Demolition and groundworks specialist O’Keefe Construction (Byrne Group) Limited has appointed a returning managing director after parting company with Marc Daly.

Daly joined as MD in 2021 from Careys.

In 2022 concrete frame specialist Byrne Group bought the properties and plant of O’Keefe Group after the firm ran into financial difficulties.

O’Keefe has now appointed Lee Horsley as Managing Director.

Horsley previously spent 20 years at O’Keefe, including time as MD.

He said: “O’Keefe has a strong reputation for quality and high performance, and I look forward to working closely with the leadership team to build on our achievements and drive further success.”

Michael Byrne, Byrne Group Chief Executive, said: “We are delighted to welcome Lee back to O’Keefe’s, he commands a wealth of experience and strong leadership skills.

“Lee’s knowledge within the industry, and the business, will be invaluable in delivering on O’Keefe’s long-term strategy and providing the highest standards of safety, quality and efficiency for our clients.”
