Liverpool construction firm Crossfield Group has strengthened its growing team with another high-profile appointment from a major tier one contractor.
Iain Sutton takes hel as Crossfield Construction's operation director
Iain Sutton has made the move after more than 22 years in senior roles at Wates to join construction division of Crossfield Group as head of operations.
Sutton is a familiar face to many of Crossfield’s senior team with directors David Cain, John Paul Cassidy and Lucy O’Connor, along with group commercial manager, Tom Dillon, having all previously worked alongside him during stints at Wates.
Michael Macaulay, director at Crossfield Construction, said: “Iain is a highly respected figure in the construction industry.
“As we enter our next stage of growth, it is key that we invest in the right staff and we are extremely pleased to have attracted someone of Iain’s calibre. His knowledge and experience will be invaluable in the delivery of our future pipeline of work.”
Since it was founded in 2012 by founders David Cain and former Wates site manager John Paul Cassidy, Crossfield has experienced steady growth, with its team now 65-strong across the company.
As well as Wates, many members of the Crossfield senior team have experience in working at major contractors including Willmott Dixon, Kier, and Vinci.
Crossfield Construction has recently completed a development of 130 residential apartments in Liverpool’s Baltic Triangle and is several weeks into creating a new £2.6m T Levels building at Cardinal Newman College in Preston amongst its current projects.
