The new division will merge with the well-established electrical services business previously known as Calder Electrical, adopting the new SB Services identity and working alongside the company’s joinery, plumbing and decorating departments to offer clients a fully integrated multi-trade solution across the commercial, industrial, energy and residential sectors.

Highland service companies Scotbuild and Calder Electrical, were acquired by UK energy and infrastructure solutions provider Global in 2024 to strengthen its construction and building services portfolio.

At that time, Daniel Cormack was appointed as managing director to oversee the growth of the business.

On the rebrand and new focus on Mechanical & Electrical offering of the company, Cormack said: “This is an exciting milestone for the business which is now unified under one brand. The launch of SB Services and our new Mechanical division strengthens our ability to deliver larger and more complex projects across the North of Scotland.

“We’ve built a strong team with the right experience, accreditations and local presence and we’re looking forward to continuing that growth with both existing and new clients.”

SB Services has appointed Paul Richardson (mechanical operations manager) and John MacPherson (compliance and technical manager) to key roles in their new M&E division. Paul and John boast a combined 60+ years of experience in the M&E field.

SB Services M&E division will complement the company’s existing construction services offering.

Speaking about the launch of the new division, SB Services MD, Cormack, said: “We’re delighted to launch our new M&E division and unveil Paul and John as two key appointments, these vastly experienced leaders in the Mechanical & Electrical field strengthens our existing capability in this area and establishes us as a truly integrated services provider.

“The creation of this new division is a strategic step that complements our existing electrical and plumbing and heating capabilities, enhancing our position as an integrated MEP services provider.”

SB Services M&E division will deliver a comprehensive suite of MEP services across the Commercial, Industrial, Energy and Residential sectors.

New mechanical operations manager, Paul Richardson, said: “I’m delighted to be joining SB Services at such an exciting stage in the company’s growth. There is a clear vision for building a strong, fully integrated MEP offering across the North of Scotland, and I’m looking forward to helping develop the Mechanical division alongside the wider team.

“The business already has an excellent reputation for quality, reliability and client service and the addition of dedicated Mechanical capability creates significant opportunities across the commercial, industrial, energy and residential sectors.”

SB Services has also appointed Chris Ogg as operations manager. Chris brings significant operational and project delivery experience to the business and will play a key role in supporting the continued growth of SB Services.

On Chris’s appointment, managing director Daniel Cormack said: “Chris is a fantastic addition to the business and brings a wealth of operational experience, strong leadership and a practical understanding of project delivery. As SB Services continues to grow, it’s important that we continue investing in the right people and structures to support that growth.

“Chris will play a key role in helping drive operational performance, supporting our teams on the ground and ensuring we continue to deliver the high standards of service our clients expect from us.”
