New Rock faces

Although the prolonged economic downturn has seen many in our industry struggle, Rock has continued to steadily grow. Importantly, this has been controlled growth, made possible by the careful reengineering of our business over the last three years. To meet our vision for future growth we are currently in the phase of expanding our team of professionals and have, in recent months, recruited 20 new full-time staff across the UK – a combination of young graduates and experienced site managers.

Since becoming managing director of Rock, John Walsh and his board level colleagues have focused on building Rock into an organisation which will support the kind of growth we are currently experiencing. “To prepare Rock for what might come,” John explains, “we implemented a strategic planning process which would ensure sustained and controlled growth. Effective monitoring, analysis and shrewd decision-making are all key, and have helped us recognise that this is the right moment to bring a significant number of fresh, highly qualified staff on board. I am very much looking forward to working with all of Rock’s new people across the UK.”
