Mark Roach, Finance Director at George Roberts (North West) Ltd., has been named Finance Director of the Year in the £50–£120 million turnover category at the North West Regional FD Awards.

The awards at Liverpool’s Crowne Plaza on 14 November recognise the region’s top financial directors for their contributions to business growth and economic development. Mark stood out as one of the winners from the eight different categories among 28 finalists selected from 285 nominees.

Judges praised Mark’s leadership and the strategic foresight of George Roberts, highlighting the company’s ongoing commitment to quality and reliability.

Speaking about the accolade, Mark said: “This award reflects the hard work of the entire team at George Roberts. Together, we’ve redefined the standard for delivering reliable scaffolding solutions, ensuring peace of mind for our customers.”

Values-Driven Success

George Roberts attributes its success to its guiding principles, known as CARES: Collaborative, Adaptable, Reliable, Experts, and Solutions-focused.

These values underpin the company’s operations, shaping its relationships with employees, customers, and the wider community.

Employee Ownership Model Lauded

A key factor in Mark’s win was the establishment of an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) at George Roberts earlier this year. Judges noted the EOT as a progressive step, ensuring long-term stability and succession planning for the business.

The company, which operates from a 17-acre Super Depot and supplies NASC-approved scaffolding products, continues to expand globally. It remains focused on providing reliable, high-quality solutions to customers worldwide.

The award highlights George Roberts’ continued position as a leading firm in the scaffolding industry. Mark’s recognition is seen as a reflection of the company’s collective effort and forward-thinking strategy.

With this latest accolade, George Roberts continues to build on its reputation for excellence and innovation.
