Consultancy boss takes on big patch.

CAL Group, the Teesside staffing and dispute resolution consultancy, has appointed Andy Temple as business development manager. He will be responsible for developing its client base in the North of England and Scotland.

A goal-orientated business manager, Andy, who lives in Ayrshire, will work from both the Teesside and Glasgow offices. He has 12 years' managerial experience gained in the armed forces as well as seven years in utilities sector management and development.

He said: "I am joining CaL at a particularly exciting time in its development in a position that will allow me to draw upon my extensive man management and sales development experience. CaL Solutions was established 10 years ago and has grown to its current multi-million-pound turnover due to its success in providing manpower for the utilities, petrochem, construction and engineering sectors.

"It will be my responsibility to further develop this client base and, importantly, grow the CaL Consultancy business in tandem - a dispute resolution and claims consultancy which has been recently launched to provide support for companies that find they are caught up in the increasingly adversarial world of contractual claims."

CaL md Dean Cummins said: "Andy has already begun to make an outstanding contribution to the business and I am greatly looking forward to working with him ... "
