North West contractor Pochin Construction has strengthened its construction division by appointing Jon Adams as Managing Director (MD).
Mr Adams, who previously worked for 10 years as MD of Balfour Beatty's major projects in the north, has been selected following a period of growth for Pochin.
The business is currently working on 12 projects, including a £15 million PRS scheme in Stoke-on-Trent, a major new logistics facility for DPD in Chadderton and De Trafford Estates' Manchester Gardens project, which features three developments in Castlefield.
Jim Nicholson, Chief Executive Officer, said: "Jon joins us with an exceptional track record at a time when Pochin's is going from strength to strength. Since our take-private just a few short years ago, the construction directors – Mark Hatton, Jim Alexander and Eddie Bredenhann – have done an outstanding job in cultivating a pipeline of construction projects across the region which we're extremely proud of. Success breeds success and I'm sure Jon's input will be invaluable as the team continues to thrive."
Mr Adams added: "Although operating at a national level in recent roles, I have always maintained a close affinity with the North West. With my experience and knowledge of this market, customer base and supply chain, I am relishing the opportunity to now lead a long-established North West construction business with a respected reputation.
"It's our aim to become the contractor of choice for customers, talent and supply chain alike, and I'm looking forward to making that the case as part of the tight-knit team at Pochin's."
