Paisley contractor announces hat-trick of new appointments

PAISLEY-based construction firm The JR Group has confirmed a trio of new hires across various roles within the business.

George Bunch joins as a new health, safety, environment & quality advisor, while both David Crosbie and Robbie Drummond have been appointed site managers.

George Bunch has more than four decades of sector experience. He will support colleagues across various sites, monitoring HSEQ compliance, developing and delivering training and inductions for the team, and ensuring all health and safety plans are up-to-date.

Taking the lead at the newly launched Hawick developments is David Crosbie, who joins The JR Group team as a site manager offering the same level of experience in the industry as George. Together with his expertise and knowledge of the local area, the business said David has strong ambitions to achieve the best results for the project, which is The JR Group’s first partnership with the Scottish Borders Housing Association (SBHA).

Driving forward the firm’s Croftamie development will be Robbie Drummond, leading the team at the rural Stirlingshire development on behalf of Rural Stirlingshire Housing Association (RSHA). Starting out as a bricklayer more than 20 years ago, and now with more than ten years’ experience in building management, Robbie will be responsible for the delivery of the 14-unit project which broke ground at the end of 2023.

MD Gary McGregor said, “We have seen some fantastic, continued growth recently and through the appointment of George, Robbie and David, we’re hugely excited to see our business continue to build from strength to strength with their extensive level of experience that sits between them. As examples of some of the best in the business, it is great to welcome all of these fantastic new additions to The JR Group and we look forward to seeing what they bring to the team.”
