Stanley-based, roofing, building maintenance and security products specialist, Hodgson Sayers, has appointed Aaron Elliott and David Spence as contracts managers and Will Wigham as assistant quantity surveyor.
Aaron, from Newton Aycliffe, specialises in heritage work and has taken the lead on a significant Grade I listed restoration project at Woodlands Hall, Knitsley, Consett.
During his career, he has worked on a number of high-profile historic sites, including Durham Castle, Durham Cathedral and Beamish Hall Hotel. His knowledge of traditional construction methods and conservation principles will help drive the delivery of specialist roofing and restoration contracts. Aaron will also further support the firm’s work in pitched roofing.
Aaron, said: “One of the reasons I was attracted to Hodgson Sayers is because of the high standards the business sets. It’s the most thorough company I’ve worked for in terms of compliance and health and safety and there’s real depth in the team.
“There’s also great support in terms of training and development. I’m keen to expand my experience in pitched roofing and I’ll be undertaking further product and industry training so I can take on more of these projects going forward.”
Joining Aaron in the contracts management team is David Spence, from Quarrington Hill, Durham, who brings a wealth of experience to the business and will oversee a number of key projects.
David, said: “From day one I could see how well organised the company is.
“There’s a clear commitment to doing things properly and a real sense of purpose that runs through the whole team. Hodgson Sayers is growth orientated with a clear direction and I’m looking forward to helping deliver that strategy through our projects on the ground.”
Will Wigham, from Wallsend, North Tyneside, joins as assistant quantity surveyor and will be supporting the team across a wide range of contracts. His appointment is part of the company’s continued investment in early career roles and technical progression.
