National contractor Torsion Group has appointed a new Operations Director.

Former Mace Construction Director Mike Armstrong will take on the role, utilising his previous experience in the Commercial Offices sector business to oversee all operational activities for Torsion.

Mike also held the roles of Project Director and Director of Planning & Design Management at Shepherd Construction.

Dan Spencer, Torsion Group CEO said: "Appointing Mike as our new Operations Director is a key milestone for Torsion Group and the wider Torsion Companies, and his breadth of experience will prove invaluable in delivering our long-term business plan whilst ensuring we maintain our track record of 100% delivery and excellent health and safety record since conception. We will continue to grow the business sustainably, and with Mike joining the leadership team this will ensure we continue to deliver our projects on time, to programme and with great quality. His passion, professionalism and drive will, I'm sure, lead us into exciting times and keep us true to our core values."


Torsion Group has increased both profit and turnover in 2019 with projected turnover to exceed £65m through its construction business, and the appointment of Mike Armstrong is reflective of its growth and success. The appointment of the new Operations Director has been strategically planned to accommodate the next chapter in Torsion Group's journey, as it continues to grow and secure a number of high-value projects throughout the UK for 2020/21.

Newly appointed Operations Director, Mike Armstrong said: "I am delighted to be joining Torsion Group at an exciting time in its growth strategy. I have been genuinely impressed by the quality of people and positive forward-thinking culture of the business. I leave Mace with some great memories, having worked with a fabulous team of people delivering some really interesting projects. I now look forward to starting an exciting journey with Torsion Group and hope I can make a positive contribution in helping to shape the company's future and building on its already considerable success."
