METSO distributor McHale Plant Sales has bolstered its UK management team with the appointment of James Cliffe to head its operations in Tamworth and Edinburgh.
Described as ‘hugely qualified’ in the field of aggregates production, quarrying and concrete products manufacturing, Cliffe has taken up the role of company manager UK.
Prior to joining McHale, he held managerial appointments within CRH and its Roadstone subsidiary, including that of national mobile crushing division manager and Huntstown Quarry location manager – one of the two largest and busiest quarries in the Roadstone network which, combined, delivered a total extraction volume of 500,000 tonnes of material per month.
Resident in Dublin, Cliffe is a native of Dungarvan in Co. Waterford. His qualifications include a Masters in construction project management, an Honours in construction management & engineering, and a Batchelors degree in civil engineering.
Within McHale Plant Sales UK, his priorities will include sales and management of the UK sales team, the on-going task of team building, facilities and services development at Tamworth and Edinburgh, and the maintenance of close communications with Metso users, key accounts, and UK crushing sector operators generally.
