Clancy Construction has named Cormac Smith to its Board of Directors and appointed Tommy Drumm as Strategic Board Adviser, a position closely aligned to that of a Non-Executive Director.

The moves bolster the company's governance as it advances a five-year growth plan targeting turnover of €250 million, while maintaining high-quality delivery for clients across all markets.

Smith, who has more than 25 years' experience in construction, has spent the past three years at Clancy as an Associate Director. He has led complex programmes across healthcare, pharmaceutical, commercial and education projects.

A Project Management Professional and member of the Project Management Institute, Smith is recognised for his strategic leadership in project delivery. His industry service includes terms as President of the Master Builders and Contractors Association and Chairman of the Construction Industry Federation's Cork Branch. He also contributes to the CIF National Executive's Procurement, Tendering and Contractual Matters subcommittee.
