Specialist main contractor RED Construction Group has made two strategic senior appointments to support the business through its next stage of growth.
The company has appointed Alastair Gordon-Stewart as its first full-time group finance director and Michael Walsh has been hired as a strategic director.
Gordon-Stewart has more than 30 years of experience in the construction and property development sectors and spent 12 years in senior finance leadership roles at Kier Group.
In his new role, Walsh will focus on strengthening RED’s market presence and strategic positioning in the hospitality industry.
Graham Sturge, CEO of RED Construction Group, said: “These appointments are an important milestone in the evolution of RED Construction Group. As we enter our second decade, our focus is firmly on sustainable growth as a settled and mature business. Welcoming Alastair as our first full-time group finance director strengthens our financial governance and provides the robust platform required to support long-term stability.
“At the same time, Michael’s appointment enhances our ability to deepen relationships and create new opportunities in hospitality, an area where we have already demonstrated our ability to deliver quality projects. These strategic hires ensure we are well-positioned for the next stage of growth while remaining true to the values that have underpinned our success to date.”
Gordon-Stewart added: “The RED brand has grown into a well-recognised and respected name across its chosen markets, built on strong relationships, consistent delivery, and a clear strategic vision. Having over three decades of financial experience in the construction industry, I am looking forward to further enhancing the company’s financial management to support RED’s continued growth, ultimately contributing to what is already a compelling success story.”
Walsh said: “In construction, particularly within the luxury hospitality and hotel sector, reputation is everything. RED has built its name on relationships, integrity, and trust, consistently delivering. The opportunity to help further develop RED’s presence in this sector, by strengthening its reputation, and creating new successes across the luxury hospitality landscape, is one I am eager to pursue.”
