2024 has been a monumental year for us. Although we're based in the North West of the UK, we've earned the majority of our stripes in in North America and Europe. We've built a reputation for specializing in niche construction sectors, like building envelope and complex product industries. As the year comes to a close, we're celebrating record-breaking profits and looking ahead to an ambitious future—one that involves growing by 80% over the next 18 months.
Big goals call for bold moves, and Lignum Group is doing just that by expanding its leadership team. Under the guidance of CEO Tom Wood, the company is taking strategic steps to continue its upward trajectory, including the launch of a new Commercial division and a complete revamp of its Client Services division.
Leadership isn’t just about titles and hierarchy—it's about growth, innovation, and creating meaningful partnerships. The new Commercial division will play a crucial role in driving these partnerships, particularly in the UK and North America.
With the addition of Adam Tilston as Commercial Director and Rick Fahey as Business Development Manager, both experienced professionals with proven track records, we're positioning ourselves for the future.
These changes don’t just reflect internal restructuring—they show Lignum’s commitment to offering even more value to its clients. Whether it’s finding the right talent for top-tier construction companies or creating tailored solutions for niche industries, Lignum is focused on elevating customer experience and staying ahead of the curve.

With the new Commercial division and enhanced Client Services, we can build on our momentum and achieve our ambitious growth targets.”
If you've met Tom, you'll know his passion for the industry is palpable, and our growth strategy is more than just a business move—it’s about building lasting relationships and staying true to our core mission - to get results for both candidates and clients.
Over the coming months, we're planning to expand the team even further, continuing to push into the North American market while staying connected to our UK roots.
“We’re proud to keep our headquarters in Warrington as we grow globally,” Tom adds. “It shows our commitment to local talent and to creating a company culture that values community, even as we expand internationally. We’re confident these changes will help us deliver even more for our clients and candidates alike.”
