In a significant move to align with Scotland's increasing investment in infrastructure, Story Scotland has unveiled a new dedicated transportation division. This strategic move follows the launch of an energy division earlier this year and is part of a broader restructuring effort aimed at enhancing service delivery and supporting Scotland's evolving transportation needs. The transportation division is poised to play a crucial role in shaping Scotland's infrastructure landscape, with ambitious plans to meet the growing demand for efficient and sustainable transportation solutions.
John MacArthur, Managing Director of Story Scotland, emphasized the importance of adapting the business model to capitalize on emerging opportunities in the transportation and energy sectors. "We see significant investment in these areas over the next decade, so it's crucial that our business model is adapted in a way that allows us to respond to the challenges and opportunities this will bring. Having two distinct divisions brings ownership and accountability, enabling us to build stronger, more collaborative relationships with our clients," he noted[1][2].
The new transportation division will be led by Craig Lafferty, who brings 27 years of extensive experience in the construction industry, having worked on projects worth up to £450 million across rail, nuclear, marine, highways, and petrochemical sectors[1][3]. Lafferty's leadership is expected to drive growth and foster a collaborative culture that supports both the workforce and supply chain partners[3][4].
With approximately 40 projects already lined up for the next year under Network Rail's CP7 framework, the transportation division is set for a busy year ahead. Key projects include:
The division is forecast to generate sales of £70 million to £80 million in the coming year, with ambitious plans to scale up to over £100 million annually within five years[2][5]. To support this growth, Story Scotland will expand its workforce and supply chain, focusing on skills and talent development[1][4].
In addition to Craig Lafferty, Campbell Connor, appointed as Commercial Director in 2024, will play a pivotal role in shaping Story Scotland's commercial strategies and partnerships. With 35 years of experience across civil engineering infrastructure, including rail, roads, aviation, water, and nuclear sectors, Connor's expertise will be instrumental in driving business growth and maintaining strong client relationships[1][3].
Story Scotland's commitment to fostering a collaborative culture extends to investing in apprenticeships and early careers recruitment. This strategic focus on talent development ensures a strong pipeline of skilled professionals, crucial for delivering complex infrastructure projects and meeting future demands[3][4].
The launch of the transportation division not only aligns with Scotland's infrastructure goals but also contributes to the country's economic growth. By investing in the development of transportation infrastructure, Story Scotland is supporting job creation, enhancing economic opportunities, and contributing to Scotland's competitiveness in the global market.
Story Scotland's new transportation division represents a significant step forward in enhancing Scotland's infrastructure capabilities. With a clear vision for growth and a strong leadership team in place, the company is well-positioned to capitalize on emerging opportunities in the transportation sector. As Scotland continues to invest heavily in its infrastructure, Story Scotland's commitment to professional delivery and community engagement will play a crucial role in shaping the country's transportation landscape.
