Neall said: \u201cThe time has come for me to step back and focus fully on all of our companies.<\/p>\n

“Whilst it\u2019s tough for me to do, this is great news for Jackson as it needs the drive of a fully focused, young management team who aren\u2019t too set in their ways.<\/p>\n

“After 17 years in post, I\u2019m definitely an \u2018Old Dog\u2019 so I need to get out of the way a little.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cUnlike some of our competitors, Jackson is in a very strong position financially, and we\u2019ve delivered some fantastic results over the past few years.<\/p>\n

“It therefore feels like the right time to hand over the reins whilst the business is performing well.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrian has been with the company since 2001 and has exceptional operational and commercial experience.<\/p>\n

\n

“He will bring that focus to the position as well as a fresh set of eyes on how we do things and where we\u2019re heading.<\/p>\n

“Most importantly, he is also a really good guy with great family support and I wouldn\u2019t be trusting him with my baby if that wasn\u2019t the case.\u201d<\/p>\n

Neall will remain chairman of the One Group Construction Board which turns over \u00a3160m per year and includes Jackson Civil Engineering Group, Emmitt Plant, SEH Ipswich, SEH Surfacing, SEHBAC Home Improvements, SEH Property and Developments, SEH Commercial, SEH French Construction and SEH French Building.<\/p>\n
