BAM has poached Sir Robert McAlpine healthcare chief Mark Gibson to become Northern regional director for construction.
Gibson will take up his role later this year and brings over 30 years of industry experience.
He takes up the role held by John Phillips who retired after a long career with the contractor two months ago.
Since 2023, Gibson has been managing director of Sir Robert McAlpine’s Healthcare operation while previously holding the position of MD for the Northern Business Unit.
In this role, he had overall responsibility for the contractor’s growth in key sectors including healthcare, education, leisure, commercial and industrial within the region.
Kim Sides, executive director, Construction for BAM UK & Ireland, said: “I am sure Mark will bring fresh expertise in our Northern region. He is also extremely familiar with the area and the opportunities it can provide BAM in the north of England and right across the UK.
“His focus on driving customer-focussed solution and building long and lasting relationships aligns completely with our strategy, and I am confident Mark will help create real value for the division and grow our construction business in the years ahead.”
