and control. From early planning through to handover, we focus on efficient delivery, clear coordination, and building solutions that are robust, considered, and built to last.

Simplicity

We focus on laying out clear, structured strategies that cut through complexity. By understanding the full scope of each project and carefully considering potential implications from the outset, we create straightforward routes forward. This clarity supports confident decision-making, reduces uncertainty, and allows projects to progress with focus and intent.

Problem-Solving

We approach challenges with a practical, solutions-led mindset. When issues arise, we assess the situation quickly, weigh the options, and make decisive recommendations for action. This ability to respond calmly and effectively helps keep programmes moving, risks managed, and projects firmly on track.

Care & Responsibility

We take full responsibility for delivering your project efficiently and to the highest standard. This means paying close attention to detail, maintaining accountability at every stage, and treating each project as if it were our own. Our commitment to care is reflected in the quality of our work, the relationships we build, and the outcomes we deliver.

Our commitment to you

We take ownership of delivering your project. No unnecessary reporting. No sugarcoating. No excuses. Straightforward lines of communication, clear accountability and reliable project management that ensures your project is delivered in a timely and efficient manner.
