Colin Courtney has been appointed Strategy and Business Development Director at J. Murphy & Sons Limited to ensure Murphy remains at the forefront of the UK construction and civil engineering industry.

Responsible for the business development strategy, Colin will utilise his extensive experience across the UK and international construction markets to reinforce the company’s position in existing markets and lead the expansion into new adjacent markets.


Previously Business Development & Strategy Director at Skanska, Colin has held a number of senior strategic development positions both in the private and public sector.

Colin said: "The depth and breadth of expertise and experience within the business must be one of construction's best kept secrets. I am delighted now to be in a position to match this capability with the challenges and opportunities facing our industry, not least the need to innovate in delivering cost-effective and sustainable solutions."
