Embrace Steel Group, a leading provider of steel frame building solutions, has appointed Ross McAdam as its new Chief Financial Officer. Based in Glasgow, Mr McAdam will be responsible for leading the company's Scottish operations and playing a key role in achieving a group revenue target of over £100 million.

Mr McAdam joins Embrace from Craig Corporate, where he served as a Director and provided financial leadership to a range of businesses, including a high-growth B2B SaaS company. He brings extensive experience in financial management, due diligence, and M&A activity.

This appointment follows a period of significant growth for Embrace Steel Group, including the acquisition of Shufflebottom, a South Wales-based steel fabrication company, and a £1.5 million investment in new machinery for its portfolio company, Hambleton Steel.
