Services Inc. has more than just survived the downturn
in the construction industry-they are continuing to expand and
develop their presence in the central Ohio area. As part of their
long-term plan, Scott Gallagher has been named vice
president and will lead daily operations for their next phase of
growth.
MCR has been a strong player in the Central Ohio construction
industry since 1995, with a mixed portfolio of commercial and
residential and a focus on large-scale supportive housing. They
weathered the economic downturn with a focus on "methodical,
strategic growth." The firm has grown their workforce by 300
percent over the last 18 months, and is now well-positioned to take
on projects in the central Ohio area and beyond.
Gallagher's appointment will allow founder and
president Wade Hungerford to focus on strategic growth and business
development. "Just as in building construction, when growing a
company it's important to make sure the foundation is strong.
That's what we're doing with our growth strategy and Scott's
promotion," says Hungerford.
Gallagher, the first CPA in the history of the
firm, has served as controller since joining the company in May
2011. In his new role, he will retain this title and take on
additional operational responsibilities. Prior to joining
MCR, he worked for M/I Homes, Casto, and a large site/concrete
construction company in various roles, including auditor, property
controller, and land development estimator. Hungerford says that
this diverse background will serve the company well. "His
experience allows him to see things from different perspectives. He
has a unique ability to build consensus and inspire
teams."
MCR Services is currently leading several large construction and
remodeling efforts in Columbus, bringing a fresh face to areas that
have been hard hit by the recession. They continue to look for
opportunities to expand their portfolio and their workforce in
Central Ohio and beyond. "I believe that small businesses like ours
are the key to a strong economic future," says Hungerford. "I'm
glad to be part of that future here in
Columbus."
