Vinci snaps up Kier director

摘要

Vinci has hired former Kier director Garry Bowker (right), who has become director of the company's North West office. Bowker joins Vinci following eight years with Kier, where he was most recently in charge of the Manchester region. Prior to that, he spent almost 12 years with Mansell Construction Services, a subsidiary of Balfour Beatty that has since been brought under the contractor's own name. In his new role, he will oversee projects including a new £75m shopping centre in Trafford Centre, Manchester, as well as Vinci's £70m regeneration of Warrington's Time Square. Bowker takes over from John Roberts, who has been promoted to regional managing director for Vinci, overseeing the North West, North East and Midlands.
