Jon Adams spent more than 20 years with Balfour Beatty, rising to northern managing director, before joining Lagan Construction Group and H&J Martin in 2016.
He joins Cheshire-based Pochin Construction at a busy time. It is working on 12 projects, including a 拢15m private rented sector scheme in Stoke-on-Trent, a logistics facility for DPD in Chadderton and De Trafford Estates鈥� Manchester Gardens project that features three developments in Castlefield.
Pochin鈥檚 chief executive Jim Nicholson said: 鈥淛on joins us with an exceptional track record at a time when Pochin鈥檚 is going from strength to strength. Since our take-private just a few short years ago, the construction directors 鈥� Mark Hatton, Jim Alexander and Eddie Bredenhann 鈥� have done an outstanding job in cultivating a pipeline of construction projects across the region which we鈥檙e extremely proud of. Success breeds success and I鈥檓 sure Jon鈥檚 input will be invaluable as the team continues to thrive.鈥�
Jon Adams added: 鈥淎lthough operating at a national level in recent roles, I have always maintained a close affinity with the northwest. With my experience and knowledge of this market, customer base and supply chain, I am relishing the opportunity to now lead a long-established northwest construction business with a respected reputation. It鈥檚 our aim to become the contractor of choice for customers, talent and supply chain alike, and I鈥檓 looking forward to making that the case as part of the tight-knit team at Pochin鈥檚.鈥�
