Jeremey Norris has been appointed managing director of Lawsons (Whetsone) Ltd, the Building, Timber, Fencing and Landscaping Suppliers group of companies.

After joining the company in 1994, Norris has served in a number of roles including over fifteen years as commercial director.

Chairman Simon Lawson says Norris’s appointment will lead the company “through a period of consolidation after considerable acquisition activity.”

Until recently Norris worked alongside Paul Rushnet as joint managing director, he says the company’s new found “size and structure requires Paul (Rushnet) to increase his focus upon finance and legal requirements.”

Norris goes on to say he looks forward to “steering the business through the exciting growth years ahead.”
