Offsite construction specialists, The McAvoy Group<\/a>, has expanded its board with the appointment of Martin O\u2019Neill as contracts director<\/h2>\n

With 25 years\u2019 experience in construction and civil engineering, Martin O\u2019Neill brings a wide range of project delivery experience to his new role as contracts director.<\/p>\n

He will be responsible for delivering offsite projects<\/a> to high-quality standards, whilst meeting McAvoy\u2019s stringent health and safety requirements on every site.<\/p>\n

He will also work at the initial design and procurement stages of a project and will lead site operations to handover and post-completion.<\/p>\n

Collaborating with the group\u2019s business development, commercial and manufacturing teams will be a key aspect of his role as contracts director, giving clients the benefit of a fully seamless approach.<\/p>\n

Mark Lowry, managing director of The McAvoy Group, said: \u201cWe are continuing to grow and develop the McAvoy business, which in turn means strengthening the team with the best possible talent who share our vision.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to be welcoming Martin to the Board. His experience, knowledge and expertise will be invaluable in driving the Group forward across a range of sectors.<\/p>\n

\u201cMartin has the right combination of wide-ranging delivery experience and a dedication to quality, and health and safety. This will ensure our extensive pipeline of work, particularly in the education, infrastructure and healthcare sectors, continues to be delivered to the very highest standards.\u201d<\/p>\n

O\u2019Neill was previously regional director for Scotland and Northern England at Farrans Construction<\/a> where he was responsible for around \u00a3100m of projects each year. He managed a full team of construction professionals, focusing on the delivery of every project on budget and to the required quality and specification.<\/p>\n

High profile contracts that Martin has been involved in include the Edinburgh Tram extension<\/a> and a series of major wind farm projects.<\/p>\n
