Steve Wignall has been a director of Crown House Technologies since 2004 and ran the northern business as operations director before moving south to head up southern operations for almost two years.

During this time he was responsible for overseeing some of the UK’s most challenging public and private sector engineering projects within the building, healthcare, education, rail, social housing and nuclear sectors.

Projects included twelve of the UK’s major acute PFI hospitals, works at Sellafield nuclear facility, GCHQ Cheltenham, Heathrow Airport,  the Trinity Leeds and Liverpool One retail developments, the National Air Traffic Service HQ at Prestwick and over £500m of education sector projects.

A source told the Enquirer: “He’s a massive loss to the business in my opinion, a really good guy.”
