WINDOW and door specialist CR Smith has strengthened its leadership team with two experienced figures from Scotland’s construction and manufacturing industries.
Danny McArthur, formerly managing partner at Hardies Property & Construction Consultants, joins as director of commercial to lead the firm’s social housing and commercial activities.
Alistair Mercer, meanwhile, has been appointed director of manufacturing, bringing over a decade of leadership experience in manufacturing operations management. He will oversee the CR Smith manufacturing facility in Fife and drive process innovation and workforce development.
CR Smith, which designs, manufactures, and installs windows, doors, and home extensions, reported a 30% increase in revenues during the first quarter of this year, following several major contracts to upgrade social housing stock. As local authorities and housing associations implement plans to meet new sustainability standards, the business revealed it is increasingly being chosen as a trusted partner, building on more than 50 years of success in the private housing, commercial house builder, and public sector markets.
The addition of Danny and Alistair to the management team follows the recent appointments of Sharon Glass as director of finance and Michael Leggiero as director of IT.
Gerard Eadie, chairman of CR Smith, said, “The appointments of Danny and Alistair mark a significant step in our growth strategy. Both bring exceptional expertise and proven track records in their respective fields, which will be instrumental as we scale our operations to meet growing demand from both the public and private sectors. Their leadership will strengthen our ability to deliver high-quality, energy-efficient solutions for our customers across Scotland.”
