Continuing with its drive to scale up the business, McGoff Construction Limited has appointed two new operations directors - Rob Duxbury and Jon Bishop.

 Rob and Jon will be responsible for the successful delivery of multiple projects predominantly in the residential, healthcare and education (early years) sectors.

Working together, they will report into Dean Johnston, group managing director at McGoff Construction Services, on all projects, whether they are for the McGoff Group directly or a JV agreement.

 Rob, who lives in Higher Wheelton, near Chorley, has worked in construction for over 24 years, is new to McGoff, having held various senior roles with development and main contracting businesses previously.

 In his new role, Rob hopes to contribute to the overall success of the business, both short and long term strategies, as well as develop strong delivery teams within the Group.

 He 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 worked for McGoff Construction for over 10 years, has been promoted to operations director.

Dean 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 and I wish them both well in their new roles.”

 Away from work, Rob is a fan of outdoor activities, such as road biking when the weather allows, and spending time with his partner and two children. Jon enjoys spending time with his family, as well as playing and watching rugby union.

 McGoff Construction Limited is part of the McGoff Group, a £150m collection of like-minded construction businesses based in Altrincham and focused predominantly on the delivery of new build developments in the healthcare, residential and commercial sectors.

 Driven by second generation family values, innovation, excellence and operational expertise, the McGoff Group has a seamless ability to acquire, design, build, operate and maintain making it the favoured choice for clients, funders, joint venture partners and supply chain partners alike.  For further information, please visit www.mcgoffgroup.com.
