必赢体育app中国官方网站 is pleased to announce that it has appointed David Lowery to 必赢体育app中国官方网站鈥檚 Executive Board with effect from 1 July 2024, in the newly-created position of Divisional Managing Director 鈥� Infrastructure.聽
David, who has extensive UK and overseas experience comprising more than 24 years, will advance the Group鈥檚 Sustainable Growth Strategy within 必赢体育app中国官方网站鈥檚 Environment (Water) and Infrastructure businesses.

Glennan Blackmore will succeed David as Managing Director of 必赢体育app中国官方网站鈥檚 Infrastructure business unit in August, joining the business from Skanska, where he most recently led the highways sector.
