Civil engineering and infrastructure specialist Barhale<\/a> has appointed Martin Brown as its new chief executive, taking over from Julian Ripley in September<\/h2>\n

With more than 29 years\u2019 experience in civil engineering and rail infrastructure, Martin Brown joins Barhale after stepping down after nine years as managing director of Keltbray\u2019s UK rail infrastructure<\/a> business.<\/p>\n

Prior to that, Brown operated as a project director for Balfour Beatty<\/a> on a number of high-profile rail and infrastructure projects.<\/p>\n

Brown takes over in September from Julian Ripley who has led the business as interim chief executive since June 2020. Ripley will resume his former role as chief financial officer.<\/p>\n

The appointment comes following a resilient interim financial performance in the six months to December 2020 and a strong forward order book.<\/p>\n

Added value to client relationships<\/h3>\n

Chairman Dennis Curran, said: \u201cHe [Martin Brown] has a proven track record of delivering first-class services across the rail and infrastructure sectors. In the process, he has both added value to client relationships and improved bottom-line performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the outset, Martin felt like a good fit for Barhale. He has a real understanding of and commitment to the Barhale values, our collaborative way of working and our direct delivery model. I am delighted to be welcoming him to the team<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to offer my sincere thanks to Julian Ripley who has provided such excellent stewardship of the business over the last year.<\/p>\n

“Against the background of Covid-19 and the AMP transition, he has proved an able hand at the tiller although I know he is looking forward to getting back to the \u2018day job\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

Martin Brown added: \u201cMy priority will be to lead Barhale into its next phase of growth, building on the strength of its family orientated core values and existing client relationships and expanding its operations within the infrastructure sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cBarhale\u2019s direct delivery model and proven project delivery provides a solid platform for sustainable growth.<\/p>\n

“I look forward to joining the Barhale team, building on the existing momentum and focusing the business, and its teams on engineering and operational excellence to deliver sustainable growth.\u201d<\/p>\n
