Offsite construction specialists, The McAvoy Group, has expanded its board with the appointment of Martin O’Neill as contracts director
With 25 years’ experience in construction and civil engineering, Martin O’Neill brings a wide range of project delivery experience to his new role as contracts director.
He will be responsible for delivering offsite projects to high-quality standards, whilst meeting McAvoy’s stringent health and safety requirements on every site.

Collaborating with the group’s 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.
Mark Lowry, managing director of The McAvoy Group, said: “We 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.
“We 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.

He managed a full team of construction professionals, focusing on the delivery of every project on budget and to the required quality and specification.
High profile contracts that Martin has been involved in include the Edinburgh Tram extension and a series of major wind farm projects.
