Former ISG director joins McLaren Construction

Joining Beaumont to run the new division are regional commercial director David Faulkner and regional pre-construction director Richard Harding. 

Beaumont worked at ISG for 14 years, latterly as regional director for the North East and North West business units.  

He now takes up a role as a managing director of McLaren Construction’s new Yorkshire & North East division, alongside Faulkner and Harding. 

Faulkner joined McLaren in November after a 19-year career at ISG’s Bradford office, latterly as commercial manager.  

Harding joined 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. 

All three bring key client relationships with them as well as a wealth of experience across private and public sector projects. 

The new Yorkshire & North East division is McLaren Construction’s sixth business unit, alongside London & South, Regeneration, Construction Management & Specialist Projects, Midlands & North and International. 

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. 

“McLaren is a rising star of the construction sector and well established as a billion-pound challenger to remaining tier one contractors,” said Beaumont.  

“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.” 

McLaren Construction group CEO, Paul Heather, added: “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.” 

McLaren Construction chairman, Kevin Taylor, said: “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.”
