Wrekin Products, has expanded its workforce once again in a continued streak of new hires with the appointment of operations director, Steve O’Brien.

As the business continues to diversify its workforce as it enjoys a period of considerable growth, Steve joins at a crucial time to provide strategy and direction to an evolving pipeline. With demands on the construction sector greater than ever, projects with improved technologies will be essential in reducing carbon emissions and contributing to net-zero targets.

With over 25 years of industry experience, Steve’s role will bring clarity to the wider business ambitions and support its efforts in becoming leading experts in decarbonising iron work solutions.

Steve said: “As operations continue to diversify, now is an essential time to continue to reiterate and drive home the important solutions that Wrekin offers. Both Wrekin Products and Geoworks provide unmatched products that truly work towards a more efficient future. With reducing the use of carbon in our materials, and a greater level of emphasis being placed on a consumer perception, it is our responsibility to educate people in the role of whole-life carbon and whole-life costs.

“We are building momentum that must be harnessed to continue monitoring and improving the systems required to prioritise safety, maximise efficiency and build resilience for a greener, cleaner, future.”

Simon Turner, commercial director said:

“This appointment demonstrates a continued investment and commitment to creating services and operations that are based around long-term positioning in the industry. As products are refined, we must consider the technology used, the specification of each solution, its sustainability and how to implement it safely, while working to our own net-zero targets for decarbonisation.

“Steve joins us at a time where we are reviewing our processes to ensure that collaboration, ownership and responsibility are in synergy with our business goals, enabling us to remain industry leaders, providing innovative and sustainable solutions.”
