“I am thrilled to welcome Pete as our new Managing Director to the DM team. Pete will bring some fantastic leadership skills to DM as well as a huge amount of experience in our industry. This is a key appointment in our ambitious growth plans, and we know Pete will strengthen our People-focused ONETEAM culture.

“Having spent most of my career working alongside developers, engineers and planners on complex infrastructure projects, I know how important it is to balance delivery, environmental responsibility, and stakeholder expectations. Dalcour Maclaren has a strong reputation for doing exactly that, and I’m looking forward to building on this alongside a highly experienced team, while continuing to put clients and landowners at the heart of everything we do.”
