Prior to joining WMS, Hayley was, for the past 5 years a Contracts Manager within the Asbestos Removal industry (and has worked in the industry for the last 10 years), gaining the RSPH Level 4 qualification in Contracts Management.

Hayley will be key to its continued success overseeing a smooth Response Services provision across Bideford, Chudleigh and Redruth offices. WMS would like to welcome Hayley and wish her the best of luck in her career within the business.”
