SCOTWOOD Interiors has announced the appointment of Chris Nugent as its new MD, following Doug Kerr’s retirement after 34 years at the commercial fit out specialist.
Chris has over 20 years’ experience as an MD within the constructions sector and has led and managed businesses of varying sizes. A graduate of the University of Glasgow in business management and economics, he is a fellow of the Chartered Institute of Building and has an MBA. He previously served in the RAF before moving into construction.
He will join existing directors, Jim Scott and John Taylor. Commenting on the appointment, Jim said, “After 34 years of a fantastic partnership with Doug, which has seen us navigate the highs and lows of running a business (thankfully more highs!), it’s the end of an era but a new one begins.
“I’m delighted to be welcoming Chris to Scotwood as MD. He shares our passion and vision to continue the outstanding success we have achieved over the years, which could not have been done without our loyal and hardworking team. I look forward to the next chapter.”
Chris commented, “I am delighted to be taking up my new role with the Scotwood team! Scotwood has built up an enviable reputation of delivering a great service through great people. I’m also well aware that a big part of Scotwood`s success has been building and maintaining great relationships with its customers. These are qualities that attracted me to Scotwood in the first place and I will be working hard to ensure that they remain for the next 60 years.”
