Timber frame company Benfield ATT has made two key appointments.

Paul Davies has joined the company to head the expansion of its new regional office. He will be responsible for developing timber frame project management work in the north-west, west Midlands and north Wales, and will also oversee national projects.

Mr Davies has many years’ timber and timber frame experience, including work with Swedish-style timber frame houses in the 1980s.

French timber frame expert Yannig Robert has joined Benfield as European project engineer and will head the company’s technical and professional services department. He was previously with TRADA Technology where he worked on EuroCode 5.
