Kier hires London regional director from Laing O’Rourke

Kier has named Gus Wright as a new regional director for its London business. Wright will join the construction firm in January next year, having previously worked for Ardmore Group, Mace and, most recently, Laing O’Rourke, where he oversaw the delivery of the Brunel Building in Paddington, W2. In a newly created role, he will be responsible for the operational delivery of Kier’s commercial and residential projects across London. The move follows Kier’s continued growth in the London commercial and residential markets, securing more than £200m of new contracts. David McKenzie, managing director of Kier Construction London & Southern, said: “As part of our strategy, we have built up a strong portfolio in London, and Gus will further enhance our operational leadership, capability and capacity to our London clients.” To send feedback, e-mail evelina.grecenko@eg.co.uk or tweet @Gre_Eve or @EGPropertyNews See which agents are doing the most deals in the London submarkets with our On-Demand Rankings >> Photo © Kier
