Cheshire woman leads construction site services hire firm

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 31 Oct, 06:17 · Archive

Chloe Ainscough is managing director of Kensite, a North-West-based site services hire firm. The company rents out site accommodation and portable workspaces including cabins, canteens, offices, toilet blocks and welfare units to customers in the construction, infrastructure and events industries.

Ainscough joined Kensite two-and-a-half years ago after her husband Craig bought the business to diversify away from property development. She previously worked as an accountant for an American pharmaceuticals company. Before that, she opened a children's wear shop in Parbold when she was 25, shortly after her daughter Sophia was born prematurely.

Ainscough grew up watching her father run a busy building firm and comes from an entrepreneurial family. Her grandfather was one of the founders of Coleman Milne in Bolton, which started by repairing horseboxes before moving into making limousines and hearses. She has worked since childhood, starting with a paper round and taking a shop job at 13.
