McGoff Construction Appoints Two New Operations Directors

Construction News Image
McGoff Construction Limited has announced the appointment of Rob Duxbury and Jon Bishop as its new Operations Directors.

The pair will oversee the successful delivery of multiple projects, primarily in the residential, healthcare, and early years education sectors. They will report directly to Dean Johnston, Group Managing Director at McGoff Construction Services, on all projects, whether for the McGoff Group directly or under joint venture agreements.

Rob, who brings over 24 years of experience in construction, is new to McGoff, having previously held senior roles in development and main contracting businesses. In his new role, Rob aims to contribute to both the short and long-term strategies of the business, as well as develop strong delivery teams within the Group.

Rob said: "McGoff Construction is a highly regarded and well-respected company, which is why I was initially attracted to it. Part of the McGoff Group, the overall business model of self-delivery, from land acquisition to practical completion and operations, was a huge draw for me too, as it really is a unique offering and ensures McGoff Construction is one of the best development-led contractors in the country."

Jon, who has been with McGoff Construction for over 10 years, has been promoted to Operations Director. Having previously held roles as Project Manager and Contract Manager, Jon now leads the operations team, working closely with the design team, contractors, and other members of the business to ensure projects are delivered to the highest standards.

Jon said: "The McGoff Group has grown substantially over the course of the last 10 years, as such, I have been able to further my career and develop my skill set. I have adopted the method of self-delivery and have gained valuable experience across all areas.

"With so many incredibly experienced and talented people within the business, from offsite light gauge steel framing solutions and drylining installations with Panacea Building Systems to electrical installations at Edencroft Building Services, I am continually learning and improving, becoming better at what I do, which is what I am most passionate about."

Dean Johnston, Group Managing Director, said: "The expertise that both Rob and Jon have amassed during their careers is superb, and they really complement each other, so working together as Operations Directors made sense. Together, they will elevate the delivery process of all projects, which will only serve to enhance McGoff Construction's enviable reputation even further.

"We carried out a rigorous six-month recruitment process for these prestigious positions and had more than 70 applicants, so it is testament to the knowledge and expertise of both Jon and Rob that they have been selected. I wish them both well in their new roles."
