Historic building supplies firm Frank Key strengthens management team with new recruits

A Nottingham building supplies, plant and tool hire firm which began more than 100 years ago has expanded its team.

Frank Key Group was founded in 1907 in Daybrook, Nottingham. It has since expanded into a regional group operating across the Midlands, Lancashire and Yorkshire, with five building supplies branches and 15 plant and tool hire depots.

The latest development in the firm's expansion involves the Midlands-based independent builders merchant strengthening its management team with two new full-time recruits.

New group head of marketing, Shafiq Sharif, and group head of human resources, Ruth Housley, have taken up their new roles at the firm's Daybrook branch and have already made their mark.

Shafiq has assisted with the implementation of the Frank Key re-brand, as well as the launch of the renovated Sheffield branch.

The firm says his industry experience and marketing skills will help to strengthen the leadership team as the company continues to develop the business to meet future ambitions.

Ruth joins with considerable experience in human resources. She will play a key role in developing the HR systems, processes and team, as well as ongoing projects such as the company handbook, role profiles and management training programmes.

James Norton, group managing director at Frank Key, said: "It is always exciting to welcome new members of staff, bringing with them a fresh perspective and ideas to the business."
