“I am really looking forward to meeting our local roads teams – helping them on their journey to deliver great roads projects and services. I am also eager to work with the wider Mott MacDonald team<\/a>, where I hope to explore technological opportunities to bring benefits to Scotland\u2019s roads users.”<\/p>\n

John D\u2019Arcy, Mott MacDonald\u2019s UK managing director for highways, said: \u201cMark is passionate about the future of roads and the opportunities for digital transformation and maximising the social value returns on road sector investment.<\/p>\n

\u201cMark\u2019s extensive experience and his understanding of the challenges faced from all perspectives will enable our teams to optimise sustainable solutions for clients, partners and stakeholders.<\/p>\n

\u201cMark will combine his deep understanding of the needs of Scotland\u2019s road users with his leading experience of roads project delivery and asset management. Mark\u2019s leadership will continue to make a valuable contribution to the roads sector in Scotland, drawing upon and developing excellence across Mott MacDonald.\u201d<\/p>\n
