Danny Sullivan Group strengthens leadership

With key appointments to drive governance, compliance and future growth.

Danny Sullivan Group is proud to announce two major appointments that reflect our continued investment in becoming the most trusted and forward-thinking partner in our industry.

Russell Deards joins DSG as General Counsel and Company Secretary, bringing over three decades of legal experience to the business. A qualified solicitor since 1991, Russell has held senior legal and governance roles at Barratt Developments, Henry Boot Plc, DX Group Plc and the Highbourne Group. His deep expertise in construction & engineering law and corporate governance will be pivotal as DSG continues to strengthen its compliance and risk management frameworks.

Alongside Russell, Michelle McLaughlin has been appointed Director of Finance. Michelle brings a wealth of financial leadership experience across some of the UK’s most respected brands, including Sealskinz, Clancy Group, Ted Baker, Monarch Airlines, BHP Billiton, TUI Travel and InBetvo. Her appointment will help further professionalise DSG’s financial operations and underpin our long-term strategy for sustainable growth.

These appointments represent our belief that strong governance and responsible growth go hand in hand.

Kacey O Driscoll, Executive Director at Danny Sullivan Group said: “Russell and Michelle are tremendous additions to the leadership team. Their experience and expertise will be integral to ensuring that our best in class service continues to be matched by industry leading compliance and governance systems. They join at an exciting time for the industry as we move towards one of the most transformative periods in decades and we as a business are committed to ensuring that – with the right talent on our side – we continue to be best placed to support our valued clients and partners on that journey.”

As we continue to invest in our people, partners, supply chain and communities, DSG remains focused on one clear goal:

Building the future, together—stronger, safer, and more advanced than ever before.
