In his role, Edmunds will take over day-to-day running of the business, as well as Constructionline’s long term growth strategy including overseeing the development and launch of the company’s new web-based digital platform and buyer services.

Edmunds has more than 15 years’ experience delivering business transformation, product development and new market growth within the tech sector across a broad range of industries, from start-up to mid-market enterprises.
