Commenting on this change, Kevin McGovern said “Having founded DML 20 years ago it is now time to step away from day to day operational control and support the team in moving forwards. It is a good time for DML in commencing 2025 with a number of prestigious projects across several sectors of the market. I am sure the business will continue to grow and prosper.”
