Costain has appointed Paul Morris as group commercial director, joining its executive board.
Morris has been with the contractor since 2011 and has held a number of leadership roles across the organisation, most recently as commercial services director.
He will be taking over from David Taylor who has chosen to step down from the executive board after 10 years as Costain’s group commercial director. Taylor will remain in the business to provide commercial support for specific projects.
Alex Vaughan, CEO at Costain, said: “Paul has a wealth of commercial experience, more than a decade of which has been spent with Costain, and we’re pleased our strategic planning has allowed us to maintain such strong commercial continuity. Paul will help ensure our business strategy remains firmly aligned with the needs of our customers in the UK’s critical infrastructure sectors.”
Morris added: “The UK faces significant, strategic infrastructure decisions over the next few years and Costain will play a pivotal role. I’m looking forward to helping our customers solve their challenges and fulfil their business plans.”
