About Us

Established in 1966 by Jim Darroch and Joe Allan, the business has grown from a small partnership into one of Moray’s most trusted names in joinery, building, and main contracting.

In 2002, the joinery and building divisions were merged to form a single limited company, supporting the continued growth of the business under the leadership of Andrew Fordyce.

Craig Stewart, who joined the company as a trainee quantity surveyor in 2001, was appointed Director in 2015 and became Managing Director in April 2025, continuing our long-standing commitment to developing leadership from within.

Today, Darroch & Allan remains focused on delivering high-quality work, building strong client relationships, and maintaining the trusted reputation we’ve earned over decades of service.
