New Business

Northern Bear, the Northern based group of support services businesses, is pleased to announce the opening of Jennings Roofing Manchester, a sister roofing business to the original business based in Leeds. This brings the number of operating businesses within the group to 13. 

Jennings Roofing Limited (which operated the Leeds business) was acquired by Northern Bear in November 2007.  Following that acquisition, Graham Jennings, the former managing director, became an operations director for Northern Bear. 

Graham Jennings commented:  'We are delighted to be opening our latest business in Manchester. Eric Holmes has been appointed as Managing Director of Jennings Roofing Manchester and Martin Briggs at Jennings Roofing Leeds, both of whom are reporting directly to me. It is our intention to search for similar opportunities (including for other Northern Bear businesses), which can be built around existing customer relations within a geographic region.'
