He has 20 years' experience in manufacturing for the construction sector, which has included specialist cladding and structural steel solutions. In addition, he holds an MSc in BIM and Project Management from Queen's University Belfast as well as an MSc in Manufacturing Management.

Eugene Lynch, Managing Director of The McAvoy Group, said: "We want to embed innovation across the business to ensure we remain at the forefront of offsite manufacturing in the UK. We are already embracing the new digital technologies such as virtual and augmented reality, which are set to transform the construction industry. We now want to apply that transformation to the manufacturing process – from the use of robotics to innovative new materials – which will take the efficiency and quality of our offsite construction solutions to the next level and offer even greater benefits to our customers. This new role is fundamental to achieving those ambitions."
