Having worked for a spectrum of multi-national, national and local businesses over his career, Billy brings over 30 years of experience in the construction industry in a management position.

Billy said he is excited to be part of the company’s continued expansion plans and with the investment that LMB has put into the Scottish market, and has high hopes for the future. 

He said: “I am delighted to join the Lee Marley team in Scotland and to work alongside Michael Carr. We are extremely excited that we can now offer our clients a full package service of scaffolding and brickwork, as well as being flexible to offer them as standalone services.”

Michael Carr, commercial manager – Scotland, added: “Billy is a great addition to our team in Scotland.  In the five years that we have been operational in Scotland it has been an ambition of mine to offer a masonry and scaffold solution that mirrors our set-up south of the border.  Billy’s wealth of experience in this sector allows us to offer our customers the same high standard from a scaffold perspective that we have become known for through our masonry side of the Scottish business.”

In Scotland, LMB is working on many brickwork projects including:

• Edinburgh: Longstone, Edinburgh St James – Edinburgh, Springside, Dundee Street, Longniddry and Ropeworks 7
• Glasgow: New City Road, Clydebank Health Centre, Ropeworks 7 and Daragvel Primary 

As of next month, LMB will be working on several projects in Scotland that cover new build housing and social housing and has just secured work on a scaffold and brick package for Morrison Construction on its Winchburgh schools project.

LMB joint managing director Dan Clarkson said: “Having worked closely with Bill over a number of years it is great to have him join our team in Glasgow. His technical and safety knowledge is second to none and his appointment allows us to replicate the combined brickwork and scaffolding offering that has proved so successful in London and the South East. It will also allow us to offer scaffold only services to a wider range of clients on new-build, refurb and maintenance projects across the Central Belt.”
