Phil will be replacing John Gittins in the MD – building north role, as John moves into a central role, providing support and assistance in the leadership and development of the national construction business.

Craig Tatton, chief operating officer at Tilbury Douglas, said, “I would like to congratulate Phil and John on their new roles and welcome Martin to the business. I look forward to our continued success in the north west and the north as we further grow our presence nationwide in the future.”
