THE MANAGING director of structural steel fabricator National Engineering is retiring at the end of August.
Dave Williams will be handing over his role to Norm Chapman so he can enjoy life cruising, shooting and golfing.
According to Williams, the structural steel industry was experiencing difficult times with rocketing steel prices, shortages and a lack of major projects because of the poor building market. The financial difficulty has been made worse by the American sub prime lending crisis.
He also says National Engineering’s plans to relocate to a new site in Burrangong have been effectively finalised, and are now subject to planning approval and rezoning.
