Kevin Page, the site manager at Newport, has a rich background in working with poles. After serving in the British Army, he started his career at Burt, Boulton and Haywood in 1992. He began as a telecom pole inspector and fabricator before progressing to leadership roles, including Production Supervisor, Regulatory Affairs Manager, and Production Manager.
In 2015, after Iivari Mononen purchased BBH, he began working for Scanpole BBH Ltd. as a Site and Technical Manager. “We’re only as good as the team we have around us,” he notes proudly. Kevin was pleased that the family-owned company appreciated the passion that BBH had for its work. “I look forward to seeing the development of Newport over the new few years.”
When he isn’t working, Kevin enjoys playing golf and traveling. He fondly remembers playing in the Holjäkkä Open in 2018; a trip which turned into a wonderful week-long holiday. “We stayed with Pekka Mononen's family.” Kevin and his wife even stayed at the family’s cabin by a lake for a couple days. “It was an unforgettable experience, and we hope to repeat it someday.”
Are you ready to race? Scanpole is delighted to announce that we’re supporting Arttu Vattulainen: an up-and-coming athlete who’s aiming to compete in the 2024 Paris Olympic Marathon. We’ll send you regular updates on Arttu’s progress throughout the year. He’s been training in Monte Gordo, Portugal, and had this to say:
Hello from Monte Gordo, Portugal! I’ve been training hard for the past two and a half weeks, and making solid progress. Everything has been going according to plan here at the camp, and I’ve been able to complete important marathon training under good conditions. Next, I’ll head to Germany, where I’ll be running in the Berlin Half Marathon this Sunday. This event is almost as big as the legendary Berlin Marathon, with around 30,000 runners competing this year. I’ll spend the time between races at home in Finland, likely returning to my familiar running routine due to the winter conditions!
