Paul Maidment joins group that includes Panel Projects, Stancold and ProjectLink

Paul Maidment has joined the Gilcrest Group as group managing director to drive growth across the UK group’s three divisions – Panel Projects, Stancold and ProjectLink.

Panel Projects is a specialist producer of composite panels for the construction of cleanrooms, as well as other managed environments.

Stancold supplies temperature-controlled hygienic environments to food retailers and fire-rated composite walls to the construction industry.

ProjectLink provides turnkey construction solutions to the food industry.

All three businesses are based in Bristol, Avon.

Maidment has more than 20 years’ experience in the construction and building products sectors, most recently with SIG.

“The level of knowledge and expertise within the workforce is second to none and I am looking forward to building on the group's reputation and generating growth both in the UK and internationally,” he said.

Group chief executive Kevin Gillham added: “Despite the downturn in the construction industry over the past few years, all divisions of Gilcrest have remained profitable and we believe that now is the right time to focus on expansion.”
