PermaGroup<\/a> has marked the next stage of their expansion with the appointment of a new managing director in Duncan Kirkwood<\/h2>\n

Duncan Kirkwood is joining national building products company PermaGroup, in collaboration with long-standing director Adrian Buttress.<\/p>\n

No stranger to the managing director role, Duncan brings more than 30 years of experience in the roofing and building products industry, having held senior positions at the likes of Marley Building Materials, Icopal Limited and most recently as MD of Carlisle Construction Materials.<\/p>\n

Duncan will take on much of the day-to-day activities working with Adrian on the strategic development<\/a> plans.<\/p>\n

Building PermaGroup’s roofing connections in the south<\/h3>\n

Duncan said: \u201cI\u2019ve known of PermaGroup for many years and have always admired the business and Adrian\u2019s vision for it. For me, now is the perfect time to take on this new challenge at a business that I really believe in. I just love roofing and have been passionate about it my entire career, but I\u2019m equally excited to expand my knowledge to the other areas of the business including modular builds and fencing \u2013 I can see real opportunities to grow the group as a whole.\u201d<\/p>\n

Duncan added: \u201cWith me being based in the south, I\u2019ve got fantastic connections that can further expand PermaGroup\u2019s presence down here and into London. Adrian and I already have ambitious plans that we can\u2019t wait to action but for me, it starts internally.<\/p>\n

\u201cCompany culture is hugely important, and I\u2019m eager to implement things that improve on what Adrian has already established across the group. Of course, no company growth can happen unless the employees and clients are brought on the journey too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Duncan Kirkwood’s appointment is part of PermaGroup’s ambitious plans<\/h3>\n

PermaGroup has plans to extend its products, services and training capabilities, with its successful PermaRoof Registered Installer Scheme potentially rolling out across other facets of the business.<\/p>\n

Adrian said: \u201cWelcoming Duncan to the team is exactly the right move for us to take the next steps as a business. We both have the best interests of PermaGroup in mind, not just for the investors but for our team and clients too and we\u2019re excited to unlock the business\u2019 full potential.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s fantastic to have Duncan\u2019s expertise and a fresh pair of eyes on the PermaGroup, ready to drive it forward and I\u2019m eager for us to start working together.\u201d<\/p>\n
