“Being in the industry for over 30 years, BAM have always been renowned for delivering sustainable and high-quality projects for all their clients and communities. To be playing a key role in their future is a challenge I can’t wait to be part of.”

Kim Sides, executive director of Construction for BAM UK & Ireland, said: “I am delighted Mark has chosen to join us and I am sure he will bring fresh expertise in our Northern region. 

“He is also extremely familiar with the area and the opportunities it can provide BAM in the north of England and right across the UK. 

“His focus on driving customer-focussed solutions and building long and lasting relationships aligns completely with our strategy and I am confident Mark will help create real value for the division and grow our construction business in the years ahead.”
