Peter Allan comes to Overbury with a strong background in fit-out, refurbishments and frameworks, both client-side and with contractors.

Over a 24-year industry career, he has worked for some the country’s largest firms including Royal Bank of Scotland, Styles & Wood, Turner & Townsend and Lendlease.

Peter Knight, managing director of Overbury’s Scotland and North of England business, said: “Peter Allan is joining us to further strengthen our project delivery. We pride ourselves on ensuring our delivery and approach on site is second to none and Peter will help us to strengthen it.”

Born and raised in East Lothian, Allan began his career in Scotland, and said: “Although Manchester is very much my home now, it will be great to spend some time supporting the Overbury team in Glasgow, Manchester and Leeds.

“I’m looking forward to meeting up with old contacts across the Central Belt of Scotland.”
