After years helping steer Teignbridge forward, Mark Phare is handing over the role of Group Managing Director – with James Batten and Ian Mills now stepping into the position as Joint Group Managing Directors.
Between them, James and Ian bring decades of experience across the business and a deep understanding of the customers, projects, markets, and people that make Teignbridge what it is today.
James and Ian shared: “Teignbridge has always been built on innovation, people, relationships, and a drive to keep moving forward. We’re proud to take on this role together and continue building on the strong foundations already in place, supporting our customers, investing in our teams, and shaping the next chapter of the business.”
Mark reflected: “Thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey – our teams in the UK and overseas, our customers, suppliers, partners, and everyone who has played a role in making Teignbridge what it is today. It’s been a privilege to be part of this team, and I’m excited to see what comes next.”
