Meet the Team

Andy Torn – Managing Director

With over 20 years experience in the Building and Civil Engineering sector and an extremely broad and varied experience of all aspects of the industry Andy established A Torn Construction Ltd in March 2006. Andy has taken the company forward from a turnover of £330k in the first year to over £2.5 million in 2009.

The ethos has always been to foster close relationships with clients by delivering projects on time, while maintaining quality and high safety standards. ATC now has a proven track record of achieving exactly this, and prides itself on working very closely with clients from concept to completion to ensure that the client gets the best outcome achievable.

Andy has ensured that ATC works with an excellent range of clients including ABP, Qualter Hall, The Environment Agency, Singleton Birch and DHL Logistics.

Andy is extremely proud of where the company is, with a strong client base, excellent management team and a reliable, sound workforce. ATC is now looking forward to building on the success of the previous few years and taking the company to the next level.
