Speller Metcalfe Appoints New Managing Director

Speller Metcalfe has appointed Des O'Neill as its new Managing Director (MD).

Previously, he was Director of the Construction Division at the company.

The position will see Mr O'Neill move towards managing both the contractor's Malvern and Wolverhampton operations.

Steve Speller, Joint Group MD, said: "Over the last 18 months the Directors have been working together to enable a more efficient crossover of resources between our regional teams.


"This strategy has driven benefits both in terms of efficiency, but has also provided opportunities for staff development. Following continued growth and success of our Wolverhampton base, Des has become increasingly engaged in the management decision process at Malvern, gradually taking ownership of broader responsibilities."

The move follows Tony Shaw's departure as the previous MD, who following partial retirement in 2014 stepped into the role of Pre-Construction Director.
