Alan Downie, CALA Group Managing Director, who has been the Scottish Chairman for the past ten years, said that the changes in the Scottish management team reflected an increased market focus in Scotland. They also mirrored the company’s new structure in England where a national Chairman has been appointed to lead the group’s three regional companies in Yorkshire, Midlands and the South.
“I am particularly pleased that all of the appointments are promotions from within the company. Developing our next generation of managers and directors is very important to us because our success is founded on a business culture and a work ethic which are quite distinctive to CALA.
“Scotland remains a very important market for us; we have an extensive land bank and we have been expanding across the country. We have become well established in the west of Scotland, we remain very strong in the east and we want to put a special focus on growth in the north”.
Geoff Ball, Executive Chairman of CALA Group will continue to be actively involved across the UK from the Group’s head office in Edinburgh.
