Tier One contractor, Robertson Construction has named Paul Coyle as its new regional managing director for the North West.
Coyle, who joined Robertson in 2018 as commercial manager, has quickly risen through the ranks, becoming commercial director in 2022, before his latest promotion.
His appointment reflects the company’s focus on nurturing internal leadership and reinforcing its presence in the region.
Under Coyle’s leadership, Robertson is set to continue its role in delivering major regional projects, including the Mynydd Isa Campus in Flintshire – a net-zero school campus for Flintshire Council – and the Manchester Art Gallery refurbishment.
The company is also working on four new community fire stations for Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Services, as well as the redevelopment of the Holiday Inn at Talbot Gateway in Blackpool.

Robertson Group’s chief executive officer, Elliot Robertson, expressed confidence in Coyle’s leadership.
“Paul has been a key member of our North West region team since joining the business and we are pleased to confirm his appointment as Regional MD,” she said.
“Part of our business ethos is to create career pathways for our employees, and we look forward to continuing to work with Paul and our customers across the region to deliver more high quality projects, that have both significant social and sustainable impacts.”
Coyle added: “I’m looking forward to continuing to lead the team as we focus on sustainable growth across the region working with our existing and new customer base.”
In addition to Coyle’s appointment, the company has made several other key hires this year, including Craig Thow as operations director for the Northern region and John Baggley as managing director of Robertson Partnership Homes, further strengthening its leadership across multiple divisions.
In its latest financial results for the year ended 30 June 2024, Robertson Construction saw a significant increase in turnover to £627.3 million, up from £489.5 million the previous year, but reported a pre-tax loss of £12.5 million, a sharp decline from the £16 million profit recorded in FY2023, largely due to poor performance on several contracts.
