When we advertised for a Contracts Delivery Manager for Infrastructure Management we did not expect the result that we got. I am, however, happy to report that the result is a better one than we could have imagined.

After careful consideration of the applications we received it was concluded that the best solution would be to offer Miles a transfer from Specialist Contracts to IM and to employ Richard Herries, who has been assisting with IM works for the past few weeks, as Director of Specialist Contracts.

Miles we all know, has a great deal of experience in the type of work undertaken by IM will no doubt do a great job with here. Richard has years of experience, both in the UK and overseas in delivering projects and managing teams delivering construction projects in the Telecoms sector. It is hoped that this experience will benefit Specialist Contracts in the coming years.

The new appointments will take effect from 1st June 2009 with May being a period of transition. I trust that we will all wish them well as they take on their new challenging roles.
