Caddick adds to senior team
Based between its Wakefield and Durham offices, Mark Kearney will head up the commercial functions of the construction group’s sub-contracting businesses, CCL Facades and Caddick Civil Engineering.
Appointed as commercial director, Kearney will provide commercial support to the two established businesses, working with the respective managing directors to ensure CCL Facades and Caddick Civil Engineering are well positioned for growth.
Although based in Yorkshire and the North East, he will also operate across the North West and Midlands regions.
Durham-native Kearney joins Caddick from Wates, where he was commercial director North, overseeing a team of around 100 staff for the construction and residential business.
Prior to that, he has spent his 30-year career working in a variety of commercial roles at Keepmoat and Engie following its acquisition in 2017.
Kearney said: “CCL Facades and Caddick Civil Engineering both have strong and diverse portfolios, and my focus will be on creating greater efficiencies and stronger collaboration to support the growth strategies of both businesses.
“By looking closely at key opportunities, internal efficiencies, and the systems and processes that underpin our operations, we can ensure we are ready to expand sustainably, increase turnover, and provide an even better service for our clients.
“Optimising how we work together, through a clear strategic customer plan and closer alignment with our Managing Directors and their teams, will be key to delivering a successful growth strategy, both internally and with our external clients.”
Neil Trubshaw, commercial director at Caddick Construction Group, added: “Mark’s appointment is a significant step for Caddick.
“His remit will play a central role in ensuring that CCL Facades and Caddick Civil Engineering grow sustainably, with the right structures, processes and collaboration in place to support that ambition.
“By strengthening our internal alignment and optimising our work-winning strategy, Mark will help us build on our strong foundations and position our sub-contracting businesses for long-term, sustainable success.”
