Throughout his previous tenure, Ian has played an instrumental role in the delivery of many high-profile projects within the region, including the £24m Inverness Justice Centre, the £60m single living accommodation project at Royal Air Force (RAF) Lossiemouth and developments at The MacAllan.

Speaking of his appointment, Ian said: "Robertson Construction Northern is a successful business with a strong customer base and an excellent team.
