Our Strengths
Conspargo has created a unique dynamic within which the leadership team have identified opportunities to create thriving brands in key sectors.
Leadership
Simon Kidney
Executive Chair
Originally from an investment banking background with experience in business development, acquisition and customer service strategy, Simon took up the role of CEO as part of a Management Buyout in October 2015.
Leading the group’s strategy and development over six years has been a challenge Simon has relished and the business has tripled in size, despite the ravages of the pandemic, expanding into property development and hospitality along the way.
Simon is currently undertaking his Doctorate in Business Administration on entrepreneurial and exit cycle research in the timber engineering sector at Cranfield University.
Mark Smy
Executive Chair
Mark worked his way up through the timber engineering sector from the very early days of his career and is very much at home in the manufacturing sector.
Starting off as an estimator and designer, Mark developed entrepreneurial instincts and with that a desire to manage truss factories himself, and moved to Robinson Manufacturing (RML), where he worked for founder Tim Robinson.
Mark instigated the expansion of RML’s factory network to cover areas beyond the East Midlands and in 2015, was offered the chance to buy RML from Tim Robinson, who was keen to retire, and accepted the challenge, bringing on board banker Simon Kidney as part of the management buyout.
Sam Gartside
Group FInance Director
Sam Gartside joined Conspargo as Group Finance Director in April 2020 on the first day of the first lockdown.
Originally from the North East, Sam has worked in finance across a number of industries. Having started her career with Hays in Newcastle, she moved down to Leicestershire in 2001 to continue working with them. Then going onwards to T-Systems in 2007, Sam managed the finance function for International Contracts, responsible for America, Asia and Europe.
In addition to her Group Finance Director role, Sam leads RML as CEO, together with General Manager Matt Korny and is supported by a strong team based across multiple sites.
