Peter Jones will be supported by David Hartley, as chief operating officer (COO) of Freedom, who will continue to lead the power, networks and professional services business units. Tim Simmons is COO of the new facilities & infrastructure business, combining facilities engineering services with the group鈥檚 civils works, building and small works projects and property-related services, including asbestos management and grounds maintenance.

Stuart Linington retired from the business at the end of August, having overseen the growth of facilities services from a 拢30m turnover business to one generating almost 拢100m in sales.
Chief executive David Hurcomb said: 鈥淪eparately, the group鈥檚 three services-led divisions have established strong positions in their individual markets, so combining their strengths provides us with a very powerful and persuasive offer across the entire industry. It also underpins the delivery of our order book, which is circa 拢1.4bn and delivers a more balanced construction and services business.聽
鈥淧eter has an extensive background in services and infrastructure at a national and international level, so he is the ideal person to lead this combined division and to drive its growth through innovation and outstanding customer service.
