Managing Director Designate Appointment

We are delighted to announce that we have appointed Michael Holmes as Managing Director Designate for Bethell Construction.

Michael joins the company on the 28th September 2020 and will take over the full MD role in due course from Vinny O’Dowd, when he steps down in late 2021/ early 2022 after 10 years at the helm.

Michael joins Bethell from Colas where he was Director of Regional Operations and responsible for a turnover of £120m. Michael has been recruited to compliment the strong skill set of our existing Senior Management team and will work closely with Chief Executive Tim Kilroe and Vinny O’Dowd to ensure a seamless transition.

Michael will initially establish a Yorkshire Office and work closely with our Highways division with an aspiration to significantly grow that part of the business.

Tim Kilroe, Chief Executive commented “I am personally looking forward to working with the senior management team to significantly drive the business forward over the coming years and, despite the short- term set backs caused by the COVID-19 virus, the Board are very optimistic about the future for Bethell”.
