The appointment harmonises ISG’s northern leadership structure, with Paul joining Tim Harvey and Paul Munro as directors of the three businesses that comprise ISG’s construction north and Scotland operations. 

The news comes with ISG set to announce record turnover figures for 2018 and ambitious growth targets for 2019 and beyond.

Alongside Scotland, ISG’s northeast and northwest businesses are expected to report record financial performance for 2018 – with combined revenues of circa £200 million. 

Paul has been an integral part of the Scottish business from its inception, over seven years ago, and is a highly accomplished leader with strong relationships forged over a professional career spanning 20 years. 

As the most high-profile and successful contractor in Edinburgh, and with numerous key-note schemes in Glasgow and the Central Belt, Paul will look to further extend the profile and influence of ISG in Scotland in core sectors, including offices, hospitality and leisure, education and industrial.    

Andy McLinden, ISG’s UK construction north and Scotland managing director, said: “Our Scottish business continues to thrive and I’m delighted that Paul will be stepping up to lead our outstanding team to even greater levels of success. 

“Paul is an exceptionally talented professional with an absolute focus on high-quality customer outcomes and I’m confident that his drive and determination will support our sustainable and planned growth strategy.” 

Paul Beaton added: “We have built a strong business in Scotland and I am extremely proud of our prominent profile established on a reputation for delivery excellence. 

“Forging longstanding relationships with repeat customers through consistent, meticulous delivery is the cornerstone of our business.

“The quality of our people and our team approach has ensured great opportunity for growth. 

“We have a clear vision for the future and I’m delighted to be leading our team with such exciting times ahead of us.”
