John Hepburn

Mr Hepburn, who has been the Scotland region commercial director at McConnell since November 2021, is an integral and influential part of the management team and this is a natural step up for him.

Chairman, Rob McGregor, said: “Since we took over McConnell in 2018, our revenue in Scotland has increased from £11 million to over £40m.

“Promoting John to regional director, ensures we maintain a regional focus in Scotland, as the McConnell business continues to grow its presence there and in England.”

Mr Hepburn said: “I’m excited to be taking on the responsibility for leading our Scotland region.

“We have an amazing team of people and a fantastic culture, and I’m looking forward to building on the transformative success that we’ve enjoyed since Eamonn and Rob took over the company in 2018.”

Eamonn McGarvey, managing director, added: “I’m delighted for John. He’s an impressive young leader with fresh ideas, and the team are fully behind him.

“There are great opportunities for further growth in Scotland, and John has the experience, leadership skills, and a great regional team, to help us capitalise on them.”
