Sales and marketing director Elaine Wilson said Mr Black’s promotion recognised the "excellent work" he had done for Oregon in health and safety over the past six years; and the priority the company gave to its health and safety performance on site and in the factory.

"Housebuilders want to be confident of the safety as well as the sustainability of their timber frame projects," she said.

Mr Black is also vice chair of the Scottish Housebuilders’ health and safety forum.
