Robertson Construction Yorkshire & East Midlands has announced two key leadership appointments, promoting Sean Woodcock to Operations Director and welcoming Ben Brown as Commercial Director.

The pair will play a pivotal role in driving the company's delivery of high-quality projects across a wide range of sectors, including commercial, education, healthcare, industrial, research and social care.

Sean Woodcock joined Robertson just a year ago as Operations Manager, bringing over two decades of experience in the construction industry. His previous roles include Project Director at Buckingham Group and Project Manager at Miller Construction.


Ben Brown joins Robertson from BAM, where he built an impressive 24-year career, rising from a Trainee Surveyor to Commercial Manager after completing an apprenticeship with Shepherd Construction.

Current projects under their oversight include the £19m Endoscopy Unit at Bradford Royal Infirmary, RAAC replacement works for Airedale Hospital, a £20m Extra Care Scheme in Cleckheaton, and a £10m Engineering & Life Sciences Facility at Chesterfield College.

Sean said: "Stepping into the role of Operations Director gives me the chance to build on the strong progress made in the past year. I’m looking forward to working closely with our customers, supply chain and wider team to continue to deliver high-quality projects across a range of sectors."

On taking up his role, Ben said: "I'm joining Robertson at an exciting time, with a strong pipeline, new projects underway, and an expanding portfolio of key customers. This opportunity is a great one and I look forward to building on this success."
