Keith Machray has been appointed as the new Managing Director for Morrison Construction Building North East, succeeding the retiring Mike Bruce.
Keith has been with the business since 1990 and joined the senior leadership team in 2010 as Preconstruction Manager after a series of both commercial and operational roles. His experience spans all sectors and covers both new build & refurbishment projects.
He succeeds Mike who joined Morrison Construction in 1986 as an apprentice, and has served the business for his entire career within the industry. During his time with the Group, Morrison Construction Building North East has grown from being a local builder with offices in the Highlands and North East to becoming part of one of the UK’s leading Tier 1 contractors as part of the Galliford Try group.
Cliff Wheatley, Managing Director of Galliford Try’s Building division, commented: “I am delighted to be able to announce the appointment of Keith Machray to succeed Mike Bruce, demonstrating our commitment to developing our people from within.
“I am sure he will build on the fantastic work that Mike has undertaken over the years, establishing Morrison Construction as a key contractor within the region. We thank him for his long service and wish him well in his retirement.”
