We are proud to be able to introduce more new faces at Harrogate Steel as we continue to grow and expand our diverse and talented team. John McMullan, a recent College leaver and Engineering specialist is a Commercial Assistant in our Ballymena office and we caught up with him on how his role and our Northern Ireland operation are developing.
The Harrogate Steel, Northern Ireland office, opened its doors in 2020 and is led by General Manager David Warwick. David spotted John’s hardworking and driven attitude when he worked with him briefly whilst John was completing his engineering studies and knew that he would bring a fresh and dynamic perspective to his future career in the steel industry.
John comments on his journey so far:
“I joined Harrogate Steel in July 2021 and since then I’ve had the opportunity to be involved in the planning stage for a number of exciting upcoming projects. Working with David, our General Manager, I support in the pricing of new enquiries, providing clients with an accurate quote for both structural and architectural steelwork schemes. I have worked with David previously, prior to joining Harrogate Steel and he’s been a fantastic mentor since I met him and since I completed my Level 3 BTEC in Engineering.
After sending out the quotes, I follow up with clients to make sure the client has everything they need, to get a good understanding of their requirements and expectations and to keep lines of communication open right up until the point at which the order is given the go ahead.
Having only been at Harrogate Steel for seven months I haven’t yet overseen a project from start to finish, but we are almost at completion stage with some and I’m excited to see the end result, knowing that I had a role to play in its success.
It’s rewarding to be part of such a talented and experienced team, both in Northern Ireland and with our colleagues in England, and I can’t wait to see what the rest of 2022 brings!”
Harrogate Steel works with a number of leading, mid-sized to large contractors across the UK on both structural and architectural metalwork projects, watch this space for further updates on our expert and valued team.
