Martin completed projects on behalf of customers such as Stanhope, The Crown Estate and Grosvenor, including the refurbishment and upgrade of the Ritz Hotel, the delivery of The Peninsula Hotel – London’s first 6-star hotel – as well as the upgrade of the historic Selfridges building and the delivery of Colchester Garrison.

Vince Lydon, Managing Director for Construction Management and Specialist Projects at McLaren Construction, comments, “The division has been growing significantly over the past 12 months due to increased demand from customers for Construction Management services on complex buildings and infrastructure. Martin’s experience will help us ensure that quality, safety and innovation continue to be applied consistently throughout the projects that we’re building and that we work collaboratively with our customers to achieve the best outcomes.”

McLaren Construction’s Construction Management and Specialist Projects division is currently delivering Cardiff Arena on behalf of Live Nation and Cardiff City Council, a three-year framework agreement to deliver key support and accommodation facilities for Sizewell C and refurbishment of Colmore Gate, an iconic office tower in Birmingham.

Martin Ewing, comments, “McLaren has significantly invested in technology, quality and safety practices which are key to successful Construction Management delivery. Major projects are increasingly cost sensitive and an early, collaborative engagement with the client is vital in achieving a timely, successful completion of buildings and infrastructure. I look forward to working with Vince and the team to continue to grow McLaren’s Construction Management offering.”
