Gerry Gallacher has joined Sisk as Commercial Manager for the Scotland region and brings 25 years of experience, most recently holding the post of Infrastructure Development Director for Lend Lease on the completed £200m Olympic Village infrastructure works.

He has also held Director level roles at Skanska and Balfour Beatty. Gerry will support Gavin in new business development and management of existing client relationships in the region.

Gavin Currie, Scotland Area Manager, Sisk said: “The Scotland region is a real area of recent growth for Sisk and in the three months since the office has opened, it has benefited from leveraging the expertise and capability within Sisk from the rest of the UK and Ireland. It is a great opportunity to join the company at a time of significant growth in the UK and I look forward to securing further contracts in our areas of core competence.”

Gerry Gallacher, Scotland Commercial Manager, Sisk said: “As Sisk continues to drive the business into Scotland, I am excited about being a part of this region, which I believe holds considerable opportunity for growth in the coming years.”
