Nathan Burge has been named Fleet Engineer by McGill’s Group subsidiary Midland Bluebird. He takes up that newly-created role to “enhance technical leadership, improve oversight, and support frontline teams throughout the region.”
Mr Burge has 15 years’ engineering experience that began via an apprenticeship. He joined McGill’s as Assistant Engineering Manager before becoming Engineering Standards Auditor. In 2024, he moved to a position focused on health and safety.
Speaking about the promotion, he says: “I am incredibly proud to take on the role of Fleet Engineer and continue my journey with McGill’s. Having started out as an apprentice, it has been a rewarding experience to develop my career within a business that truly invests in its people.
“This role gives me the opportunity to take a more strategic approach to fleet management, ensuring that we maintain consistent high standards across the region while supporting our teams on the ground.
“I am particularly looking forward to strengthening technical oversight, improving performance across the fleet, and helping to drive innovation as the business continues to grow.”
Mr Burge adds that he will also continue to work with a wider team to develop McGill’s own apprenticeship programme. “Creating a clear pathway for future talent is something I am deeply passionate about, and I am committed to helping to nurture the next generation of skilled engineers.”
McGill’s Group HR, Training and Recruitment Director Neil Dryden has congratulated Mr Burge on his appointment, noting how he has been “a real asset to the business” since joining.
“Nathan brings a wealth of knowledge and experience that will help to strengthen our engineering function, and we have every confidence in his ability to excel in this new role,” continues Mr Dryden.
“We are also continuing to invest in our engineering teams, with a number of opportunities available for those looking to build and progress their careers.”
