One of the UK’s leading specialists in stonemasonry and architectural precast concrete, Classic Masonry has announced the appointment of Joe Pearson.
Joe, 35, from Newcastle, joins the company in a business development admin role.
With extensive experience working within the construction sector, formerly as an operations assistant at Wates Group, Joe was also office manager at Sir Robert McAlpine for nearly 12 years.
In his new role at Classic Masonry, Joe will analyse all of the company data, organising and optimising it to improve quality and maximise usability for growth.

“Classic Masonry has an excellent reputation and the team is very focused and hands on. This is an opportunity to make a difference and really put my stamp on the role. I am looking to streamline and rationalise company data making it more user friendly while also ensuring we are compliant for procurement.
“I will be working closely with our business development director, Tony Kay and taking on more responsibility in the months ahead.”
Established 35 years ago, Classic Masonry, offers a comprehensive range of services, including design development, stone sourcing and selection, cutting, profiling, carving and fabrication. It undertakes both new build masonry construction and restoration and conservation projects, which include cleaning, decontamination and facade consolidation. Its expertise spans both modern and historic environments.
Mike Moody, managing director at Classic Masonry, said: “We warmly welcome Joe to the team, who brings a great blend of knowledge and enthusiasm. The fact he has spent a great deal of his career working with tier 1 contractors will be of enormous benefit to us as we plan for future growth. He will bring a new dimension to our business development and procurement processes.”
