Vice-president Adrian Forbes-Black explains this further expansion: "We have known for a long while that although we have been very strong in the Western and Central areas of the country, the three-hour time difference from the East coast has definitely been a factor in our further growth. With that in mind, earlier this year we consciously decided to look at opening an office somewhere in the Eastern time zone. When the opportunity to employ someone of Elmer's calibre and experience arose the decision to open the office in Atlanta made perfect sense. It's our hope that being in Georgia will allow us easy access to the large markets in Florida and Tennessee as well as not being a million miles away from the other major cities situated on the East coast."
Veith officially joined Total Structures on 1 August. However, the office will not be fully operational until 12 September when he returns from his Honeymoon in Europe. Contact details for the office will be available shortly and will be distributed accordingly, the company says.
