Aycliffe steel company, 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 a national company. Fred, from Harrogate, says the move was made easy because of his long-standing association with a number of key staff already at Finley Structures. He knows the firm’s founder, operations manager Jim Graham and commercial director company.
“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 am impressed by the work ethic of the people here – a very forwardthinking business and I’m looking forward to the new challenge.” The firm, founded by John Finley in 2000, is currently working on a 960-tonne project to fabricate and erect the steel frame for Hull Venue, on behalf of main contractor Bam Construction after being awarded a string of contracts in the first half of 2017.
