An Ipswich-based construction company has appointed a new Contracts Director as it continues to target further growth.
Simon Hubert has worked at SEH French for the past 16 years, most recently as the company’s Contracts Manager, with his accomplishments including working on the firm’s biggest project to date.
He said he is excited to take on his new role as the company looks to the future.
“We have had a really positive couple of years and the company has seen strong, stable growth over that time, which is fantastic,” he said. “It’s a really exciting time.
“I’m an ambitious person and want to drive the company’s ambitions too.”
Simon started his career at another local construction firm as a quantity surveyor, moving to SEH French in 2009. He was made SEH French’s Contracts Manager in 2014.
He said: “During my time as Contracts Manager I worked on our biggest project to date, a new production facility with offices for a company called Natures Menu – a £13.5m project.
“That was an amazing project and the most challenging I have worked on.
“My new role will still centre on contract delivery but will see me take more of a role in managing our staff and ensuring everything runs smoothly.
“I have worked closely with our directors Paul Rodwell and Simon Girling and have learned a huge amount from them – I can’t thank them enough for their support.
“We have had some great recruitment over the last few years and have really strengthened our skills and ability to deliver big projects.
“But we need to take a balanced approach as we continue to develop, making sure we grow in a responsible and sustainable way.”
The company has also recently promoted Chris Fleet to Commercial Manager.
Simon Girling, Director at SEH French said: “We are delighted to appoint Simon and Chris to their new positions.
“They both have a proven track record of delivering high quality projects and are the perfect people to take on these important roles.”
