Andrew Beaumont joins McLaren Construction to head new team combining wide-ranging experience from ISG and Morgan Sindall
McLaren Construction has appointed Andrew Beaumont as a managing director to lead a new Yorkshire & North East division, extending the contractor's reach across the north of England.
Based in Leeds city centre, the new Yorkshire & North East division becomes McLaren Construction’s sixth, sitting side by side with five sister divisions: London & South, Regeneration, Construction Management & Specialist Projects, Midlands & North and International.
Andrew joins McLaren Construction from ISG, where he worked for 14 years, latterly as Regional Director for the North East and North West business units. Educated and subsequently based in Leeds, Andrew brings existing supply chain and client relationships, as well as experience in construction across both the private and public sectors.
Joining Andrew at McLaren Construction to run the new division are Regional Commercial Director David Faulkner and Regional Pre-Construction Director Richard Harding. David joined McLaren in November after a 19-year career at ISG’s Bradford office, ending in a role as a commercial manager. Richard joined McLaren in July after 10 years at Morgan Sindall, where he had become the Leeds-based Regional Pre-Construction Director for Yorkshire, North East and Cumbria. Both bring a wealth of experience across private and public sector projects and key relationships.
McLaren Construction's Chairman, Kevin Taylor, comments: "Based in Yorkshire, Andrew and the team give us the relationships we need to complete a strong national offer. His experience fits perfectly with McLaren Construction's existing expertise in a full range of residential, commercial and industrial sectors and our ambitions for more clients in living and leisure and places on more public sector frameworks."
Group CEO at McLaren Construction, Paul Heather, comments: “Andrew will be building a new team in the region, but one that follows McLaren’s culture, combining sector specialists with local connections and using early engagement to find the best value and most sustainable solutions to complex construction briefs.”
As McLaren Construction's new Managing Director – Yorkshire & North East, Andrew Beaumont, comments: "McLaren is a rising star of the construction sector and well established as a billion-pound challenger to remaining tier one contractors. It's a relatively small step to take the firm's expertise and offer it to those regenerating and investing in Yorkshire and the North East."
With its base in Leeds, McLaren Construction joins sister companies McLaren Property and McLaren Living, which already have a presence in the city and a portfolio of major projects in the region.
