Contractor Clegg Construction has strengthened its board with the promotion of Dan Manley to commercial director.

Dan, who joined the business in July 2021, had been internally responsible for managing the commercial department, and now formally takes over the board-level commercial and risk management duties within the business.

Working alongside pre-construction director, Ross Crowcroft, and operations director, Darren Chapman, and reporting to managing director, Michael Sims, Dan will provide key input into business strategy and oversee system changes and improvements.

His role includes managing the surveying teams and resources - ensuring the Clegg Construction surveying team provides fair, accurate and real-time cost information to clients, and maintaining good relations with the company’s supply chain.

Managing director of Clegg Construction, Michael Sims, said:

“I am delighted to announce the appointment of Dan Manley as commercial director of Clegg Construction. His appointment strengthens our board team as we launch into 2025 with our newly refurbished offices and an encouraging pipeline of work across a range of different sectors, and spread throughout the East Midlands, Yorkshire and East Anglia."

“On behalf of the team at Clegg Construction, I would like to congratulate Dan on his new role and welcome him to the board.”

Dan has wide experience in main contracting, having worked in the past with the likes of GF Tomlinson and McLaren before joining Clegg Construction three and a half years ago.

Dan, who enjoys spending time with his children and following motor racing and football outside of work, said:

“I am very excited to be beginning the latest stage in my career with Clegg Construction. The company has a great reputation in the sector, and I am proud to have been appointed as commercial director, supporting my fellow directors as we look forward to the future.”
