The charity says it has appointed Gavin Crane, its former Chair of the Board of Trustees, into the newly created role as it looks to build on its solid foundations to expand its scope, reach and influence within the construction industry. Mr Crane explained that his first challenge is to map out the strategy and direction of the charity for the next 5–10 years as it looks to build on its three cornerstones of providing practical support by completing projects, offering financial help to tradespeople facing hardship, and making wellbeing services readily accessible to anyone in the construction industry who is in crisis. “In its simplest form, the new CEO role will mean ensuring that more people support Band of Builders, so we can help more people,” said Mr Crane. “It’s a very exciting time to be part of Band of Builders because the charity is gaining huge momentum, which is all down to the commitment of so many of our base of volunteers, who give their time generously to support the charity and its activities. It’s also down to the benefactors and sponsors who have given us significant financial support – in many cases making us their official charity partner. The board of trustees has ambitious plans for the growth of the charity, and the creation of this role is a huge statement of intent. I’m looking forward to being at the heart of taking Band of Builders to the next level.” As well as being tasked with building more strategic partnerships and developing more fundraising opportunities, Mr Crane also has a wider-reaching ambition to be a positive voice on issues affecting the construction industry, such as apprenticeships, the skills gap, inclusion and gender discrimination. www.bandofbuilders.org MGMA CONTINES TO GROW The Metal Gutter Manufacturers Association (MGMA) has welcomed two new member companies to the Association: Weatherfast Limited and JPM Pressbrake Sections Limited. Weatherfast Limited, based in Great Barr, Birmingham, produce the WeatherFOLD gutter liner system which has been developed to fold with ease into any existing gutter, and once welded the system becomes seamless allowing water to flow freely towards outlets, whilst the steel base enables the liner to be easily maintained by simply brushing out. JPM Pressbrake Sections Limited, based in Dudley, is one of the largest fabricators of single skin and insulated composite gutters. The company also produces fascia gutters and all ancillary items such as stop ends, outlets, corners, weirs and rainwater pipes. The MGMA currently has 16 members and says membership is open to all companies who manufacture and market metal rainwater systems, and to those companies who provide a range of professional support services to the metal rainwater systems industry. www.mgma.co.uk Above: Gavin Crane has been appointed the first CEO of Band of Builders. 10 TC JUNE <strong>2022</strong>
