\u201cI am delighted to step into the role of managing director at Britcon and look forward to leading the business into an exciting future.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cWe have achieved a strong reputation in identified growth sectors which include renewables, energy, power and emergency services where we have been successful in securing a number of major contracts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese include a \u00a39m anaerobic digestion plant for Refood in Widnes and a \u00a37m fire training facility for Babcock in London.<\/p>\n
