Liam Smith & John Rowland, Smith Brothers

Yorkshire-based high-voltage engineering and contracting firm Smith Brothers continues to expand its workforce with the appointment of a new operations manager.

The latest onboarding also coincides with promotions for existing colleagues too, with Liam Smith moving into the role of technical director.

Joining as operations manager, John Rowland who boasts an established and varied career in the industry will support on the delivery of all design projects, services, and infrastructure as well as orchestrating the day-to-day running of all site staff.

Having worked on a range of notable projects, including helping to deliver the Northern PowerGrid’s first-ever full Active Network Management (ANM), John brings decades of expertise to the business.

Commenting on John’s appointment, commercial director Dave Ogden said: “John joins the business as we continue to focus on building on our industry-leading engineering capabilities, and we look forward to him supporting the wider team with his vast experience and knowledge.”

Scott Latimer, Harron Homes

Leeds-based housebuilder Harron Homes has appointed a new Part Exchange Manager, Scott Latimer, who will oversee the delivery of Harron’s Part Exchange scheme for those customers looking to trade in their old houses for a brand new Harron home across Yorkshire.

Hailing from Newcastle, Scott brings to Harron Homes an extensive knowledge of the housing market from his previous experience as an estate agent.

“My previous role as an estate agent valuer provided me with a well-rounded idea of the property market; as Part Exchange Manager, I’m now on the other side of the process,” says Scott. “This first-hand knowledge has given me a great sense of perspective when determining the value of our customer’s property.”

One of Scott’s favourite parts of the job is that he is able to deliver excellent customer experience, aided by the rapid turnaround of the Part Exchange process:
