STONEHAVEN-based Deeside Timberframe, part of the Bancon Group, has appointed a new operations director to help drive its continued expansion and growth.
Stewart Ferguson is currently director of the Bancon Group’s specialist works division.
The timber systems manufacturer is reaping the rewards of its investment in additional resources in central Scotland and north-west of England, with more than 60 per cent of its business now coming from outwith the north-east of Scotland.
Ferguson has worked in the construction industry for more than 30 years. He said: “Timber frame systems are increasingly being used in the construction of homes, supermarkets and hotels and are considered one of the most economic, efficient and environmentally friendly methods of construction, so there is huge potential to continue expanding the company and its reach in the UK market.”
Deeside Timberframe’s precision-engineered timber systems are manufactured at its operations in Stonehaven and Stirling, where the company employs 70 people.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
