NEW CONTRACTS MANAGER JOINS US FROM SEVERFIELD

Finley Structures has recruited a new contracts manager from a major national firm. Fred Searle has joined the Finley management team after 29 years with Thirsk-based Severfield. Fred, from Harrogate, says the move was made easy because of his longstanding association with a number of key staff already at Finley Structures. He knows the firm’ s Managing Director and founder, John Finley, from his days as a Severfield director. He also worked with Finley’ s current Operations Manager Jim Graham and Commercial Director Diane Ruston during their time with the North Yorkshireheadquartered company. Jim joined Finley from Severfield in October 2013 and Ruston followed him North in May 2014.

“ There’ s a 25-year history between me and some of the key personnel here at Finley Structures,” said Fred.“ What attracted me to join Finley’ s was the working environment and the family-run ethos it has at the heart of the company.“ I’ ve also been impressed by the work ethic of the people here. It’ s a very forward-thinking business and I’ m looking forward to the new challenge.” Jim added:“ Fred and I go way back and we’ re delighted to have him on board as part of the management team.“ He’ ll be an extremely useful addition to the workforce as we continue to grow.”
