Leon Day, managing director, Universal Arches, will step down from his role to become a consultant to the business. He stated: ‘I am delighted that my business is joining the Kaliber Group because it will open up further markets for Universal Arches and I know my team will rise to the challenge. I will continue to be involved and I am very excited about Universal Arches’ next chapter.
