\"\"Galliford Try<\/a> has appointed David Lowery, who has over 20 years experience, as the new managing director of its highways business<\/h2>\n

David Lowery joined Galliford Try earlier this year after being identified as a successor to Duncan Elliott.<\/p>\n

Elliott made a decision last year to step down and pursue new opportunities, following a successful period in charge of the business that included the recent appointment to the final phase of the Grantham Southern Relief Road.<\/p>\n

Lowery joined the business as operations director from his previous role as executive director for the Eiffage Kier Ferrovial BAM<\/a> joint venture working on HS2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Elliott has now decided to bring forward his departure but will remain with the business over the next few months to complete the transition.<\/p>\n

Lowery has both extensive experience in the highways sector as well as significant knowledge and experience beyond that, including his strong advocacy for our inclusion agenda.<\/p>\n

Upholding progress for the future<\/h3>\n

David Lowery said: \u201cI am delighted to be given the opportunity to lead the Galliford Try highways<\/a> team.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a business we are in a great position for the future with excellent relationships with our key clients and I look forward to working with our people and our stakeholders to maintain our progress in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bill Hocking, chief executive of Galliford Try, added: \u201cDuncan has done a fantastic job and leaves the highways business in a great position.<\/p>\n

\u201cDavid is someone we identified as a rising talent and we are delighted to have been able to confirm his appointment as managing director.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look forward to working with him in his new role and thank Duncan for his efforts during his time here.\u201d<\/p>\n
