NEW APPOINTMENT FURTHER STRENGTHENS OUR OPERATIONS

We are delighted to announce we have appointed Richard Haigh as operations manager.

Richard has more than 15 years’ experience within the asbestos consultancy industry. His most recent position was within operations management in which his focus was on developing client relationships to achieve and understand their individual requirements.

In his role as operations manager at Franks Portlock, Richard will be responsible for overseeing asbestos management and consultancy operations nationwide, with a particular focus on contract delivery performance in coordination with our regional management staff and dedicated project management staff.

Richard’s appointment comes at a time of sustained growth for Franks Portlock as in recent months we have strengthened our national teams with the appointment of Natasha Wilson as a trainee asbestos analyst and Amber Thomson as an asbestos analyst.

In addition, Sean Green has recently joined us as head of operations for water hygiene, a range of new services which are set to launch in Spring 2020. This will include a full consultancy service from client training, compliance management, risk assessment, monitoring, design and supply, rectification, and the modification and maintenance of hot and cold water systems.

Commenting on his appointment, Richard Haigh, operations manager at Franks Portlock, said: “Franks Portlock is renowned for its commitment to quality and its focus on the service and close relationships it provides its clients with, an ethos that I share. I am therefore delighted to join the Franks Portlock team.

I am looking forward to utilising my industry experience and working together with my colleagues to achieve these defined targets.”
