The country’s largest brickwork and scaffolding subcontractor Lee Marley Brickwork has strengthened its senior team to meet forecast growth from large-scale regeneration schemes.

The brickwork specialist has hired house builder financial veteran Matt Sheehan as chief financial officer.

Sheenan brings 20 years’ experience in finance with volume house builders and joins from Countryside Partnerships, where he was divisional finance director of the Home Counties and South businesses.

Before Countryside, he held senior finance roles at Barratt Developments and Mount Anvil.

Chief executive officer, Lee Marley, said: “With revenue expected to be £90m in 2023, the company has come a long way since we started in 1997 and the appointment of Matt is the natural next step in our journey.

“My first job in London after finishing my apprenticeship was on a Countryside job and we have worked with them ever since. They have a great track record for spotting and developing managerial talent and I’m proud that as a business we now attract the same calibre of skills that Matt has in abundance.”

Chief operating officer, Dan Clarkson, said: “Our focus on large scale regeneration projects, in and around London, sits well with his background at Countryside, Barratt and Mount Anvil. ”
