STEPHEN Good has been appointed as chief executive of the Construction Scotland Innovation Centre, the body set up to drive collaboration between industry and academia.
Mr Good takes up the role full-time at the end of the month, having held the post on an interim basis since March.
He joins from his role as director of the iQ Building Futures Lab, part of Scottish construction and manufacturing group CCG.
Mr Good, an architect, joined CCG in 2007 and helped lead the delivery of its £12 million offsite timber closed panel production facility in 2010.
In 2011 he set up the iQ lab, which is focused on helping the construction industry meet low carbon targets.
Before working for CCG he spent nine years at Glasgow-based architects Anderson Bell + Christie, latterly as an associate.
He is a member of the leadership groups of Construction Industry Scotland and Scottish Forest & Timber Technologies; and a member of the Homes for Scotland technical and environmental advisory group.
Mr Good said: "Having been involved for the last 18 months as part of the industry group which compiled the bid submitted to the Scottish Funding Council to establish the innovation centre, I am looking forward immensely to the new job and maximising the opportunities for long-term economic growth."
The appointment of Mr Good was confirmed shortly before Construction Scotland holds its annual conference at the Grand Central Hotel in Glasgow on October 7. Interim chairman Bill McBride tipped him to make an immediate impact when he takes up the role full-time.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
