Springfield Group elevates two to managing director
Andrew Curran and Kieran Graham have been promoted to managing director positions within the Springfield Group.
Mr Curran steps into the position of managing director (central) and will oversee operations across multiple brands, including Springfield Properties, Dawn Homes, Walker Group, and Mactaggart & Mickel Homes.
Mr Graham, formerly commercial director at Tulloch Homes, becomes managing director at the Highland housebuilder, focusing on upcoming developments and community engagement.
Mr Curran, who has nearly 10 years of experience with Springfield Properties, was last regional operations director for central (private). He also has 11 years’ experience with UK-wide builders including McCarthy Stone and Persimmon.
Meanwhile, Mr Graham has extensive experience in the housebuilding sector in the Highlands. He has previously worked for Stewart Milne Group in Aberdeen and Robertson Homes in Inverness. He joined Tulloch in 2020.
The two promotions bolster the Springfield Groups’ management structure and support acceleration of its growth strategy, with the new Managing Directors responsible for overseeing all disciplines and operations for their respective divisions.
Mr Curran initially joined Springfield Properties in 2011 as a quantity surveyor and has swiftly risen through the ranks. With experience in both the commercial and operational divisions, he has been instrumental in growing the company in size and reputation.
His new role will see Mr Curran lead on all disciplines across the group’s brands, encompassing developments from Blairgowrie to Doonfoot.
This includes delivering the new Durieshill development in Stirling, which has seen Springfield and Barratt Developments enter a partnership to deliver the multi-million-pound project for 3,000 private and affordable homes, alongside essential amenities such as new schools, local shops, and business opportunities.
He said: “Training and progression is highly valued at Springfield. I started my career many years ago as a quantity surveyor and my promotion to managing director (central) is testament to the company’s commitment to employee development and excellence.
“I’m proud of the high specification we offer our customers across all of the brands within the group combined with our focus on customer service, which ensures that we can deliver quality homes in key communities across Scotland. I’m excited to work closely with my colleagues to ensure Springfield’s success for many more years to come.”
Mr Graham steps into the new role as the Highland housebuilder approaches 100 years of business. Taking the reins from Sandy Grant, who recently retired as managing director after 21 years with the business, Mr Graham will oversee all live sites while leading the delivery of upcoming developments such as Spey Green in Newtonmore and Parks View in Inverness.
He said: “Tulloch Homes has a longstanding legacy as the largest housebuilder across Inverness and the Highlands. It is widely recognised for its commitment to high quality, energy efficient homes and, most importantly, the loyalty of our customers.
“Involving the communities in the areas where we build is essential to our success. Engaging local voices and businesses ensures our developments are reflective of their needs and create spaces that truly feel like home.
“With many upcoming community events in the calendar, I’m looking forward to speaking to future customers as we continue to deliver high quality homes across the north of Scotland.”
Springfield Group chief executive Innes Smith said: “It’s an exciting time across the Springfield Group with many new developments in the pipeline such as the recently approved Conon Bridge development, delivered in partnership with the Highland Council, to support the Cromarty Firth Green Freeport.
“There’s also the long awaited Durieshill development which we’ve collaborated with Barratt on to accelerate its delivery.
“These appointments highlight the great pride we take in training and developing our highly skilled workforce.
“We’ve been impressed with both Kieran and Andrews’ knowledge and dedication to the housebuilding industry, and I have no doubt their expertise will be invaluable as we continue to drive growth and innovation across the Springfield Group.”
