Mr John Murphy has been appointed the new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of J. Murphy & Sons Limited.
He will take over from Steve Hollingshead who will step down from the post in December.
Mr Hollingshead will take up a role as non-executive director on the company's board.
Alastair Kerr, Murphy's Chairman, said: "It is with great pleasure that we welcome John’s step up into the role of CEO. He takes over the reins at an exciting time for Murphy, where we have a clear long-term plan for where we are going and what we want to deliver. As well as an understanding of the company’s history, John has experience and knowledge of Murphy’s people and values, which will be instrumental for us as we go forward and deliver our growth plan."
Mr Murphy said: "Murphy is well-known in the construction industry and I want us to continue to grow and thrive, ensuring that we continue to play a vital role in delivering world-class infrastructure. To be at the helm of a company that is leading the way in innovation and engineering – a company my grandfather began more than 60 years ago – is a real honour, and I can't wait to get started."
