HG Construction has appointed Greg Purkiss as its new Managing Director in the final phase of its corporate restructure. Greg previously held the position of Commercial Director at the company, which he joined in 2000 as a Trainee Quantity Surveyor.
In his new role, Greg will work alongside CEO Adam Quinn to oversee and manage all business operations across the UK.
The business has undergone a period of significant growth in the last five years, expanding its presence in the purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA), residential, hotel, retirement and commercial markets. In addition to a strong portfolio of work in London and the Southeast, the company has expanded its national reach to include Leeds, Manchester and Bristol.
“I am delighted to be taking on this new role as HG Construction continues to evolve as a business. I have been with the company for 24 years and during that time the business has changed greatly, but its values of customer focus, quality, collaboration and communication have remained constant.
“The structure of the business has transformed to ensure we continue to deliver on our commitment to on-time delivery and remain at the forefront of the sector. I am passionate about the success of HG Construction and am thrilled to be playing a part in shaping its future.”
Greg Purkiss, Managing Director, HG Construction
With a continued programme of investment into its self-delivery capabilities and a strong track record of repeat business, HG Construction has successfully navigated the turbulent conditions of the last few years.
Greg’s appointment follows significant structural changes across the business over the past year, with the establishment of a new Operational Board and appointment of dedicated Construction Directors with regional responsibility.
“Welcoming Greg into the role of MD is the final piece of our strategic restructuring plan. With proven leadership and management skills, Greg has been an integral factor to the growth and success of the company and is the ideal candidate to take up the challenges of this role. Chris Martin is a worthy successor to Greg, taking up the role of Commercial Director and continuing to drive efficiencies and high standards across our commercial operations.
“I have no doubt that both will continue to flourish in their new roles and look forward to working closely with Greg and Chris to successfully deliver the next phase in our strategic plan.”

Chris Martin has been promoted to the role of Commercial Director, assuming responsibility for leading HG’s commercial operations. Martin has been with the company for nine years and is a highly valued team member with extensive surveying and commercial experience, and a commitment to excellence.
