John Campbell,
W M Donald’s new Surfacing Manager
In recent years, W M Donald has continued to build its reputation for the quality of its road construction and the laying of bituminous materials in general.
To support the growth of surfacing activities across the Netherley, Inverness and Perth offices, W M Donald has appointed John Campbell as Surfacing Manager.
Prior to joining W M Donald, John had spent many years working in a similar capacity for Leiths and Breedon.
John learnt his trade in the army, serving as a Combat Engineer for twelve years, with a further ten years in the Army Reserves. John also spent time as an Instructor with the Royal School of Military Engineering in Chatham.
John’s career in the military included tours of Bosnia, Kosovo and the First Gulf War. He was part of the team that built the runway at RAF Mount Pleasant in the Falklands in the early 1980s. It remains the RAF’s newest purpose- built station. John also constructed a parade ground for 30,000 troops in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
‘After leaving the Army, I spent many years as a scout leader and was fortunate enough to attend several World Scout Jamborees. My passions outside work include fishing and, building and racing remote controlled cars, some of which reach 140mph!
Since I joined W M Donald, we have set up a second surfacing squad which has effectively doubled our capacity. This has been supported by investment in two new Volvo pavers and a bond coat sprayer.’
