On the move: the latest East Midlands hires
Leicestershire-based health and safety risk management firm, Finch Consulting, has announced a raft of promotions and role changes as it sets its sights on becoming a medium sized organisation.
Asset management expert Paul Wood and electrical engineer Martin White have both been promoted from senior to principal consultants.
Finch has also focused its expertise into three capabilities: asset management; health & safety management; and process safety management. The roles of capability leads have been created, with Paul Wood, Morag McWilliam and Tristan Pulford taking on the roles for each capability respectively.
This in turn has also created the position for Pulford to join the executive board as capability director, from his previous position as principal consultant, alongside being a capability lead.
There have also been promotions in the wider group which Finch sits, with Jon Ruddock advancing from general manager to managing director of LEAPS and Rob Migliaccio becoming the technical director of Tautus.
Andrew Millington, Finch finance director, said: “Our mission is to grow sustainably with our clients so investing into our people is key to building those relationships. We like to reward our community and feel the promotions are a testament to the hard work of everyone in the group.
“LEAPS and Tautus are businesses that were created from within Finch and it is fantastic to see our investment in them both flourish. We’re creating a strong future, with more opportunities for our people and to hit that medium sized business milestone with Finch.”
