New managing directors for Granite Le Pelley

Wednesday 10 September 2014

Channel Islands stone company Granite Le Pelley has promoted two staff - Pascal Maurice in Jersey and Richard Breban in Guernsey - to the role of managing director.

In addition, Phil Le Roy, former Managing Director of Granite Le Pelley Guernsey and Jersey, will move to the Garenne Group headquarters to a new role for the group to oversee both the traditional stone and architectural precast businesses in the Channel Islands and the UK

Garenne Group chief executive officer Andy Hall said: “Both Pascal and Richard have been an integral part in the growth and success of Granite Le Pelley in Jersey and Guernsey and will have a clear role to continue building the company in their respective islands.  By recognising their contribution and making these promotions, we can then utilise Phil’s experience and expertise across the wider Garenne Group.”

Mr Maurice, who has a degree in Civil Works and Structural Engineering from the Ecole Nationale d’Ingenieur de Saint Etienne de Genie Civil, moved to Granite Le Pelley from its sister company, Camerons, in 2010. He has worked on a number of high profile projects including 44 The Esplanade, Durrell’s new visitor centre and Liberty Wharf. In the last year he has launched the restoration and cleaning service for Granite Le Pelly with two notable projects successfully completed at New Look and St James.

Mr Breban joined Granite Le Pelley in 1983 and trained as a stonemason alongside the company’s founder Mick Le Pelley. He has worked for the company for over 24 years and as a director for the last 14 years. Mr Breban, who has been president of the South Show for ten years - and is also a member of the Forest Douzaine - has worked on some of the company’s most notable projects including the Royal Court, Marina View and One St Julian’s Avenue.
