Tilbury Douglas, the former construction arm of Interserve, has appointed a new permanent commercial director to help drive the \u201csustainable growth\u201d of the now-standalone business.<\/p>\n
Martyn Smith joined the London-based firm today, having spent nearly three years as commercial director at Ferrovial\u2019s UK business.<\/p>\n
Smith is a permanent replacement for Ben Edwards, who left Tilbury Douglas last July. Former Lendlease executive Tom Spilsted had been acting as interim commercial director.<\/p>\n
In May last year Tilbury Douglas fully separated from Interserve to operate as a standalone contractor.<\/p>\n
The firm was the last remaining division of Interserve, which went into administration in 2019. Kier was in talks to acquire Tilbury Douglas but abandoned the plans last March.<\/p>\n
Smith, who has also worked for Kier, Costain and Vinci during his 25-year career, said: \u201cI am very excited to be joining Tilbury Douglas at such an important stage of the company\u2019s development, having become a standalone major contractor in 2022. I look forward to playing an active part in delivering growth for the business.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tilbury Douglas chief executive Paul Gandy said: \u201cMartyn will be responsible for the development and implementation of the business\u2019s commercial strategy, which supports the sustainable growth of Tilbury Douglas.\u201d<\/p>\n
Smith\u2019s appointment comes after the firm reshuffled some of its executive team last September.<\/p>\n
In its last reported full-year to the end of December 2020, Tilbury Douglas recorded a profit of \u00a326.3m with a turnover of \u00a3372.3m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
