Balfour operations director joins Alun Griffiths

摘要

Former Balfour Beatty regional operations director Stephen Tomkins has joined Alun Griffiths. Tomkins (pictured), previously Balfour's UK construction services ops director for the North and Midlands, has been appointed to the role of managing director at the civils specialist. A statement from the Abergavenny-based firm said Tomkins "has delivered an extensive variety of high-profile and award-winning projects across highways, rail, regeneration, infrastructure and marine sectors" during his 25-year career. He had an earlier spell at Alun Griffiths from 2013-14 and also spent four years at Galliford Try, according to his LinkedIn profile. Tomkins' departure follows that of Balfour Beatty construction services MD for the South, Beth West, who left after the southern England business was merged with the North and Midlands unit last month. The units, which were amalgamated due to "market conditions", are now one construction services business covering all of England and are headed up by Thomas Edgcumbe. Paul Fleetham,MD of Griffiths' parent company Tarmac Contracting, said Tomkins' "leadership skills, experience and passion for the civil engineering sector will be a huge asset as we continue to move the business forward".
