New managing director at Ainscough

Ainscough Crane Hire Limited has announced the appointment of Robin Richardson as its new managing director.

I am pleased someone of Robin’s experience and background is taking on the role, and I wish Robin and the team at Ainscough every success for the future."

Richardson said, “Ainscough is a fantastic business with a strong brand and market presence. I am both pleased and proud to be taking on the challenge and look forward to working with the team as we embark on the next exciting phase of our story."
