HFD's construction division has a proven track record of delivering over three million square feet of commercial property. The company's commitment to sustainability and innovation is evident in every project, from office and industrial spaces to retail developments.

Chris McGhee said: "I've watched and admired HFD from afar throughout my career, so it's great to have the chance to work with such an innovative company with a market-leading offering. My experience spans a range of projects for a mix of clients but underpinning all is the commitment to adding value and maintaining the highest quality throughout aspects of energy efficiency, technology, and design. The diversity of HFD's business will also open up new opportunities in areas such as renewables and IT and data, and I'm looking forward to working closely with William and the rest of the team."
