Stockport firm building for fifty per cent growth

Building, maintenance and refurbishment firm, FT Finley, has appointed Steve Parrington as Managing Director to lead its ambitious strategy to grow the business by 50 per cent before 2019.

The appointment comes as the Stockport-founded business kicks off plans to deliver a five-year sustainable growth plan that will increase turnover from £10m to at least £20m.

Mr Parrington joins the firm from housing and regeneration specialist, Keepmoat, where he was area director and a member of the company’s board for 10 years.

He brings more than 35 years’ experience in the social housing and construction industries to the role and has previously managed multi-million pound projects from leading bids to building strategic partnerships.

He will be focusing on expanding FT Finley’s business by working closely with existing clients whilst increasing its presence across Merseyside, North Wales and Cheshire, as well as diversifying the company’s offer to increase activity in the wider construction industry.

The business’ former managing director, Jason Finley, will now assume the role of senior executive director and will lead on day to day activities across the board.

FT Finley will continue to invest across its team and infrastructure, providing training opportunities and evolving its quality assurance and health and safety standards throughout 2014.

Steve Parrington said: “With strong family values and a focus on the best quality service as its backbone, FT Finley has developed into a very successful and sustainable business, and a key player in the industry.

“With a turnover of £10m and ambitious growth plans, the company is now entering a new phase and I’m very excited about joining the team to achieve this vision to develop the business and manoeuvre into new markets throughout the region and beyond.”

Jason Finley, senior executive director from FT Finley, said: “Steve’s appointment marks a new era for us, and the beginning of significant growth for the business. His experience and skills will help drive the necessary changes to move us forward while delivering the same, dedicated service that has seen FT Finley flourish over the last 40 years.”
