A new Chief Executive has been appointed at hub South West Scotland.

Michael Ross is to take up the role at the public-private partnership of local authorities, NHS, blue light services and a number of leading construction industry contractors.

Michael replaces Michael McBrearty who announced earlier this year that he intended to stand down from the role. As Operation Director spanning the last eight years with direct responsibility for the delivery of over £800m of infrastructure projects, he possesses the requisite skills and experience to step up and his appointment will ensure a smooth transition providing the desired continuity for the business going forward.

Michael previously worked for BAM PPP UK Ltd in development and delivery roles and has over 20 years construction industry experience.

He said: "I am delighted and honoured to be chosen to succeed Michael McBrearty as Chief Executive with whom I have worked closely over the last eight years.

"I see the key drivers for hub South West moving into the next chapter as Quality, Sustainability, Partnership and Social Value, thereby building on our already excellent reputation for delivering diverse, top quality projects that create a host of opportunities for the local economy and communities with which we work."
