I enjoy a challenge and finding solutions to any problems which may be encountered in an operational environment within the construction industry.”
KR Group’s Business Director, Nicola Fraser, added: “Stuart is well-known and respected within the construction industry. He seamlessly manages to juggle commercial management with site-based activity, which is a very welcome blend of skills here at KR Group.
