Michael Collins will be stepping down as Commercial Director.

Since joining McGee earlier this year, Michael has been a part of some exciting contract signings for our business, including a major data centre project and securing further works at McGee’s on-going Heathrow project.

Michael says:

“Joining McGee represented an exciting opportunity for me and quite a change in direction. During my time with McGee, I’ve met with many talented and committed colleagues across the business.

However, the difficult and lengthy commute has made me question the sustainability of that decision.

Following open and constructive conversations with Bernard, we’ve agreed this is the right time for the company and I to move in different directions. I leave with great respect for the organisation, the people in it and I wish the business every success in its future endeavours.”

Paul Maguire, a familiar face in the business will take on the position of interim Commercial Director.

Paul’s wealth of experience and familiarity with the business will be crucial while the Board carry out a thorough search for a permanent successor.

Bernard O’Reilly, our Managing Director says:

“I’d like to thank Michael Collins for his hard work in leading our Commercial team.

His dedication to his team and the business during his time with us is greatly appreciated and has contributed to some excellent progress as we navigate a tough market. On behalf of the Board and our employee-owners I’d like to wish him and his family all the best for the future”.
