Aberdeenshire-based construction company Bancon Group has strengthened its senior team with the appointment of four new directors.
The hires come on the back of recent results, which revealed a 24% increase in turnover.
Senga Buntrock has joined from the energy sector, while Derek Wann, Ray Turner and Peter Barron have all been promoted to director roles in Deeside Timberframe and Bancon Construction.
As director of people, culture and organisational development, Buntrock will help the group attract, retain and develop people. She joins Bancon Group after more than 20 years’ experience as an HR professional in the energy sector.
Wann has been appointed commercial director at Deeside Timberframe, where he will oversee the estimating and sales functions.
Barron has been promoted to business development director at Bancon Construction, where he will now manage tenders and bids as well as building client relationships. He previously worked in the energy sector before moving into the construction industry, joining Bancon Construction in 2018 as a senior quantity surveyor.
Turner has been appointed framework director at Bancon Construction, bringing his industry experience over 17 years. He is currently responsible for delivery of the housing improvement programme for Aberdeenshire Council.
John Irvine, chief executive of Bancon Group, said: “We have seen a record year for sales of private houses across our key markets in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and the central belt, and have a strong forward order book for the coming months for Bancon Construction, while Deeside Timberframe has achieved a record turnover as a result of significant contract wins in both social and private housing.
“We plan to continue growing all our strategic, long-term sites across the country and have plans for further acquisitions in Scotland’s central belt.”
Established in 1975 and headquartered in Banchory, the group operates in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, the Highlands, Tayside and the central belt, employing more than 250 people.
Current construction sites include The Reserve at Maidencraig, Aspire and Kinion Place in Aberdeen, Lochside of Leys in Banchory, Aden Meadows in Mintlaw and Overton Gardens in Strathaven.
