Developing Kier’s presence in the flourishing London market<\/h3>\n

David McKenzie, managing director of Kier Construction, London & Southern, said: \u201cI am delighted to be announcing the appointment of Gus to our London business.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs 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. I\u2019m looking forward to welcoming Gus in January and working together to continue to drive operational excellence and growth<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gus Wright added: \u201cI am thrilled to be joining Kier, a distinguished organisation with clear core values and a solid reputation. This new role offers a great opportunity to further develop the London business and I look forward to positively contributing to the strategy, working with the site teams and enhancing our client and partner relationships.\u201d<\/p>\n
