Billington Holdings’ director to retire

Peter Hart will be succeeded by Trevor Taylor in December.

Mr Taylor joined the Barnsley company as financial controller in 2008 working alongside Mr Hart.

In March he was appointed financial director of Peter Marshall Steel Stairs, a subsidiary of Billington, the specialist business which designs and installs high engineered steelwork and balustrade systems.

Chief executive Steve Fareham said: “The board would like to thank Peter for his 22 years of dedication and hard work which contributed to the growth of the company.

“We will miss Peter both personally and professionally and would like to wish him well in his retirement but we look forward to welcoming Trevor to the board.

“Trevor joined Billington three years ago and was instrumental in the acquisition of Peter Marshall Steel Stairs. Billington prides itself in investing in our staff and promoting people from within.

“I am in no doubt that Trevor’s experience and knowledge of the company will ensure a smooth transition.”
