The team worked closely with Wolseley representatives, including Chairman Mark Richardson and Director Richard Burrows, and members of the Facade Access management team, including CEO Tony Combe and CFO Stephen Scanlon. 


Peter Dunne said: “It was great to work with Wolseley on this matter, having previously assisted them at the time they originally acquired an interest in the Facade Access group.”
