Huw Jones will start his new role in January
Bam Nuttall has promoted its managing director of transport to the position of managing director for the entire business.
Huw Jones will take over the mantle from Ian Parish, who announced his retirement last month following a year in the top job.
Jones joined the firm as a project manager in 2009 and will move into the top position in January.
Bam Nuttall confirmed that Parish will stay on for a month to hand over the role.
Bam UK and Ireland chief operating officer John Wilkinson said: “Huw has brought huge success to our rail division over the last decade and he brings a fresh approach and a real appetite to deliver for our stakeholders, as he takes up his new role leading our civil engineering business.”
The shuffle is the latest in a host of changes that have been made since Royal Bam, the parent company, restructured its business last November.
Rather than being based on the sectors in which they operated, Bam’s two divisions are now based on the geography of the group – bringing construction arm Bam Construct and engineering firm Bam Nuttall into one organisation known as Bam UK and Ireland.
Bosses at Bam Nuttall and Bam Construct now report to Wilkinson, who also joined the executive board of Royal Bam.
In March, two senior directors at Bam Construct also left their posts as executive director and regional director.
