Cosmos Projects Group has made several new senior appointments and is on track to increase turnover to £14m by the end of the financial year.
Founder of the East Kilbride business, Chris McNeill, takes up the role of group chief executive.
Ian Smith, who has been with the company for eight years and sits on the board, has been promoted from commercial director to become managing director of Cosmos Projects - the core business, servicing design and build, maintenance and refurbishment contracts.
John Cummings, who has been general manager of subsidiary Planet Decorators since launch in 2020, has been promoted to director of that company.
A new flooring division has also been added to Cosmos Projects’ portfolio, headed up by William Black, and supported by Kirsty McCluskey, whose family formerly ran Donaldson & Paterson in Glasgow, providing commercial flooring for over 46 years.
In the past year Cosmos Projects has seen its turnover increase by 45%.
Recognising this growth, the company has also created a new customer service pledge called Cosmos Core Certified, which sets out 10 key service commitments to help ensure contracts are delivered to the highest standards.
McNeill said: “Since we restructured the business to create a parent group two years ago, the business has continued to build from strength to strength.
“We are delighted to welcome William and Kirsty to the team, who join Paul Barnes, who was promoted to construction director earlier in the year, and Catherine Meighan, who joined the business as head of finance.
“Succession planning is really important to the business as we continue to grow and it's crucial to have the right people in place.”
The group has also been awarded contracts on behalf of new clients Glasgow Clyde College, Dentons Solicitors and Wincanton.
In addition, a new roofing and cladding division, headed by David Beattie, has completed its first year of trading.
McNeill added: “We are investing in extending our premises, putting in better facilities for staff and are excited about the future, looking towards extending our presence in the sector and continuing to enhance our offering with new and improved services.”
Currently in its 12th year in business, Cosmos Projects Group provides building, refurbishment, maintenance and fit out services to clients throughout Scotland.
