Following the retirement of Frank Reid after 43 years of service, Ian Phillips has become the Regional Managing Director of Robertson Construction Northern. With over three decades of experience in the industry, Ian’s appointment comes six years after joining the business as operations director.

Speaking of his appointment, Ian said: "Robertson Construction Northern is a successful business with a strong customer base and an excellent team. I’m taking on this role at an exciting time for our sector when we are working with our customers to deliver quality projects, while helping them achieve their own net zero targets through decarbonisation and new build programmes. The built environment makes a significant contribution to the regional economy, and we will continue to ensure that we are at the fore of innovation, digital technology, and modern methods of construction.

"Alongside the ongoing satisfaction of our customers, my number one priority is the health and wellbeing of everyone associated with our business."
