Family-owned Manchester & Cheshire Construction, based in Salford, is looking to grow its annual turnover from 拢8.5m last year to 拢20m by 2018. To help with this, it has appointed business growth specialist Peter Collins as its first-ever chairman.
Peter Collins is a main board adviser to 30 northwest companies and holds several other non-executive posts across the region. He was a co-founder of Fast Forward Growth, a Manchester-based organisation that advises companies on their expansion and funding strategies.
David Lowe, managing director of Manchester & Cheshire Construction, said: 鈥淲e have been working with Peter in a less formal capacity for some time and we have found his input to be invaluable. His appointment as our first-ever chairman brings his skills further into the mix. He points us in the right direction, challenges our traditional way of thinking and provides a sounding board for new ideas.鈥�
Mr Collins said: 鈥淲ith a strong trading history, robust balance sheet, highly-reputable project portfolio and repeat client list, Manchester & Cheshire Construction is ripe for increased momentum and I am looking forward to using my experience and skills to help the company realise its growth plans.鈥�
