Crendon Timber Engineering has announced the appointment of Alex McLeod as its new Managing Director (MD).

He will take over the position following the retirement of Philip Bell after 38 years of service with the company.

Mr McLeod brings a wide-ranging expertise in green building products to Crendon, having been MD of St Gobain Isover and CEO of Superglass.


Crendon states his experience in growing markets for leading edge building products matches the company's ambition to increase its timber engineered roof and floors business.

"The market for engineered timber roof trusses has grown by 12% in the past year," Mr McLeod said.

"Crendon's sales have expanded well over and above market performance. With the agility to respond both locally and nationally to our housebuilding customers, we are looking to develop our reputation further as the developer's first choice for timber engineered solutions."

Crendon recently opened its sixth and seventh roof truss manufacturing plants in Exeter and Bridgend as part of a nationwide expansion.
