A County Tyrone construction company has announced a new board of directors after becoming the first within the industry in Northern Ireland to transition to an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) model.

Omagh-based Adman Group made the announcement of new directors Fiona Woods, Mark Diffin, Nick McGirr, Gary Gallagher and Ryan Tierney amid significant business growth following the completion of its EOT deal in September.

Each of the new directors have previously served in senior management roles and bring with them a wealth of experience. They join company founders Martin Grimes and Adrian McCrory, who will retain a significant shareholding and remain in place as directors.

Since the EOT deal, Adman has been named as one of Scottish Power Energy Networks' preferred partners for its record £5.4bn supply chain contract programme which will drive the UK's largest-ever overhaul of the electricity grid.

Martin Grimes, Director at Adman Group, said: "The announcement of our new board of directors is the latest stage in the ongoing growth of Adman Group, with that upwards trajectory significantly enhanced by the transition to our innovative new ownership model in September.

"We were extremely proud to become one of the first Northern Ireland companies to complete an EOT transaction, a step that we considered crucial to our long-term strategy to future-proof the company and ensure all employees benefitted from business growth."

Martin continued: "Being named as one of Scottish Power Energy Networks' (SPEN) preferred partners for its record £5.4bn supply chain contract programme was a landmark development for the Group and a further endorsement of the positive impact our EOT model has had."

Adrian McCrory, Director at Adman Group, added: "We warmly welcome Fiona, Mark, Nick, Gary and Ryan to the board of directors, and look forward to them continuing to play an integral part as Adman Group continues to deliver value for our wide customer base."

Adman Group provides both 'construct only' and 'design and construct' services across a variety of sectors, with recent notable projects including the Civil Engineering contract for the 57.6 MW Moanvane Wind Farm in Co. Offaly, and the design and construction of new train station platforms at Derriaghy, Co. Antrim.
