Butterworth said: “It will be a real honour to lead TPA, a strong division with a track record of growth and success. Dave’s TPA legacy is one to be proud of, leaving the business with positive growth trends and solid foundations to build on. I’ve had such a warm welcome. There is clearly an abundance of experience and new ideas in the business, and I’m very confident that together we can develop and deliver a fantastic future for TPA and further strengthen our service proposition to our customers.”
TPA offers a wide range of ground protection mats and temporary roadways, while Groundforce specialises in shoring and piling equipment, pipe stoppers and trenchless technology.
