Masterton eyes opportunities south of the border with opening of new Yorkshire office.
Following a landmark year in 2012 that saw Masterton Decommissioning increase its turnover by 60 per cent to £16 million, the 33-year old Scottish-based company is expanding.
It has taken a suite of offices at Carwood Business Park, Leeds sto manage the increasing number of contracts it has won south of the Scottish border. The company has appointed 27 people from across the Yorkshire region to operate from its new northern base. Masterton has an additional 110 staff working from its headquarters in Grangemouth, Scotland.
“A significant proportion of the contracts we have won recently are in the North of England, so it made perfect sense to establish an operation in Yorkshire. This region of the country has a particularly strong demolition tradition and we knew we would be able to find the right kind of people with the right skills here. We have recruited 5 highly experienced contract, site and business development managers, estimators and planning engineers, and a further 22 multi-skilled operatives,” says managing director Steve Forster. “Our Yorkshire based project teams are already undertaking dismantling work at a number of sites across the north including Runcorn and Hebburn. At some point fairly soon we will be looking to open another operation further south too because we have some particularly big projects commencing in London and the South West.”
