Fraser will oversee CHAP’s Construction and Civils production operations and will play a key role in the delivery of CHAP’s growth plans.

Hugh Craigie, CHAP’s managing director, said: “Fraser is a ‘well-kent’ face in the north-east construction sector having successfully overseen many large and complex projects both locally and further afield. His in-depth market and construction knowledge combined with his drive and commercial focus will undoubtedly help accelerate CHAP’s development over the coming months and years ahead.”

Fraser is the first of a number of upcoming key senior appointments for CHAP which will be announced in the coming months.

Commenting on his new role, Fraser added: “I am excited to be joining a well-established and respected firm like CHAP, especially as it embarks on what I am sure will be an exciting new chapter in its history.”
