Munnelly Group Announces Transition With Chairman & CEO


Leading UK construction and infrastructure delivery partner, Munnelly Group, has announced that long-term CEO Phil Munnelly is to take on the role of Chairman and be replaced by COO Paul David Munnelly.

The leadership transition forms part of a continued commitment to ensuring stability, growth and exceptional value for clients across the hugely successful multi-brand business.

Having held the post of CEO for more than 40 years, Phil Munnelly’s new role as Chairman will enable him to continue in his capacity of supporting the leadership team and contribute to the strategic direction of the group.

Paul David Munnelly, COO for the last two-and-a-half years, has been instrumental in driving operational excellence and strategic growth, with his leadership and vision making him the ideal choice to step into the role of CEO and lead the business into the future.

Phil Munnelly said:

“Over the years, as the Group has grown and matured, we have established a strong leadership structure that allows for strategic oversight while empowering our leaders to execute and deliver positive results."

“This leadership evolution has enabled me to naturally transition into a more ambassadorial role, allowing me to focus on high-level strategic conversations and client engagements where my industry experience and network can add the most value."

“While my role is evolving, I remain fully committed to the continued success of Munnelly Group. I will stay actively involved in strategic decision-making and will be supporting Paul in his new position. I am very excited about this new chapter and look forward to continuing to contribute to the Group’s growth and success which has been the story so far.”

Paul David Munnelly, said:

“I am excited to be taking on this new role within the business and look forward to building on the success that we have experienced under the stewardship of Phil."

“These are exciting times for the Munnelly Group and by making these boardroom transitions, we are strengthening our core, strategic, leadership team even further so that we can continue to deliver excellent levels of service to our clients and partners.”

Established in 1982, the Munnelly Group Ltd has grown from a small family-owned construction company into a hugely successful multi-brand business leader with expertise in construction, security, rail, work-winning, recruitment and geospatial surveying.
