North-east firm Bancon Group said yesterday it had appointed “highly experienced” commercial development specialist Gavin Currie as managing director of its construction business.
Mr Currie is currently commercial construction director for housebuilder Dandara in Aberdeen and will succeed George Parsons, who is retiring from his post after 12 years with Crathes-based Bancon
With 24 years’ construction experience behind him, Mr Currie has been involved in the delivery of major projects across the UK for contractors including Laing, Jarvis, Lilley and Miller Construction.
He was retail project manager for the Millennium Dome in London, construction manager at Dynamic Earth, Edinburgh, and project director on the Elements shopping centre, Livingston.
Bancon chief executive John Irvine said: “With a wealth of experience, particularly on projects of national significance, Gavin is an excellent appointment for our construction business.”
