Dan Spencer, Torsion Group CEO said: "Appointing Mike as our new Operations Director is a key milestone for Torsion Group and the wider Torsion Companies, and his breadth of experience will prove invaluable in delivering our long-term business plan whilst ensuring we maintain our track record of 100% delivery and excellent health and safety record since conception. We will continue to grow the business sustainably, and with Mike joining the leadership team this will ensure we continue to deliver our projects on time, to programme and with great quality. His passion, professionalism and drive will, I'm sure, lead us into exciting times and keep us true to our core values."
Torsion Group has increased both profit and turnover in 2019 with projected turnover to exceed £65m through its construction business, and the appointment of Mike Armstrong is reflective of its growth and success.
