鈥淚 feel a huge amount of loyalty, pride and responsibility for Story Contracting,鈥� she said, 鈥減articularly for the construction division where I have previously worked. I believe that a combination of education along with experience working in a different sector of the construction industry, particularly for an organisation as widely respected as Arup, has given me the knowledge, skills, contacts and experience to bring back to Story Contracting and help our business achieve its goals.鈥�
Story Contracting chief executive Jason Butterworth said: 鈥淥ur Construction division has experienced a promising start to the year having secured work for 60% of our 2019 business plan, and as such, we identified the need for a strong leader to help us deliver on these projects.鈥�
