ISG Middle East has appointed Steve Ramsden as its new managing director.
Ramsden will step into his new role this month, having been ISG Middle East’s general manager from February 2016.
He succeeds the current managing director Alan McCready, who will be stepping down after almost eight years at the helm, to pursue other professional ventures.
Ramsden said: “I am both humbled and excited by this opportunity. I am also fully focused on taking the ISG business forward and building on Alan’s legacy of excellence, working alongside ISG’s strong team in the region.
“ISG has continued to grow both internationally and here in the UAE since 2009. My ambition is to build on this with our leadership team and to continue developing the business – delivering exceptional service and fit out solutions to our clients.”
Prior to joining ISG, Ramsden was the Middle East managing director of a major global fit out company, where he led the premium and travel retail division delivering projects for some of the world’s most prestigious retailers and airport operators.
ISG Middle East recently completed refurbishment of the Kempinski Mall of the Emirates hotel, which is Dubai’s biggest ever live hospitality refurbishment project.
The company is also currently undertaking a number of large-scale corporate fit out projects, particularly in DIFC and Abu Dhabi Global Market Square.
