Construction partner Stepnell has promoted its Midlands lead to the role of director.

Adrian Barnes, who has spent four years overseeing the firm’s activity in the region, has taken up the post.

As a newly appointed director, he will now continue to grow Stepnell in the Midlands.

He will also bring to the board sound strategic thinking, creative ideas and good governance around its structure alongside a wider remit.

He said: “I would like to thank the board of directors for appointing me as a director of Stepnell, and to express how determined I am to take this next step to further push myself and the business to achieve even more success.

“I have worked hard to oversee and deliver excellence on a number of successful construction schemes, grow and upskill our team, expand our expertise and look after our clients.

“This approach has led to us growing our presence and profitability in the Midlands region, and importantly contribute to the shared success of our business, which feeds into our ‘One Stepnell’ culture.

“I look forward to this next chapter of my career at Stepnell and what the future holds.”
