Leading building services provider J S Wright has bolstered its future as a £50million business with the appointment of a new Finance Manager.
Kerry Clewes, based at J S Wright’s head office in Birmingham, was previously in charge of the finance department for a local corporate finance consultancy.
She will assist Finance Director Martin Roberts in monitoring and preparing the accounts for the company, which also has offices in Bristol and London and a 150-strong directly employed workforce.
A London Business School graduate currently working towards her professional qualification as a Member of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), Kerry has replaced Sandra Holmes who has retired from J S Wright as Finance Manager after 28 years’ service.
Kerry, who lives at Bearwood in Birmingham, is also a qualified ballet teacher who is aiming to hold local classes in her spare time.

With our forward order book from May worth over £50 million, Kerry’s skills and experience will help us to continue to grow as one of the UK’s leading mechanical and electrical services specialists.”
