Paul Kelly promoted to Managing Director

Sep 11, 2024

This strategic appointment, effective immediately, reflects the Group’s commitment to enhancing its leadership team as it continues its growth trajectory across the UK.

Paul joined the Group in November 2015 as Development Director and, in September 2016, he was promoted to the board, where he has played a pivotal role in overseeing the delivery of our key commercial and mixed-use developments across the North West, Wales and Scotland.

As Managing Director, Paul will assume additional Real Estate operational duties, allowing our Chief Executive, Simon McCabe, to focus on broader strategic initiatives aimed at accelerating the delivery of the Group’s portfolio of projects, growing Scarborough Management Services and driving the Blueprint serviced offices brand.

Simon commented:

“Paul has been instrumental in the success of our North West and residential divisions. His depth of experience and leadership will be crucial as we move into the next phase of our growth. This new role will allow me to focus on strategic initiatives and I am confident that under Paul’s guidance, the business will continue to thrive.”

Paul is a Chartered Surveyor with more than 20 years of experience in the UK property industry, specialising in large-scale regeneration projects across residential, commercial and other sectors. He has been instrumental in leading significant strategic developments for the Group, including projects like Middlewood Locks in Manchester and Queensferry One in Edinburgh.

Speaking on his promotion, Paul said:

“I am excited to take on this new challenge and build on the strong foundation we have established at Scarborough Group. My focus will be on driving forward our developments across the UK and ensuring we continue to deliver the high-quality projects we are known for. I look forward to working more closely with our talented team and continuing to support the company’s long-term vision.”

In his new role, Paul will also remain responsible for the day-to-day management of our Manchester office and continue to oversee the identification and delivery of our key commercial and mixed-use developments across the UK.
