Clegg Construction has added to its board with the promotion of its new commercial director.
Dan Manley joined the Nottingham-based contractor in 2021, initially responsible for managing the commercial department.
He now takes over the board-level commercial and risk management duties within the business.
Manley will work alongside pre-construction director Ross Crowcroft and operations director Darren Chapman, and report to managing director Michael Sims.
In January last year, Clegg Construction’s former managing director Simon Blackburn announced his retirement after more than twenty in the position.
Manley’s role aims to provide key input into business strategy and oversee system changes and improvements, and manage the surveying teams and resources.
He has wide experience in main contracting, having worked in the past with GF Tomlinson and McLaren before joining Clegg Construction three and a half years ago.
In September, Clegg Construction edged back into profit after £3.1 million loss in 2022, with revenue for the year ended 31 December 2023 increasing seven per cent to £77 million (2022: £71 million).
Michael Sims, managing director at Clegg Construction, said “I am delighted to announce the appointment of Dan Manley as commercial director of Clegg Construction.
“His appointment strengthens our board team as we launch into 2025 with our newly refurbished offices and an encouraging pipeline of work across a range of different sectors, and spread throughout the East Midlands, Yorkshire and East Anglia.
“On behalf of the team at Clegg Construction, I would like to congratulate Dan on his new role and welcome him to the board.”
Manley said: “I am very excited to be beginning the latest stage in my career with Clegg Construction.
“The company has a great reputation in the sector, and I am proud to have been appointed as commercial director, supporting my fellow directors as we look forward to the future.”
