The Royal BAM Group<\/a> has announced that executive director James Wimpenny will retire on 31 January 2023<\/h2>\n

James Wimpenny joined BAM in 1985 as a management trainee and has developed his career through various operational and leadership roles.<\/p>\n

In May 2015, James joined the BAM Construct UK board, becoming the lead of this part of the business in January 2017 and subsequently joining the UK and Ireland Divisional Leadership team as the executive director of the Construction segment in January 2022.<\/p>\n

Simon Finnie will lead the BAM construction segment whilst a successor is recruited<\/h3>\n

John Wilkinson, COO, BAM UK and Ireland, said: \u201cI would like to thank James for his service, commitment and contribution to BAM over his long career with the business. I know he is looking forward to having more time to spend with his family and pursue some opportunities with charitable organisations.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring his career James has played a key role in the early adoption of digital technologies<\/a> in the Construction segment and has been an advocate of collaboration both internally and externally with our supply chain and clients.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am delighted that Simon Finnie has agreed to step in to lead the Construction segment while we recruit James\u2019 successor. Simon has a wealth of skills and knowledge from his time with BAM and the wider construction industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
