After more than four years with William Verry Limited, Geoff Taylor, Pre-Construction Director, has decided to take up a new position as Chief Executive of The General Group, which includes the successful General Demolition company. The appointment will take effect from 2nd February 2009.
Craig Jones, Chief Executive of The Verry Group says: “We are obviously disappointed to lose Geoff. However, we are immensely grateful for the way in which Geoff has led the front end of the business, securing many significant projects with the team over the years. He leaves Verry with a great legacy of award-winning schemes and projects on site with a value in excess of £130m which gives us real security for the challenges of 2009 and beyond. I am delighted that Geoff has agreed to maintain a Non-Executive position with us and all at Verry Construction join me in wishing Geoff every success for the future.”
Colin McLoughlin, Chairman of The General Group, commented: “I am delighted that Geoff is joining us at this time to take the General Group into the next phase of our growth plan. I have been impressed with how Verry has developed under Geoff’s direction and look forward to him taking the group forward to support the existing core businesses of General Demolition and General Recycling. Geoff will continue to expand and develop the General Group’s commitment to delivering environmentally-friendly solutions for demolition and construction waste, alternative fuels and many other fascinating opportunities within this buoyant and vital sector.”
