Guerdon Modular Buildings of Boise, Idaho has hired Pete Murray as president and chief operating officer (COO) as the company continues its growth in the western U. S. market, building modular multi-housing developments, reports idahobusinessreview. Murray has been vice-president of western manufacturing operations for Welch Allyn, a medical device maker in Oregon.

“Commercial modular construction has been considered a niche approach, but as developers, architects and contractors recognize the value of the process over traditional construction techniques, modular is becoming mainstream,” said Lad Dawson, CEO of Guerdon

As MHProNews reported May 7, 2015, Guerdon was recently honored by the Modular Building Institute’s 2015 Awards of Distinction as best-in-show for its 444 luxury Domain apartments in San Jose, California. ##
