BAM Construct UK has announced that board member, Richard Bailey, is leaving the company after a career spanning 39 years with BAM. As he turns 60, Richard feels the time is right to change his life balance and pursue other interests outside of BAM.
Douglas Keillor, currently regional director of BAM Construction in Scotland, has been appointed to fill the ensuing vacancy on the board of BAM Construct UK.



“Richard Bailey joined the company in 1977 and rose steadily through construction management becoming regional director of BAM Construction in Western in 1995. In 2007, Richard was appointed to the board of BAM Construct UK.

“In all of these roles Richard has been a tremendous supporter of people and he has been a pioneer of countless new ideas from developing sustainability to Zero Harm to lean to collaboration.

“Many people in the company regard Richard as a friend and mentor and he will be missed by all. I want to take this opportunity to thank Richard for giving so generously to the company, especially since 2007 when he has travelled the length and breadth of the regions, barely seeing home from a Monday to a Friday.”
