James Lacey
Housebuilder Harron Homes has promoted James Lacey to trainee assistant site manager Shipley Lakeside in Heanor, Nottinghamshire.
Lacey brings over 15 years of industry experience to the team at Shipley Lakeside.

I’ve held a variety of roles since then, ranging from site supervisor on other developments to my most recent role as a driver.
