Durkan Group launches dedicated regeneration business

Durkan Group has launched a dedicated regeneration business, Durkan Regen, in response to growing market demand.

Durkan Regen will provide services including asset regeneration, planned maintenance, compliance services including damp and mould, fire remediation and general repairs, as well as retrofit, decarbonisation and cladding remediation.

Recently appointed managing director of Durkan Regen, Dan Germann, who has over 30 years’ experience in the sector, has been instrumental in establishing the dedicated regeneration business and bringing it to market.

Dan brings a wealth of experience, having previously held senior roles at Keepmoat Regeneration, Apollo Group, Engie and most recently EQUANS UK, where he was responsible for leading a £350million business.

Commenting on the launch of Durkan Regen and his appointment, Dan said: “Over the last year alone, Durkan has significantly increased its market share of regeneration activity in London and the South East, working with local authorities and housing associations in the regeneration of their existing stock.”

“Moving into 2025 and beyond, we’re committed to further growing our regeneration portfolio in conjunction with our customers. We’ll use our experience in the housing industry to help local authorities and housing associations create better homes and communities for people, regenerate housing stock to ensure homes are decent and safe, and help meet their net zero targets.”

“Durkan Regen gives us the structure and platform we need to deliver and to grow. I’m looking forward to spearheading Durkan’s investment in this area and supporting the business in its continued success”.

Ronan Murphy, CEO at Durkan, added: “Durkan Group has a wealth of experience in the regeneration sector, so the launch of Durkan Regen is a natural next step on this journey. Dan’s appointment as managing director is a valuable addition to the Durkan team as we look to actively grow in the marketplace. He brings with him decades of experience that he will use to drive our business forward.”

Alongside Durkan Regen, Durkan Group will continue to grow and expand its housebuilding business, Durkan Homes, which launched in 2019.
