Dunn heads Miller in Scotland

Miller Construction has appointed industry veteran Charlie Dunn as managing director of its Scottish operations.

Dunn, who spent 32 years at Bam Construction before joining Hull-based engineering firm Spencer as commercial director in February, takes up his new role on 5 November.

Chief executive Chris Webster said: “Scotland is an important region for our business and I have every confidence that Charlie will be instrumental in delivering our services as we progress with our strategy of providing end-to-end services for our clients across the UK.”

Edinburgh-based Miller posted turnover of £238.6 million last year and has set itself the target of growing that to £600m by 2015.

The firm secured orders worth £320m during the first half of this year, bringing its total order book to £805m – an increase of 34 per cent since 2011.
