Steve Hollingshead鈥檚 career also includes 25 years at O鈥橰ourke
Gallagher Group has named former Laing O鈥橰ourke and J Murphy big hitter Steve Hollingshead as a non-executive director with the Kent builder and civil engineer also turning to O鈥橰ourke for its new finance director.
Hollingshead was previously chief executive of north London-based J Muprhy before stepping down last December after just two and a half years in the role.
The 62 year old (pictured) joined Murphy back in June 2015 after more than 25 years working for Ray O鈥橰ourke 鈥� first at O鈥橰ourke鈥檚 concrete business and, following the firm鈥檚 takeover of Laing Construction in 2001, at Laing O鈥橰ourke where his time there included spells as the managing director of the firm鈥檚 infrastructure business and then heading up its Australia arm.
Hollingshead, who is now a non-executive director at Murphy, was replaced by the firm鈥檚 chief operating officer John Murphy, who is the grandson of the contractor鈥檚 founder.
Gallagher, which reported pre-tax profit of 拢7.3m on turnover of 拢60m in the year to September 2017, has also recruited Catherine Rossiter as finance director from Laing O鈥橰ourke where she is finance leader of the firm鈥檚 assets business arm.
