Wakefield-headquartered construction services group, Henley Group has added two new senior appointments to its growing team.
Mark Jennings joins as group financial controller, whilst Dave Cawley, formerly Henley specialists senior project manager, has been promoted to group construction director. Both moves come as Henley Group continues to establish itself as an integrated construction specialist services group.
As group financial controller, Mark Jennings will play an intrinsic role in the continued growth of the business. Mark, who is ACCA Qualified, brings over a decade of experience in accountancy practice.
He is looking to use his expertise in accountancy and investment finance to implement best practice across the business, integrate financial reporting, and provide financial input into future growth plans across the whole of Henley Group’s portfolio of businesses.
Commenting on his move, Mark said: “I’m delighted to be joining the Henley team at an exciting time in the company’s expansion. I look forward to supporting the business’s continued growth within the UK construction sector, overseeing the day-to-day financial operations and providing essential financial insights to ensure success.”
Dave Cawley’s key responsibilities as construction director will include overseeing projects end-to-end, focusing on maintaining the Henley focus of delivering high standards of quality and safety across all group businesses, and contributing to long term growth by fostering long-term client relationships through successful project delivery.
Dave brings vast experience of the construction sector with his impressive skillset. Commenting on his new position, Dave said: “I am thrilled to be starting my new role as construction director at Henley Group.
“I already know the team well after working alongside them but I’m now looking forward to an exciting new challenge and can’t wait to be overseeing some of our incredible projects. One of my key accomplishments so far is gaining knowledge of the various products and systems within the construction industry, so I’m excited to use all the skills I’ve learned to further develop the business.”
Henley Group was established by Shaun Henley in 2012.
Shaun added: “The addition of Mark to our team is essential for our continued growth trajectory – he’s bringing experience from a wide range of businesses across several sectors to assist in producing key financials, giving us increased visibility over performance to make decisions at both division level and group level for shareholders and directors.
“The promotion of Dave is very well deserved, and a strategic move for the company. Dave has vast experience in the sector and his management experience with us means he understands the workings of our company. I’m certain he’ll have a positive impact as he leads our operational delivery teams.”
