He has over 40 years' experience in the industry and relationship building will be a key focus of his new role.

Darren said: "I thrive on the 'team building' aspect of my role by means of listening, nurturing and encouraging all team members to take full ownership for their roles, which ultimately allows them to grow and develop, whilst allowing me to build professional and high performing teams."

Finally, Adam Craven will lead and oversee the commercial function within the regional business. Bringing over 22 years' experience to the role, his position will include ensuring that consistent commercial performance is delivered across the board within the commercial team, at both pre-construction and delivery stages.

Adam will provide commercial and management support to the Regional Director to ensure that the financial performance of the region meets and exceeds profitability targets, as well as supporting the Group Commercial Director in all commercial activities across the region and wider business.

Adam said: "Whilst the business has already demonstrated its success and resilience over many years, what really appealed to me and differentiates McLaren Construction Midlands & North was the empowerment given to me to influence and make a meaningful difference to an already successful business, as we seek those marginal improvements which will make all the difference."

Gary Cramp, Managing Director at McLaren Construction Midlands and North, added: "We are pleased to welcome Luke, Darren and Adam into their respective roles and are confident that their expertise and capabilities will drive the positive change we are spearheading, as part of the division's growth strategy."
