Cleveland Bridge restructures management

The management of Cleveland Bridge has been restructured. Roddy Grant will relinquish his role as chief executive of the Cleveland Bridge Group and will take up a new position as special advisor to the shareholders.

With immediate effect, Jon Dale will become president of Cleveland Bridge, while maintaining his role as managing director of Whessoe Oil & Gas. Dale will be supported by Brian Rogan, who remains MD of Cleveland Bridge UK and Paul Jackson, vice president, major bridges and Dorman Long Engineering.

The Cleveland Bridge group and Whessoe OIl & Gas are owned by the Al Rushaid Group.

All three companies will trade independently and the shareholders said: "There are no future plans to combine any of the brands, all of which have reputations that are at the least over a century old."

Commenting on the announcement, a spokesperson for the shareholders said: “Roddy Grant has played a vital part in the restructuring and streamlining of the Cleveland Bridge business and now takes up a new role in the company. We now have three very viable companies and we remain committed to their growth and financial stability, as they move forward and expand their business portfolios.”
