UK contractor Keanes has appointed George Mackey to its board of directors.

George MackeyDemolition veteran George Mackey, who was previously on the board of Wembley-based demolition specialist McGee, will play a crucial role in developing Keanes’ demolition business as the industry begins to emerge from recession, said managing director David Keane.

“George is very highly respected within the demolition industry where he’s known especially for his estimating skills. He’s worked on some major projects, including the demolition of the old Wembley Stadium,” Keane says. “Like all sectors of the construction industry, demolition took a nose-dive in late 2008. Everybody’s now working hard to win work and build the industry back up. We’re determined to ensure that we remain ahead of the game, and George has a central role in helping us do that”, he continued.

“Keanes has been in demolition for a long time and has a lot of satisfied customers. It is my job now to help build up this side of the business and bring in some new clients,” Mackey concludes. “I look forward to my new role; I’m working with an excellent team and I have every confidence that we can increase turnover in the demolition sector.”
