“Moving into 2025 and beyond, we’re committed to further growing our regeneration portfolio in conjunction with our clients, using our experience in the housing industry to help local authorities and housing associations create better homes and communities for people, regenerate housing stock to ensure homes are decent and safe, and to help meet their net-zero targets,” said Dan.

“Durkan Regen gives us the structure and platform we need to deliver and to grow. I’m looking forward to spearheading Durkan’s investment in this area and supporting the business in its continued success.”

Ronan Murphy, CEO at Durkan, added: “Durkan Group has a wealth of experience in the regeneration sector, so the launch of Durkan Regen, is a natural next step on this journey. Dan’s appointment as Managing Director is a valuable addition to the Durkan team as we look to actively grow in the marketplace.

“He brings with him decades of experience that he will use to drive our business forward.”
