Brothers Peter and Nicholas McPhillips are both retiring as joint managing directors of McPhillips (Wellington) Ltd, the construction firm started by their father Jim in 1963.
With full order books for the year ahead, the brothers decided it was time to hand over to their long-serving team of four directors, who have between them a total of 80 years’ experience with the firm.
New managing director Paul Inions, who joined the firm as a trainee quantity surveyor 27 years ago, said it was a significant moment in the company's history. "The values upon which the business was founded by the McPhillips family will continue to be promoted," he said. "With a buoyant order book and new opportunities ahead, we are looking forward with confidence to a bright future as we continue to build on the McPhillips tradition."
