He joined Travis Perkins 24 years ago as a management apprentice, becoming branch manager and later regional director of the builders merchant business. He was then promoted to managing director for the group’s interior building products specialist CFF in 2008 before taking on the reins for supplier of civils, drainage and heavy building materials Keyline in 2013.
He moved across to head up market-leading industrial pipeline and heating solutions distributor BSS in 2017.
Travis Perkins chief executive John Carter said: “Kieran has developed a track record for providing clear and strategic leadership that generates outstanding results and outperforms the market, often in challenging circumstances. I believe he is very well placed to build on our commercial strength and develop our merchant model for future growth.”
