Ightham-based construction company O'Keefe has appointed a new managing director.

Marc Daly joins the firm after nine years at Cary civil engineering where he was head of delivery for principal contractors including Skanska, Balfour Beatty and Lendlease.

He was previously with Laing O'Rourke for nine years.

In his new role, at the firm near Sevenoaks, he will be responsible for the group’s four divisions – construction, demolition, remediation and Kent, where the group now has its purpose-built headquarters.

He said: “Running a business with multi-disciplinary services which offer clients seamless delivery from demolition and remediation through to frame delivery, but which can operate successfully in small, medium and large project environments, puts us in an enviable position in today’s marketplace.”
