The Cross Green based company is a leading manufacturer and designer of structural building components, providing patented innovative solutions, including masonry support and brick panel solutions - essential construction components used in construction of the largest modern-day proje cts in the UK.

Eight of the firm’s 118 Leedsbased colleagues will now take on new roles to help future growth, including newly-appointed strategic specification director Paul Ruding from Wakefield, who moves on from his incumbent position as head of strategic specification; Paul is also studying for a BA in Fire Safety Engineering – something that is being funded by ACS.

Colleague Andrew Spencer from York is also promoted from technical engineer to head of research and development, while Pontefract-based Jason Hedge is promoted to specification and design director (associate). ACS commercial director Gareth Twohey explained: “Investing in the future of this industry is a priority for ACS right now; we hope we are seen as the vanguard of new ideas, with products that will help developers, architects and contractors create safer and more sustaina ble structures.

“We achieve this by reinvesting huge percentages of our profits back into the business – that includes investing in colleagues like Paul, Jason and Andrew – each of whom is spearheading new ideas that support and ed ucate clients.”
