Construction safety specialist Safer Sphere has appointed Jonathan King from WYG as a director, based in its head office in St Helens.

King was formerly head of safety management at WYG, and head of project safety at Edmond Shipway. He has been brought into the business to assist managing director Mike Forsyth with the day-to-day running of the company, and will operate nationally across three offices in St Helens, Liverpool, and Reading.

The company has started to get noticed not only in the industry but as a successful business which has been proven by the multiple award wins and nominations and by the key projects the business is working on. I am looking forward to working with Mike and the team and using my knowledge and experience from previous roles, I hope to help the business grow and further succeed.”
