As a group of eight construction companies, the Applebridge Family provides a range of construction disciplines within the residential, commercial and multi-utility sectors. Through the last six years, the Middlesbrough business has grown exponentially, acquiring four new sections and growing its annual turnover year on year.

Customer Care Manager Ashleigh Allman has been recruited to head up the new division, which will reinforce Applebridge’s dedication to customer support. She said that over the next few months the team will visit customers to introduce themselves.

She added: “We are really eager to introduce ourselves and start to build vital relationships, we look forward to meeting you all soon!”

Group Operations Director Andy Ray said: “In the past customers have had issues with knowing who to contact after Applebridge teams have left site, we wanted to provide a quality service that could really support customers even after concluding stages of a project.”
