Grundon strengthens Board of Directors with two new appointments

Grundon Sand & Gravel has started the new year with two new additions to its Board of Directors.

Simon Arnold has been appointed Finance Director, whilst Jonathan Harris takes over as Technical Director, a role previously held by Stephen Roscoe, who has moved to the newly-created position of Compliance Director.

This will see Stephen maintain responsibility for Grundon’s health, safety and environmental compliance, alongside his commitments as Technical Director of Grundon subsidiary O.C.O Technology.

The move brings Grundon’s total number of directors to eight.

Grundon’s Managing Director, Clayton Sullivan-Webb, said: “We are delighted to welcome Simon and Jonathan to the Grundon board.

“They bring with them a range of complementary skills and experiences which will further strengthen our board. We are confident they will prove to be valuable additions as we continue to execute our strategy, drive business growth, and build strength and resilience to better serve our customers.”

He continued: “We also welcome Stephen in his new role as Compliance Director. His extensive knowledge and experience in the areas of health, safety and environmental compliance continue to be invaluable to our business; and we are excited about the future growth prospects for O.C.O Technology.”
