FIS is pleased to announce that Justin Devaney has been elected to the position as Vice President of the FIS Board of Directors.

A member of the FIS board since 2023, Justin has 20 years’ experience working in the fit-out industry. He started on site as a ceiling installer and now holds the position of Operations Director with FIS Contractor Member Platt & Reilly.

“I have spent almost 20 years with Platt and Reilly, working in the UK fit-out industry and overseas. I have a keen interest in playing my part in ensuring the fit-out industry receives the recognition and respect it truly deserves while striving for a level playing field for all involved. I play an active role in addressing the UK’s skills shortage, having overseen the implementation of a monumental training programme within the business.” said Justin. “I look forward to working with the current board to build on the phenomenal achievements of both past and present boards.”

Commenting on the new appointment, FIS CEO Iain McIlwee said:

“I’d add my own congratulations to Justin and look forward to working with him in this capacity.  Justin is a passionate advocate of better and his contributions already are helping to shape the way we are working.  Justin gets that change is about inspiring and supporting the people in the community as well as influencing those around us.  He leads by example and has been generous in sharing his knowledge and time for the good of the community.”

“It will be an honour to represent FIS as Vice President in 2025, and I will fulfil the role with the deference the position deserves,” concludes Justin.
