A North Wales-based engineering, environmental, and planning consultancy has made a key appointment to its board.
Caulmert, which has offices in St Asaph, Bangor, Altrincham, Nottingham, Sheffield, and Kent, has welcomed Ffrancon Williams as it bids to double its £3.85 million turnover in the next five years.
Ffrancon, who is the former group chief executive of North Wales’ largest housing association, Adra, takes up the role of non-executive director and business development manager.
Ffrancon will join founder and managing director Mike Caulfield, director Donna Milne, director of engineering Paul Saville, director of planning Susan Crowley, and company secretary Harry Caulfield in shaping the future of the company.
Ffrancon, who has more than 20 years’ experience across sectors including rail, housing, and manufacturing, said:
“Having met all the senior leaders and many of the team, there is reason to be excited about the future.
“The strength and ability of the people here at Caulmert comes across the moment you step onboard, and the open culture is conducive to driving the business forward.
“I’m confident I can add value in Caulmert’s bid to double turnover between now and 2029, which in itself is not an unrealistic target. There is an impressive range of service capabilities offered by Caulmert which can provide a one stop shop for clients for professional services.
“Existing clients clearly value the services currently provided by Caulmert and it is now about putting firm building blocks in place to continue the company’s growth.”
Mike Caulfield said:
“We are thrilled to have Ffrancon at Caulmert given his experience in leadership and growing businesses.
“A company benefits from a strong board, and the new-look structure, which contains a variety of expertise, will drive us forward by re-energising and refocusing the team.
“The last four years have been extremely challenging given a global pandemic, unstable economy, and a cost-of-living crisis, but the future looks bright as we build on strong foundations and a fantastic client base.”
