The Structural Timber Association (STA) has announced the appointed of Gerard Lockey as a board member to represent members from the installer category.
As the current director of MINT Construction, a specialist in structural timber-frame installations, Gerard brings more than 30 years of experience, including works like Brent Cross West station.
Andrew Orriss, chief executive of the STA, said: “We are pleased to announce the appointment of Gerard Lockey, who has been an active member of the STA for many years, chairing the Skills and Training Committee. He was instrumental in the introduction of the Timber Frame Competency Award Scheme and oversaw the evolution of that into the Installer Training Scheme we have today.
“The Board is very grateful for the time and effort Gerard has already committed over the years, and it seems fitting that he is now given this opportunity to further support and represent the installer membership category, particularly with the growing interest for structural timber systems in the market.”
