Scott Murray has joined Harley Haddow as director in charge of its new South West operations. He brings more than 25 years鈥� experience in mechanical, electrical and public health (MEP) engineering, most of it with Hoare Lee. He has worked across heritage refurbishments, urban regeneration, large-scale residential masterplans and commercial developments across the UK.
He will be based in the firm鈥檚 new Bristol office, which is regarded as a key pillar in Harley Haddow鈥檚 expansion plans. Founded in 1950 in Scotland, the business also has offices in London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Fort William and Inverness.
Murray said: 鈥淏ristol is a city with a strong creative and sustainable identity that aligns closely with Harley Haddow鈥檚 values. Harley Haddow has clear ambitions for the future and this dynamism and forward-thinking mindset really matches that of the city and the South West business community.
鈥淥ne of the biggest challenges facing our industry is closing the gap between net zero ambition and deliverable action. That means simplifying processes, working more collaboratively and integrating digital tools in ways that support the commercial viability of projects. Those conversations need to happen early and that鈥檚 where we can help add real value for clients.
鈥淭he next property cycle in Bristol won鈥檛 just be about how much we build, but how well we adapt what already exists.鈥�
