The operation will now offer combined brickwork and scaffolding services from its Glasgow base.

Billy Dolan has been appointed as Operations Manager of the new division bringing over 30 years of experience in the construction industry.

Dolan said: “We are extremely excited that we can now offer our clients a full package service of scaffolding and brickwork, as well as being flexible to offer them as standalone services.”

Commercial Manager Michael Carr added: “Billy is a great addition to our team in Scotland.  In the five years that we have been operational in Scotland it has been an ambition of mine to offer a masonry and scaffold solution that mirrors our set-up south of the border.

“Billy’s wealth of experience in this sector allows us to offer our customers the same high standard from a scaffold perspective that we have become known for through our masonry side of the Scottish business.”

From next month LMB will be working on several projects in Scotland that cover new build housing and social housing.

Projects include a scaffold and brick package for Morrisons on their Winchburgh schools project.

LMB Joint Managing Director Dan Clarkson said: “Having worked closely with Billy over a number of years it is great to have him join our team in Glasgow.

“His technical and safety knowledge is second to none and his appointment allows us to replicate the combined brickwork and scaffolding offering that has proved so successful in London and the South East.

“It will also allow us to offer scaffold only services to a wider range of clients on new-build, refurb and maintenance projects across the Central Belt”
